I’m delighted to share the news this morning that EN’s very own Tilly Berendt was recently awarded the inaugural Kit Houghton Photo of the Year Award from the British Equestrian Media Association (BEMA) for her incredible snap of Harriet Biddick and Silver Lift while working for the Hickstead press office earlier this year. Here’s how the moment played out.
Tilly is pretty modest in suggesting she was lucky to get this shot, but I think what the general public might not realize about photography is actually how easy it is to miss or botch a shot like this even if you are in the right place at the right time. Our gal’s got skills. Congrats, Tilly!

Sponsor Corner: Lea Adams-Blackmore has had a busy season. From the Canada to Maryland, Lea flew to one other major event to round out her season– but this time, her title was groom, not rider. Hear about what it was like to groom for Sharon White at the Pan-American Games in this article sponsored by World Equestrian Brands.
