Panda has had an incredibly successful season winning RIHS and HOYS this year.
Harlow and Panda won the Junior Mountain and Moorland Large Breeds class at the Royal International Horse Show before going on to take the prestigious Heritage Junior Mountain and Moorland Championship.
He qualified in the first qualifier of the season this year in the Open Connemara Class, then went on to win the HOYS Junior Large Breeds class twice.
At the Horse of the Year Show, Panda was crowned Connemara Pony of the Year winning the final with his 14 year old jockey.
Then went to win the open New Forest and Connemara class at heritage championships in the direct qualifier.
Produced this season entirely by his 14 year old rider Harlow White, Panda proves time and again just how genuine, easy, and willing he is. His versatility goes far beyond the show ring, from fun rides and beach rides to dressage, hacking, eventing and working Hunter, and even jumping at home with a younger sibling. Panda truly does everything asked of him.
A pony with a golden heart, a brilliant attitude, and exceptional talent, Panda brings joy to Harlow every single day. An outstanding season for an outstanding pony.
