A New Forest pony born and bred in Queensbury represented the British New Forest Pony Breed Society with distinction at the international Mare Show at Ermelo in Holland.
Highfox Forever, a ten-year-old mare, bred by Queensbury-based Paul and Diane Hadwen was the only pony awarded a mark of ten out of ten by judges. This was for breed type and she went on to become champion in the Best Type in Show' category.
The win was quite a surprise for her owners, as Forever had come out of semi-retirement to deputise for her full sister Highfox Evensong, who was sidelined due to a minor injury.
