Huge congratulations to our sponsored rider Tina Fletcher, who won the Carpetright Derby at the Hickstead Derby Meet riding Promised Land. It was third time lucky for Tina, having come second on two previous occasions and she is the first woman to win the competition since 1973! Well done Tina and Promised Land, we are very proud of you both!
A gracious Tina was quoted to say, "I grew up watching Hickstead on TV, and it was always the biggest event of the year for me – all my life I have wanted to win it,” she said. “Promised Land is an unbelievably brave horse, but at home he lives out in the field and I hardly ride him,” she added.
