CONGRATULATIONS to Beith’s Heather Wylie and her pony Silly who represented Scotland at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.

Heather, of Wester Highgate Farm, was selected to take part in the Pony Club Mounted Games Home International Competition against teams from England, Wales and Ireland.

Heather is an S3 pupil at Garnock Community Campus and after a week of nail biting competition along with team mates Georgia Brown, Amy Bryce, Ruth Haddow, Emily Black and Katie Frame, trained by Laura Jack earned the title of Reserve Champions only 11 points behind a strong English team.

HRH Prince Philip presented the prizes, with HRH The Queen looking on from the Royal Box. Heather is a member of Eglinton Hunt Pony Club.
