| Hutton, who has had the ride on Lady Evans’s nine-year-old 17.1hh German-bred gelding for two and a half years, said: “He was at elementary level when he came to us. It has been a team effort to get him to this level; I’ve had help from my mother [Pammy Hutton] and the World Class Programme. At Addington, Erik Theilgaard helped me to warm-up on the first day and told me to wrap my lower leg around him as he needs the support. It wasn’t easy and I was nearly in tears at the end of the walk during the test, but it was worth it as our scores kept going up over the next two days.” |
