You could say that the equestrian future's looking rosy for Wickford schoolgirl Heather Pearce.
Big day - for Heather Pearce and Rosie Picture: ROB BROWNE
For Heather and her 11-year-old pony Rosie, who she's owned for seven years, were members of the English team that won the Pony Club Mounted Games at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.
In the home international event, England were up against Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and it was the first English success since 1993.
Heather was part of a five-strong team which pulled off the biggest success yet of her show-jumping career. She's a pupil at Wickford's Beauchamps School.
