Click To EnlargeRoz Boughton “Triumph at the Horse of the Year Show”

In October 1962 an Ashendon bred horse won the Working Hunter of the Year at the Horse of the Year show at Wembley. ‘Makeway’ was bred by his owner Roz Boughton from a pony costing £25! Roz hunted him regularly with the Bicester Hunt and following his success at the Horse of the Year Show, Makeway went on to compete successfully as a Grade A showjumper. The Bucks Herald reported the Wembley triumph.
