Georgie wins top honours at Olympia

Steyning show jumper Georgie Strutton is looking ahead to a bright future this season. She ended 2005 on a prestigious note when she took the Young Show Jumper of the Year title at the Olympia Horse Show in London.

Georgie (19) had qualified for the event with seven-year-old mare Little Lefanie, owned by Old Lodge Stud. Their outstanding performance earned Georgie the most prestigious victory of her show jumping career so far.

Little Lefanie, a daughter of Indoctor, has been with Georgie since May. She won the seven-year-old breeding championship at Addington and also the title Best British Bred. The mare, who is only 15.2hh narrowly missed out on the Foxhunter final at Wembley.
