Bob Cherry's Account of 'Village Life'
Bob Cherry's Account of 'Village Life' is divided into the sections below, some of which are quite large and may take a little while to load. It was recorded in 1992.
Horse Show Champion
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.
TRIUMPH AT THE HORSE OF THE YEAR SHOW A horse owned by Miss Rosamond Boughton of Ashendon Farm, Ashendon, this week captured one of the country’s top honours. On Tuesday ‘Makeway’ aged eight, was judged the Working Hunter of the Year at the Horse of the Year Show at Wembley. It was ridden by Mrs. Delia Ecob of North Marston. ‘Makeway’ won the class for small working hunters at Badminton earlier this year. Bucks Herald - October 1962
