Sweet Victory for Cappuccino
Monday, 3 April 2017


The hard work has all paid off for Olivia Adams who with Sweet Cappuccino won the Aniwell Category C Show Hunter High Points Series.

The 13-year-old has had Bounce since she was four, and was over the moon to secure the series title.

The Christchurch teen said she focused on show hunter as the perfect platform to prepare the horse for showjumping next season.

“It has been a great way to get the pony going. We were second by a single point coming into today,” she said. “It is pretty special considering Bounce is a horse I have brought through myself. The hard work has paid off.”

Sadly, the series runner-up Libby Pop’s Gift, ridden by Claudia Thomas, died before the final show.
