Young Rider Qualifies for London International Horse Show Alongside Pony After Cancer Treatment and Colic Surgery

Young rider Dylan Ward has qualified for the London International Horse Show alongside his pony, McFlurry. The pair earned their ticket at just their second affiliated showing competition.

The duo will be competing in the British Show Pony Society performance pony not exceeding 148cm class. They secured their qualification in July, eight months after McFlurry underwent lifesaving colic surgery.

Ward was previously voted inspiration of the year at the 2023 Horse & Hound Awards following years of intensive cancer treatment.
