Emily McMaster on Onetai Cover Girl were victorious in the Big on Writing Pony Equitation Series.  “I am just so stoked,” says the 16-year-old from Greytown. “We’ve had a great season and I think having some really good coaching really helped too. I was determined to do well in the series.” 

She’s trained by fellow show hunter competitors Becs Conole and Ginny Thurston.

“I’ve been doing show hunter around two-and-a-half years now and love that it is a great way to learn to ride properly, to see a stride and really come together as a combination.”

She and Tully (Onetai Cover Girl) had jelled immediately. “She is a very kind pony who tries so hard.”

The combo had nine wins in the equitation this season. “To win is pretty special – it is a goal I have had for a long time so amazing to achieve that.”   At the Trust House Glistening Waters ESNZ Series Final Show she and Tully won the pony rider equitation grand final.

Emily, a year 12 student at St Matthews College, has just one more season on ponies ahead of her.
