Paul Isaac and his cob Rockstar won the overall Search for a Star Championship today, making it a succesful HOYS debut for the pair. In reserve spot was Zoe Whittle and Mettlewood Mr Farenheit, who were the winners of the Riding Horse/Hack section.

We spoke to Paul after his win, and met the lovely Rockstar:

The Humdinger does it again

Carol Bardo's The Humdinger was back in the ribbons again today when he won the overall coloured horse and pony championship for the fourth year in a row. The gelding has been a prolific winner for Carol and rider Jayne Webber. James Munro and So Pretty were reserve. 

In the purebred ridden Arab championship, the title went to Maleikero and Andrea Boyle, with Silvern Prince and Darren Crowe in reserve. Broadgrove Showman and Rebecca Harvey won the Riding Pony of the Year title, while Hickstead supreme winners Poppy Carter and Rotherwood Rainmaker were the reserve champions.

First HOYS title for Homer

Loraine Homer had an emotional win on Friday evening when she won the Ladies Hunter of the Year title with Jonas O'Shannon. The daughter of showman David Tatlow, Loraine has competed at HOYS dozens of times and picked up many good results over the years, but this was her first championship title.

In the M&M supreme ridden title, the spoils went to Sarah Challinor and Pumphill Buckthorn. The Dartmoor stallion is having a brilliant 12 months, having won the NPS Supreme mountain and moorland title at Olympia in 2010.
