Horse & Hound – 28th December 2025
Rachel Proudley repeated her win from 2024 in the London Horse Show puissance tonight – and went higher than she and class specialist Easy Boy De Laubry Z have ever jumped before when they cleared 2.21m (7ft 3in).
“He’s so brave. I can trust him so much and I think that’s all that matters, really,” said Britain’s 20-year-old young rider European champion after winning the LeMieux-sponsored class. “I didn’t have to put too much pressure on him and he was actually a little bit brave in the first few rounds. In the last round, he really listened to me and and that was definitely his best round.”
This was the pair’s sixth outright or shared puissance win, including starting the trend here last year.
“When you go in, you can’t even see over the wall, but when you’re sat on a horse like him, you feel like you could jump anything. That was our biggest jump yet there tonight and to be honest, it felt easy,” Rachel said.
It may have been easy for Rachel and Graham Ward’s 11-year-old, but the class had plenty of drama.
