Manx horse rider leading international horse trials

A Manx athlete has taken an early lead in the Blenheim Palace International Horse trials.

Yasmin Ingham is currently taking part in the event, which is the most important taking place in the UK since the pandemic, involving a world class field of riders including team GB's gold medal winning eventing team. 

She believes her horse, Banzai Du Loir, could be good enough to compete at the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.

Yasmin says it's going to be a hard job to stay at the top, and hopes she doesn't let her horse down, describing him as the most exciting horse she's ever had the privilege of riding.
