An equestrian enthusiast from Redbourn achieved success at the Horse of the Year Show.

Sarah Moreland, who is the executive director of the Hertfordshire Agricultural Society and Showground, celebrated success at the prestigious event last week.

Competing in the Ladies Side Saddle and Lightweight Hunter classes, she secured impressive results despite a demanding professional career.

She said: "It's all about careful time management and dedication.

She credits the support of her team at the Hertfordshire County Show office and trustee for helping her to juggle both worlds.

She said: "I'm fortunate to have a job that allows for some flexibility, enabling me to dedicate time to training and competing at top-level events like HOYS.

"But that also means making sure I clock in the necessary hours at work to deliver results."
