Young rider Karina de Gonville Morrison's new pony Golden Dream lived up to its name when the pair qualified for an international dressage competition.

Karina, 13, is the only child and Golden Dream the only pony among 15 horses from the UK to qualify for the prestigious International Young Horse Championships.

The championships, sponsored by Shearwater Insurance, take place on July 28 and 29 at Hickstead in Sussex. Karina, of Sandford St Martin, won the qualifier at Solihull.
