SW FEATURE Paul Cook In hindsight You’ve probably heard Paul Cook’s tones over the tannoy at your most recent BSPS show, but how much do you know about one of the society’s longest-standing committee members? Idon’t remember ever not riding or “That was my education, rather a lot of it – and that’s true – but I being involved with horses. I grew really - alongside excellent rarely judge a section too often, which I up on a big dealing yard where I’d think is important. I’ve been very lucky to ride anything. If something was good training from many be able to judge on so many occasions enough to show, I’d show it, or if it was top people” and, for me, the buzz remains the same. destined for another discipline, I’d give that a go – you could end up riding in to building quite a few working hunter From a small local show to RIHS, HOYS or the 14.2hh show ponies in the morning courses. Soon after, I took part in a judges the hunters at Great Yorkshire, I find it a then taking another pony around the competition – I think I was assessed by real privilege to be asked and I always say Foxhunters in the afternoon. It’s just Joan Gibson, Anne Hawkins and Joan Lee that if you don’t have the enthusiasm or what you did in those days. We saw Smith – which I won. That’s how I got into feel the honour to judge at a show, you and had lots of horses over the years, so judging. I initially started with the BSPS, shouldn’t be there. good conformation, type and qualities and then I was asked to join the hunter that helped keep a horse sound long panel and got involved in ride judging. I’ve been so lucky to have judged and term became ingrained from an early From there you got invited onto various ridden some of the nicest horses on the age. That was my education, really – other panels and now I’m involved with circuit, so it’s hard to call to mind any that alongside excellent training from many virtually all of them. At a later stage, I have stood out any more than others top people. was asked by Alan Hall – who was then – but sometimes it’s as much about the BSPS Chairman – if I’d like to be on the occasion as it is the horses forward. It was the summer of ’76 that I got more the council. I took over chairman of the The international must be a highlight, involved with showing. I had a bad fall judges’ assessment committee soon but I can recall one particular year from a horse who basically buried me, after, a few years ago. when I was judging alongside Richard and I started helping my younger sister, Bowers. He was not only a wonderful who had a string of show ponies and Judging is something I’m really human being but a completely working hunter ponies. Because I’d passionate about. People think I do knowledgeable judge with his racing and evented to a decent level, I got roped in breeding background. We had a lovely middleweight hunter called Sunday Best ©Equinational come forward, who I believe also went champion that year, and gave a ride like Caris Lhee Shodown, Alice’s coloured plaited pony no other. I can still remember now how beautiful he was to ride God knows how many years later! In 2011 I judged hunters at HOYS alongside Sue Rawding – what she doesn’t know about hunters isn’t worth knowing – and we were presented with some of the highest quality animals we could have wished for. The middleweight, Oathill Take the Biscuit, won the hunter championship and that, again, was a beautiful horse to ride. But it was the occasion that made it so memorable – having such a knowledgeable co- judge was invaluable and it was a year of brilliantly talented young riders! As I recall, it was Danielle Heath’s first HOYS win, while Pearl Underwood’s Loch Royal won the lightweights with Leon King and Oliver Hood won the heavyweights on Act Flyn Lad. It made the day very special and memorable for me, and hopefully for those that won as well. 18 showingworldonline.co.uk

FEATURE SW The pony that’s stood out Showing is something I’m so grateful I could pass on to my daughters. They both competed through the levels and rode at the big championships on their ponies. Alice had a very successful plaited coloured pony, Caris Lhee Shodown, and their highlight was coming second at HOYS. However, the horse that’s stood out the most for our family is Millfields Sportsman. He was Lucy’s Connemara and he won virtually everything available to him. He was with us for 20 years, won the Royal Show three years running and the international a couple of times – and went to HOYS eight times! Then, he enjoyed a considerable amount of success through competing in the veteran classes, before we sadly lost him to colic in 2020. © Equinational for people of my generation round the Desert Orchid is to look back and say that a fantastic achievement – if Claire Oliver riding Sunday Best times were better, but we’re you were a professional rider, in a different world now! you’d probably want quite a Another standout was at the They were what one might There aren’t the safe roads lot of money to put a horse East of England in the big call ‘horsemen’ – riders with a for children to use and a lot round those types of course main ring.
