Helen Forster, an amateur rider from Binley Woods, Coventry, has qualified for the prestigious Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) in Birmingham this October. She and her horse, HS Queen Bea, secured their spot by winning the competitive working horse class at the Search for a Star qualifier held at the Wiltshire Horse Show.

Forster expressed her gratitude and excitement, reflecting on a previous attempt three years ago with her late horse Greannanstown Jackpot. She feels fortunate to have Queen Bea and is thrilled to be competing at the HOYS arena at the NEC in Birmingham.
