Equi-Trek Bramham
2015 Photo competition
proves to be a close call
for 2013 victor!

her picture would be donning the
front cover of next year’s Equi-Trek
Bramham International Horse Trials’
programme. “I’ve been coming with
my Mum for last four or five years,
and it’s an event that I absolutely love
- it will be so exciting to see my photo
on the front cover!”. The photo stars
Lincolnshire rider Alex Postolowsky,
riding the 17 year old Giorgione
gelding, Islanmore Ginger, who
finished 23rd in the British Equestrian
Trade Association CIC3* competition,
with a clear round across the country.
Runner up, Sara Reynard’s photo
was also taken at the Round House,
and is a very striking picture of Izzy
Taylor. There was a lot of deliberation
over these two photos, and “it was a
close run thing!” said Nick Pritchard.
“There has been a lot of head
scratching and mock ups done over
these two fabulous entries. I think it’s
the closest competition we’ve run”.
Ellie receives a pair of Season
Member’s badges for the 2016 Event.
Our Online Box Office will open
on 1st December 2015 at www.
bramham-horse.co.uk, with some
great savings to be had on tickets
booked in advance. With the Rio
Olympics taking place 6-9 August
2016, next year’s Bramham promises
to be as exciting as ever!

This year’s Equi-Trek Bramham
International Horse Trials Photo
Competition proved harder than ever
to judge, but, in the end there were
two clear favourites.
Ellie Parker, 19, from Elland, West
Yorkshire, emerged as our winner,
fractionally ahead of our 2013 victor
Sara Reynard, with a lovely action
photo taken at the third part of the
Equi-Trek Round House combination.
The well thought out picture, with
the Round House in the background
makes it unmistakably Bramham,
which is one of the main things judges
Nick Lane Fox, Nick Pritchard, Laura
Jennings, Jane Conyers and Louise
Gillett were looking for. 2015 is the
fourth consecutive year that Ellie
has entered the competition, and the
third year that one or more of her
photos have been selected into the
final judging. This year, all but one of
her eight entries made it to the final
judging – it seems it was only a matter
of time before she came out on top.
“I can’t believe it, that’s amazing”
Ellie said when she received the
phone call to let her know that
