Local student Liam Wrobel has qualified for HOYS Culcheth High School student Liam Wrobel riding Greenholme Jake his lovely fell pony. Won their HOYS ticket in the Working Pony Class in the SEIB Search for a Star on 1st August 2024 and will compete at HOYS NEC Arena in Birmingham on the 10th October 2024.They've been together for 16 months now . Liam has had a terrific journey with Jake and they have a great bond! Liam's done all the training with Jake and was overwhelmed by The judge’s Alan MickIeburgh and Terry Chalmers comments that “Jake is balanced, correct and steady over the jumps.” This is an open age class so remarkable for a slight 14 year old!

Later in the day they also won the Mountain and Moorland class qualifying them for Your Horse Live, judged by Louise Gaunt (shown below with Liam) We look forward to hearing more from Liam and Jake.

True Entrepreneurship Ciaran Dunn, Finlay Lewis and Mason Pearson kept themselves busy over the school holidays. The three boys set about washing cars and were quickly a hit with great reviews all over Facebook. The local community have been so supportive to them, donating equipment , business cards and publicising their efforts. They have set up an email address if anyone would like to enquire about car washing.
