If there is one thing to know about Northland dressage rider Sarah Scott it is that she is going places.

The 13-year-old won all of her three classes, riding Thumberlina II aka Dinky, at the recent Horse of the Year show in Hawkes Bay.

Scott also won the prize for Pony of the Year at the event last month.

Scott competed in the Pony Dressage Level 1 at the Horse of the Year, riding an 8-year-old mare that was bred in Dargaville by Jean Jeffs.

Scott has been training Dinky for five months and won Champion Pony at the Northland Dressage Championships held at Barge Park in February.

The Horse of the Year was Scott's first national competition.

Also taking part in the event was former Northlander Anna McIntyre, now of Tauranga, who finished sixth in the Level 5 musical part of the dressage section.
