Gina Kobbe comparte sus perspectivas como jueza en el Royal Windsor Horse Show

Gina Kobbe es una de los dos jueces encargados de la sección de ponis de exhibición en la edición de este año del Royal Windsor Horse Show. Ella evaluará el desempeño, mientras que Pam Prickett valorará la conformación física.

Gina Kobbe aporta toda una vida de experiencia ecuestre a su labor en el Royal Windsor Horse Show. Su primer contacto con los caballos se produjo en junio de 1959, cuando su padre, que era minero, la llevó a montar ponis de mina. Aquellas primeras visitas despertaron una pasión que creció gracias a la participación familiar en exhibiciones y en las actividades del Pony Club junto a sus hijas, Iona y Yasmin.
