Laura Nicholson remporte le championnat de hacks du Royal Windsor 2026

Laura Nicholson et son hongre de 14 ans, Absolutely Lovely, ont remporté la victoire dans la catégorie des hacks amateurs ainsi que le titre global de champion lors du Royal Windsor Horse Show 2026. Ce succès représente la première réussite majeure de Nicholson dans un événement prestigieux de cette envergure.

Laura Nicholson a mené son propre cheval, Absolutely Lovely, surnommé Jim, à la première place de la catégorie amateur avant de décrocher le titre de champion. Le duo a su surmonter des difficultés passées, notamment une longue période de rééducation à la suite d'une opération chirurgicale. Nicholson a décrit cet accomplissement comme la réalisation d'un rêve après des années à accumuler des résultats lors d'événements tels que le Horse of the Year Show et le Royal International Horse Show.
