Gina Kobbe delar med sig av domarinsikter vid Royal Windsor Horse Show

Gina Kobbe är en av två domare för sektionen för showponnyer vid årets Royal Windsor Horse Show. Hon kommer att bedöma prestationen medan Pam Prickett utvärderar exteriören.

Gina Kobbe tillför en livstid av ridsportserfarenhet till sin roll vid Royal Windsor Horse Show. Hennes första möte med hästar skedde i juni 1959 när hennes far, som var gruvarbetare, tog med henne för att sitta på gruvponnyer. De tidiga besöken tände en passion som växte genom familjens engagemang i utställningar och aktiviteter inom Pony Club tillsammans med hennes döttrar Iona och Yasmin.
