TWO talented horse riders from the region claimed victory at the British Dressage Northern Regional Championships.

Healing's Lara Dyson and Caistor's Katy Hurst won the medium and elementary sections respectively in the event at Frys, near Driffield.

Victory means the pair will both compete in the Dressage Deluxe National Dressage Championships, held next month at Stoneleigh Park, Kenilworth.

Dyson, pictured, – who is in contention for a place on the British Equestrian Federation's World Class Dressage Equine Pathway Programme – is now back-to-back regional champion.

Last year she finished ninth in the nationals on her horse Cyden Perplex.

Hurst also has previously tasted high-level competition in the saddle: in April she took part in the Mitsubishi Motors Grass Roots Competition – part of the Badminton International Horse trials.
