Natasha Gibbons made it three titles in three consecutive years with her wonderful Penhaligon Soleilette (Freischutz x Soliman De Hus), returning to the championship podium in the HorseLight Medium Silver. From succeeding at Novice in 2024 and Elementary in 2025, today it was a step up to Medium level and a winning score of 73.565%. “It’s lovely,” Natasha smiled reflecting on her win, “I’m very excited. There’s a little bit of relief too because she’s won for the last two years. At some point the streak is going to end... but not this year! Their convincing test earned a host of eights, as well as a nine for medium canter. “She warmed up really calmy, she was a little tense when we arrived yesterday but she was super chilled this morning and then lit up again in the ring which was great.” “We brought her home at six months,” Natasha said of her now eight-year-old, having purchased her as a foal at the Elite Auction, “we’ve had her the whole way through and done it all ourselves. She's been great, she hasn’t had any obstacles – she's just found everything very easy.” Natasha admits her wonderful mare can be a little high maintenance, although remains a dream horse: “She’s lovely, a dream to have, we’re very very lucky.” Concluding about her future hopes, Natasha said: “She’s out at Advanced Medium, we’re hoping to do an Advanced in the summer, we’re starting to play with stuff. Hopefully [said with fingers crossed] by the end of the year, PSG! We’ve got some lovely music, but she gets very excited with the music... so we need to do some desensitising!”
