Chique and
Lily are in the
Picture!
HOYS qualified show horse, Chique
and her right hand companion, Lily
have been in the picture lately after
modelling the exciting new range of
KTY 5 A-Day rugs.
Unable to keep the dynamic duo apart,
the inseparable pair appeared together
during the photo-shoot at show rider
and producer, Sarah Ambler’s yard
near Halifax.
A highly successful Small Riding Horse,
Chique was chosen as the perfect
model for the KTY 5 A-Day rugs
which are proving a big hit from the
equestrian.com stable.
But the photo-shoot couldn’t happen
without her larger than life side kick,
Lily who would sleep in the same
stable if she could.
Said Sarah: “When we first got Chique
she had never really been out in a
field and would panic without another
horse or pony, so Lily became her soul
46

mate and now they go everywhere
together.
“Lily arrived as a gift from a friend, but
at the time she had laminitis and then
managed to get colic and we thought
we were going to lose her. We called
the vet and fortunately she pulled
through, she is such a star and great
fun to have around.
It was funny watching the two of them
on the photo-shoot and quite difficult
to get photographs of Chique on her
own.
When you are riding Chique in the
arena Lily is very happy to trot along
behind her and they would definitely
share a stable together if I let them.”
Now seven-years-old, Chique has
had a fantastic season in Small Riding
Horse classes winning at the North of
England Spring Show, Northern British
Show Horse Association Spring Show,
Lincolnshire Show, North of England
Summer Show, Aintree and also taking
second place at the Great Yorkshire
Show.
After the early spring season, Sarah
also had to undergo extensive knee
surgery so she is even more delighted

with their success.
Added Sarah: “Everyone really enjoyed
the KTY 5 A-Day photo-shoot with
Chique and Lily providing a lot of
entertainment at the same time.”
The KTY 5 A-Day range will certainly
help you to brighten up your horse or
ponies wardrobe this winter.
The new collection, aptly named ‘5
A-Day’, boasts some bright colour ways
including colours Apple and Grape
along with the more traditional Navy
