Our Lockdown Show Champion for June was Lizzie Rowley’s charismatic Highland mare.
‘Rhinns Point Iona, (Iona at home) is a cream dun seven year old highland mare, who lived on the Isle of Islay until January 2019. Iona is kindly loaned to us by Angela Monaghan Macleod. We previously brought her brother “Rhinns Point Domhnull Hendie” unseen from her in 2009 and had a successful showing career with him, with his highlights being 2nd at HOYS 2014 & 3rd in 2013. Iona lived out as a “nanny” as she looked after the youngsters and she has a really sweet nature. She is currently at Sarah Field’s yard as I’m having to “shield” due to covid 19. Sarah is introducing her to ridden life and Iona is taking to her new role under saddle really well. Sarah has done a fabulous job with Iona so far and thinks she shows great promise under saddle for her showing career. Sarah’s nickname for Iona is “ The GC” as she is Gemma Collins in highland form!’
