JOHN Moorhouse's Picture This, ridden by Suzanne Eeles, qualified for the Mercedes-Benz national dressage championships at the northern regional championships held at Frys, East Yorkshire.

They qualified in both the prelim and the novice sections and Suzanne said the four-year-old Dutch sport horse was not at all bothered by the championship atmosphere.

He was bought in Holland as an unbroken three-year-old and brought over to the Moorhouse's Whispers Equestrian Centre at Whinney Hill, where Suzanne is a BHS intermediate instructor.

This is her first season competing in affiliated dressage as she normally rides show and working hunters and side saddle.

Picture This has already gained 31 points in a very limited affiliated dressage outing.
