11-year-old Ellie Jolleys took part in the team event at Necarne Castle for under 25s with 10 teams from England, Scotland, Northern Ireland the Republic of Ireland and Wales.
The North West was the largest of the six regions in England, extending from Worcestershire up to the Scottish Borders.
It was a huge honour for Ellie to be selected, as the teams consisted of just three or four riders, a child between the age of 12 and 16 on a pony, a junior between the age of 14 and 16 on a horse and a young rider, a person between 18 and 25. The competitors rode four 'tests' over the two days, each one different and the scores were added together.
The North West team of Samantha Morrison, Katie Hughes, Amber Taylor and Ellie won the competition. Ellie and her pony Helmeast, a 14 hand chestnut part-bred Arab were chosen for the team, despite Ellie being only 11.
She has been competing her two ponies at affiliated dressage competitions for some time now and has qualified Helmeast for the British Dressage Regional competition in August by winning two competitions competing against adults.
Her mum, and trainer, Gill says: "She has always had wonderful ponies to ride, being the youngest of four children who all ride, she inherited her first and second ponies, Bambi and Summer from her older siblings.
"She then went on to Arnie, otherwise known as Tadegavwill Crazy Days, a pony who needed a year of quiet training to build his confidence and make him rideable. "He was the making of Ellie as a rider as she had to ride with the upmost sensitivity and gentleness and understand the pony's mind, a skill that requires a great deal of natural feel and talent.''
With Arnie and Zak (Helmeast] - who was bought for Ellie in September - she has plenty to keep her busy riding at home every day at her parents stud farm in Barnacre where they breed and produce dressage ponies.
As well as Gill assistance she is also helped by David Lannan and Janet Horswill.Gill says: "We do work very well together and never fall out as I am in awe of her talent and do not push her, she pushes herself hard enough.
"When she competes she is seeking her personal best and is not trying to beat others. She lives for her ponies and looks after them herself.''
In September Ellie will be going to Kirkham Grammar School but stilm intends to keep up her riding.
Gill continued: "The beautiful thing about dressage is that it is for life, it is artistic and therefore is never ending. Ellie has got off to a great start.''
