HOLLY Smith took time out from her show jumping commitments at Hickstead to qualify Foxcovert Grey for Horse of the Year Show (HOYS), courtesy of a win in the Alltech open working hunter class.

Smith had already shown her rivals a clean pair of heels in the Bunn Leisure Tankard with Quality Old Joker and two days later they earned equal third, on four faults, in the Hickstead Derby itself.
