A PROUD but shocked Jessica Cudden was singled out for honours in front of Badminton House last Sunday morning on completion of the trot-up.

The 22-year-old, who groomed for Badminton first-timer Ciaran Glynn, was announced as winner of the Treehouse Sporting Colours prize for the groom who put in the most effort towards the care of their horse (in this case November Night) over the week. Jess was chosen as recipient of the award by the chief stable manager, Margaret Hopkins.
