“I’m so grateful for the support of my family and sponsors.”
Young equestrian talent Anya Dewey Clarke – daughter of Battles’ directors Anna and Richard Dewey Clarke - has enjoyed a winning year.
Earlier this month, the ten-year-old show jumper and show rider was handed the Junior Outstanding Contribution of the Year award by Showing World magazine.
This season, Anya has taken championship titles at HOYS, the Royal International and Pony of the Year Show.
She also became the only rider to hold the 128cm and 138cm British Showjumping national titles concurrently.
Anya has a 180,000 following on YouTube for her Train with Anya series in which she shares her lessons with famous trainers.
She says she was “absolutely amazed” to receive the Showing World award.
“We were away competing in Ireland, and flew back for a few hours for the ceremony - and I never expected this,” added Anya.
“I’m so grateful for the support of my family, trainers, sponsors and everyone who has helped me on this journey.”
Anya is certainly one to watch in 2026.
