David Hodge & Julian Walters with their Dartmoor mare and foal
David Hodge and Julian Walters were presented with an Animalweb Good Horsemanship Award at the Royal Three Counties Show 2026 in recognition of their outstanding horsemanship and thoughtful handling of their beautiful Dartmoor mare and foal.
Throughout the event, David and Julian demonstrated excellent handling skills, patience and genuine empathy, always putting the welfare and comfort of both mare and foal first. Their calm, considerate approach and obvious understanding of the needs of youngstock and mares provided a wonderful example of horse-first horsemanship and partnership.
