Del and Precious Dreams on their way to a win at Tonimbuk
“Whether I get to ride 2, 3 or 4 Star on this mare, the great thing is that the bond will be there for Sophie (Bennett) when it’s time for her to take over the ride” says Del Ogilvy
Del Ogilvy is a household name in eventing in Victoria; now a coach for many young riders, Del has ridden at the very top level and it seems hasn’t entirely given up the dream of still being up there
At her local event, the Tonimbuk Horse Trials, Del won the EvA95 on Precious Dreams and she was thrilled to be back in the winner’s circle, not just for herself but for her partner’s daughter, Sophie Bennett. Young Sophie will take over the ride when the time is right but for now, at 58 years of age, Del is enjoying not just competing her new mare but also knowing that it is part of an ongoing plan for her family
