YOUNG Barnton rider Victoria-Louise Davis has enjoyed a taste of glory on the international stage.

The 10-year-old, who lives in Goodwood Close, was a member of the England team which took first place at the Welsh Home Pony International at Chepstow.

Victoria is pictured showing off her gold medal to Clr Mary Bowhay-Merritt, mayor of Vale Royal.

The young rider received a gold sponsorship award from the mayor at a council meeting last week when she presented a cheque for £165 to the mayor's charity, resulting from a sponsored ride.
