IF England succeed this summer, the girls of Alder Root Riding School will be jumping for joy.

Because the horses at the farm, near Vulcan Village, will be wearing England colours throughout the tournament after their riders decorated them with special saddle rugs.

Sharon Dillon's daughter Jessica, aged 11, has been riding at the centre since she was aged three.

Her mum said this was a great way for her friends to show their support for England in time for the World Cup.

She said: "Jessica has had this horse for 12 months and she and her friends thought it was a great idea. They have bought England rugs for the horses. They look fantastic."
