LYONSHALL'S renowned harness racer Glyn Slade-Jones achieved a burning ambition when he rode his own horse to victory at a point-to-point meeting.

Slade-Jones took up pointing last year and achieved a win before his 40th birthday. His next aim was success on a horse of his own and this was achieved aboard Guignol Du Crochet at Sunday's Midlands Hunt Club meeting at Thorpe Lodge.
