Lillian Reynolds and Willie Be Mine had great, consistent trips together in the Children’s Hunters and the pair came away Champion. Lillian and “Willie” teamed up mid-2018 and after a great rest of the 2018 season in the Pre-Children’s and Low Hunters, they moved up to the 3ft Children’s at the start of 2019.
