The Hastings rider figures he was probably “10 or so” when he first rode in Gisborne and he’s been a loyal supporter of both the A&P shows and Larsen Sawmilling Jumping and Show Hunter Championships ever since. He’s here again this year with his fiancee Tasha Brown, who has also won many ribbons here, and 14-month-old son Charlie. “I’ve certainly had a lot of good times here,” Ashley says. He and his father Graeme own Fernhill Stud, one of New Zealand’s oldest sport- horse breeding operations.
