Ellen wowed the crowds as she entered the arena to huge cheers on the Saturday night for the ever popular Puissance. It was a tough class, with many of the riders staying in the competition until the fourth round.
Coping well with a very feisty Ladina B, Ellen kept her cool and was the only competitor to clear the wall at 7ft 1".
A delighted Ellen said afterwards:"I can't believe it. Ladina was on top form tonight. She was so excited to be out there, she was difficult to control at times but I knew I just had to keep her calm and sit deep, and she would do it."
But the show was far from over for Ellen. Returning to the arena on Kanselier on the Sunday, Ellen once again showed her true riding ability winning the Speed Horse of the Year. And just hours later she completed the treble by winning the prestigious Show Jumper of the Year title on Equimax Ocalado.
Following the show Ellen added: "I had a tough year last year and a lot of catching up to do this year but I finally feel like I'm getting back to where I was. All my horses will be back on form next year and I'm looking forward to hopefully having another successful season."
