The 78-year-old was presented with the prestigious Show Legend Award at the 155th Canterbury A&P Show last week. “It was out of the blue that one and I was overwhelmed by the recognition, It seemed all my family knew it was coming but not me.” she said. Mrs Hill began her association with the show when she first competed in
the equestrian section as a 12-year-old. For the last 20 years she has helped organise the programme for the Horse and Pony Section at the Canterbury A&P Show as a member of the Horse Committee. She said she has had a lifelong love of horses. “It first started when my parents bought me a rocking horse when I was
five years old. I think they thought it would satisfy me but it didn’t. “When I was about 12 I went to stay with my sister and her husband in Geraldine when my parents travelled overseas.
