THE seven-year-old black mare, Acle Delma, maintained her unbeaten record for this season by taking the Shire horse championship for Yorkshire exhibitors Paul and Walter Bedford.
Runner-up in the Shire of the Year for the last two seasons, she has already taken the national championship this year.
Standing reserve was the winner of the brood mare class, T.J. Yates, from Belper, with his 10-year-old bay, Boyton Gold Bracelet.
The Clydesdale championship went to John and Jacqueline Adamson, from Stirling, with Hawkhill Katy, who was also a winner at the Royal Highland.
The couple inherited the seven-year-old bay mare, on the death of Tom Frew last year, and she is now in foal to their own stallion, Glenside Master Tom.
Rosemount Eilidh, owned by Paul and Walter Bedford, took reserve, having been second in the mare class to the champion.
