The 10-year-old, who attends Harlescott Junior School in Shrewsbury and races with her own pony, Mr Jerry Himself, went home with a signed picture, a pair of the jockey’s racing goggles, and memories to last a lifetime. “She was really kind to me and honestly it was probably the best moment of my life - she gave me her goggles!”
“She is on a young pony and it is difficult for her as we can’t afford a racing pony. It is getting that message out there that you don’t need a racing pony to go out racing.10-year-old Lexi with a signed photo of her hero, Rachael Blackmore. Photo: Ryan Day Photography.
