Competitors from as far afield as Aberdeen (Deveron branch) and Northern Ireland (East Antrim branch) qualified for and contested the inaugural 2022 Pony Club Search for a Star championships at Your Horse Live. The lead rein championship was won by seven-year-old North Warwickshire branch member, Emily Hiscox and her grey Welsh section A, Thistledown Elpaso (Elvis). Proving that age is no barrier in this competition, the pair went on to take the supreme Search for a Star Your Horse Live title.
