HELP name this future star of the dressage world and you could gallop away with some top prizes!

Amy Woodhead, 20, who represents Great Britain in young riders' dressage competitions, has imported a 17hh dark bay gelding from Holland.

The three-year-old horse has been nicknamed Steve, because his sire is called Spielberg, but is now in need of a proper name.

So Amy, who is based at Grimsby's Weelsby Park Riding School, is appealing to Grimsby Telegraph readers to help her.

She said: "His show name is DHI Dreamworks and his father is called Spielberg, so something with a movie theme could be a good idea.

"He's a very handsome horse and has a very promising future so it needs to be something fitting. I'd also prefer a one-word name."

The Dutch warmblood was hand-picked by Amy's father, Ian, an international dressage trainer.

Steve will train to replace her current dressage horse, Pardon, who is currently competing at Grand Prix level.

Amy, who joined Pony Club when she was just four and first represented the country when she was 13, added: "Fashions change in the dressage world and the current trend is for tall, elegant, leggy horses, so he should do well.

"I had hoped to start competing with Steve earlier but Pardon and I are representing Great Britain in France at the start of March so his debut will have to be delayed."

If you can think of a suitable name for Steve then you could win a tour of the stables at Weelsby Park Riding School with Amy and a free riding lesson.

Send your name suggestions, along with your name, address and contact number, to Laura Stuart-Cook, 80 Cleethorpe Road, Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire, DN31 3EH or e-mail the details to laura.stuart-cook@gsmg.co.uk with "Horse competition" in the subject bar. The closing date for entries is midnight on Friday, February 1.
