A pregnant Katie Laurie was cool as a cucumber today as she clinched her fifth Lady Rider of the Year title in Hastings today.

The 29-year-old guided Dunstan Springfield with a clear third round in a nail-biting jump off to re-establish herself as the equestrian to beat at the annual Farmlands Horse of the Year Show.

"It is such a relief to have a good round on him," said Laurie of the 2014 Olympic Cup winner, known affectionately as Bart.

Longburn rider Lucy Akers, on Tinapai was runner up on a balmy day at the Hawke's Bay Showgrounds during the Ultra Mox-sponsored class.

Thirty-five combinations started the first round with 26 - those with eight or fewer faults - coming back for the second round. Ten of those progressed with a clean slate.
