Waiting Home was the most acclaimed horse that Peggy Augustus rode during her competitive years. The chestnut Thoroughbred excelled in hunter shows, where horses are judged on manners, temperament, movement, and the elegance of their jumping style. With Augustus in the saddle, Waiting Home secured the championship at Devon three times in the 1950s, earning permanent possession of The Greenway Challenge Trophy. Over the course of their partnership, the pair dominated the hunter circuit, winning numerous titles, and in one remarkable season, retiring five separate challenge trophies.

Very good condition, light scratches to the bowls interior.
