Ella Warren has been crowned the Macleay Sportsperson of the Month for May and received a $100 voucher to the Kempsey Macleay RSL Club restaurant for his efforts.

Ella and her pony Yogi (Kenda Park Strauss) were sashed champion small show Hunter Pony, champion owner rider small show Hunter Pony, champion first ridden show Hunter Pony and runner up child's small show Hunter Pony.

She said she owes a lot of her success to her coach, who also happens to be her Aunty.
This month, Ella also competed at the Lismore Hack Championship and Bellingen Show where she was awarded supreme open horse.
