Beth Irwin came 2nd in Para National Championships

Beth achieved 2nd in the Nationals in the Junior competition with a score of 64.2% and was only beaten by Stephen Wagland from the South Bucks RDA group on Forester who performed a stunning test and achieved 71%.  Both these juniors achieved percentages that placed them 1st and 3rd in the overall class category which included over 20 adults.  So well done the Juniors for achieving such stunning results and thanks again to our trusty steed 'Flash' for taking such good care of Beth in the scary and complex surroundings of a major competitions.  WELL Done both of you.

Mike Myers team member for Great Britain

Two Cumbrian riders Mike Myers and Anthea Kendrick travelled out to Germany to compete at the World TREC Championships. Thirteen countries sent teams with over 100 riders competing.  The five Senior team members put up a good show with Jenny Free riding her Arab mare managing to achieve second on the POR phase of the competition but was unfortunately outclassed by the French riders on the PTV and control of paces sections bringing the team result down to sixth out of the thirteen countries.

The next big championships is the European Championships in eighteen months time.  So watch this space to see if we can do better.

'Dark Legend' known as 'Trigger' on the yard was superb and travelled the distance extremely well even on the return journey,  when the sea was beginning to become a little choppy.
