Canterbury Secondary Schools Dressage 2016

Mary Russell —

Jessie Rhiana Irving and Fleur Carter-Hodder's first equestrian event shows there is a great future for equestrian sport at RHS.

Held on Wednesday 6 April at the McLeans Island Equestrian Centre, the girls were required to memorise two dressage tests each and ride in front of the judges, which can be very nerve-wracking. A test shows the intricate connection between the horse and rider and the day showed how much our girls love their sport and truly care for their horses.

As the proud manager, I am so excited to see what the next few years bring, as these girls are still juniors.
