Great
results for team GB at the CVI** in Holland.
The
British National anthem was played more often than any other nation’s
at the CVI** held at the new Dutch Equestrian Federation Centre
at Ermelo.
Joanne
Eccles was an outstanding senior Individual winner, placed above
the WEG silver medallist from Austria. Her younger sister Hannah
came through to take the Junior Individual gold medal, both on
W.H.Bentley lunged by John Eccles and Lucy Phillips the silver
on Nikita lunged by Rebecca Morgan.
The young team from Eagles Vaulting Group gained first place in
the Junior team class on a new vaulting horse, Fortuitous, lunged
by a first time International lunger, Kathryn Jeffress (Hunt).
The Junior team was sponsored by Ross Offshore.
There
were some excellent results for the rest of the Group, Ricky Davies
placed 4th in the Male Individual and Louise Sinclair 4th in the
Junior Individual, both on ILPH Islay lunged by Liz Mackay.
The
horse scores were published separately for each class and the
six British horses were all right up at the top of each class.
John Eccles’ W.H.Bentley was chosen as the best Individual
horse. We thank the BEF for the help and advice given to provide
the best conditions for travelling the horses abroad. They all
looked in great form and were a credit to GB. |
