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 4^th 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.
