PONY TEAM PERFORM IN HAGEN

Great Britain’s Pony Team came second in their Nations Cup at Hagen, Germany on Friday (17^th June) under the guidance of Claire Whitaker who accompanied them as Chef d’Equipe.

With nine teams competing, the battle for first place was fierce and the team of four riders for Great Britain came out fighting. With both Graham Babes and Amy Inglis putting in foot perfect clear rounds followed by Emily Roe and Christie Pritchard finishing on four faults and eight faults respectively, Great Britain at the halfway mark were in the lead with a fence in hand above France and two above Ireland.

The second round saw changes to the placings with a surprise elimination on both our own team (Christie Prichard) and the French team and with Ireland putting in three clear rounds they moved up into the top spot. The three remaining team members on the British Team saw the last to go Amy Inglis prove to be the consistent performer that she is by delivering a double clear (one of only two in the competition) leaving us to carry twelve faults accumulated by Emily Roe (eight faults) and Graham Babes (four faults).
