Aachen Meydan FEI Nations Cup Team Announced
Wednesday 14 July 2010
The four riders who will represent Great Britain tomorrow in the Aachen Meydan FEI Nations Cup, are as follows.
David McPherson from Maidstone, Kent with his own 9 year old grey gelding Chamberlain Z. As a combination the pair made their debut in Rotterdam where the team finished second.
John Whitaker from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire with Rebecca Stones 13 year old bay stallion Peppermill. 2010 has seen Peppermill back on top form and competing at 3 of the Top Level Nations Cups.
Hampshire based Peter Charles with the 11 year old bay gelding Murka’s Pom d’Ami, who is jointly owned by Olga White and Team Murka Ltd. This combination started off the Meydan FEI Nations Cup Series by jumping double clear in La Baule and since then the pair have continued not to disappoint.
Scott Brash from Peebles, Scotland with his father’s (Stanley) 11 year old black gelding Intertoy Z. The pair made their debut at Top Level Nations Cup back in May this year jumping a foot perfect second round, proving they are a force to be reckoned with.
