CHILDREN’S NATIONS CUP TEAM SECURE FIRST FOR GREAT BRITIAN

Consistent with previous years, the Children’s Nation Cup team won the day in Bonheiden, Belgium at the weekend (21st – 24th May 2010). Competing against other nations, our children’s team performed, showing not only talent but maturity beyond their years.

The four team members consisting of Christie Pritchard, Katie Robertson, Jake Saywell and Anna Wilks finished on a total score of 5 faults. Millie Allen who was the reserve also jumped the Nations Cup track and finished with a double clear.

Chef d’equipe Corinne Bracken commented  ‘The team were fantastic, the wonderful Belgian showground and big technical track was an experience that should stand them in good stead for their future careers’.
