February's Performance Award: CHAMBERLAIN Z, ANSGAR & ELLEN HOLTGERS & DAVID McPHERSON
Friday 04 March 2011
David McPherson from Maidstone, Kent and Chamberlain Z’s convincing victory in the opening Grand Prix at the Spanish Sunshine Tour has been voted ‘Performance of the Month’ for February.
David riding Ansgar and Ellen Holtgers’ eye-catching ten year-old grey gelding Chamberlain Z, were one of only three combinations from fifty-one starters to produce two foot perfect rounds, taking victory from fellow Brit Robert Whitaker by almost three seconds.
The Performance of the Month Award is an amalgamation of the former Showjumper and Owner of the Month Awards, and recognises the achievements of not just our riders, but our horses and owners too.
Chairman of British Showjumping’s International Committee Clare Whitaker commented:
“It gives me great pleasure to award the February Performance of the Month to Chamberlain Z, Ansgar and Ellen Holtgers, and David McPherson, for their fantastic win in the Sunshine Tour Grand Prix. My congratulations go to them and their hard working Team”.
Patrick Riley of Zamar TTT, sponsors of the Performance Award said:
“A super fast double clear ended in triumph for David McPherson and Chamberlain Z. Congratulations to them both and to Ellen and Ansgar Holtgers for this superb performance”.
