MILLIE ALLEN AND TRUELEVA BRING HOME INDIVIDUAL SILVER FOR GREAT BRITAIN

 

Following on from their tremendous Team Gold win at the Children’s European Championships in Jardy (France), British Showjumping are thrilled to be announcing that thirteen year old Millie Allen from Stockton-On-Tee’s has, after a four-way jump off, also secured Great Britain an Individual Silver medal.
 

Riding Rachel Steel’s ten year old bay mare Trueleva, Millie and this super mare with whom she has such a great rapport produced two fantastic clear rounds in a time that was just one second  behind the French rider Tressy Muhr with Lord Du Valy who took Gold.

With the Bronze medal being awarded to Germany’s Celine Schradick and Contento, Great Britain were only just out of securing another medal as it was Nottingham based Jake Saywell with Cornelius 27 who took fourth place followed by fellow teams mate Katie Robertson with Cameron Poe and Christie Pritchard with Larkspur who finished in joint fifth with six other riders.

Corinne Bracken, Chef d’equipe and Team Coach for the Children, Junior & Young Rider squads commented “Millie was absolutely brilliant today. She rode two perfect rounds keeping her nerve at all times whilst showing grit and determination. The Individual Final’s were incredibly hard fought and I’m incredibly proud of Millie and her achievements.   To also have another three members of the squad just outside the medal position is not only extremely rewarding but also illustrates the talent we have coming through from such a very young age within our sport. The atmosphere out here has been amazing with everyone pulling together from the riders representing the three squads we have competing across the various age groups through to the family, friends and support crew and I would just like to thank everybody for their assistance and enthusiasm”.
