British
Horse Society selects teams for the Senior World and Young Rider
European TREC Championships
Libramont in Belgium, 5 - 7 September 2003. |
The
British Horse Society (BHS) is pleased to announce the teams to
represent Great Britain at the World TREC Championships and the
European Young Riders Championships, both of which take place in
Libramont, Belgium from 5-7 September. The Senior Team for the World
Championships will be Faye Hamilton (English & Scotshield GB
Champion 2003) on Amarylis, Ros Evans on Boco, Anthea Kendrick on
Larkswood Fantasia, Jane Willett on Italian Dancer, Nicola Ross-Watt
on Brenfield Ask and David Hay-Thorburn (Scottish & Welsh Champion
2003) on Brenfield Mhairi. Jennie Free travels as reserve rider.
The
Young Riders for the European Championships will be Kate Ellison
(Scottish, Welsh & British Champion 2003) on Spice of Life,
Lois Hamilton (English Champion 2003) on Corehouse Gypsophila, Lianna
Bourne on Sheba, Danielle Samuel on Stormhill Electra, Alex Wells
on Marquis of Gargunnock and Mark Logan on Brenfield Bragi.
Both
teams are supported for the second year by Ashby House (www.ashby-house.com
<http://www.ashby-house.com>) and BHS Trustees are supporting
the teams with a £6,000 travel grant from allocated funds.
The strong Scottish element in both the senior and young rider teams
reflect Scotland's success this year in all the domestic Championship
events, and in taking the BHS Nations Cup at Blair in August at
the Scotshield BHS TREC Championships of Great Britain.
Whilst
these Championships offer the Young Riders' Team their first taste
of international competition, the senior team represents a blending
of experience with former World Champion David Hay-Thorburn and
the core of the 2001 Silver Medal winning team being joined by some
exciting newcomers eager to test themselves against the World's
best.
"
I think we have two very able teams this year for the Championships
and we have a good track record in Belgium, having taken the Team
Silver in the World Championships and Young Riders Individual Silver
in Belgium in 2001. Both squads are brimming with confidence and
are keenly looking forward to testing themselves against our TREC
colleagues from other nations. We are also very grateful to Ashby
House for their continued support for our National Teams" said
BHS Head of Competitions and senior Chef d'Equipe, Rob Jones.
