Pascal in France
Friday, June 4th, 2010Samantha and Spring Pascal have made their second trip abroad. This time they are competing in the junior British Team and as an individual in the CDI, Compiegne, France.
Their journey out was uneventful this time and all is running smoothly with Pascal taking it all in his stride.
Today, Friday, Samantha came 3rd as an individual in the CDI Junior and was the highest placed British rider. Pascal went beautifully, but the pair made one small mistake and had one canter stride on a trot circle, this finished them on 66%. A fantastic result, we are all so pleased back home!
