Our Adult's Team in Kenya




























Zambia sent an Adult's team to compete in Kenya earlier in the year. Horses were very kindly supplied by the Kenyans and the team, comprising of Paul Edgson, Lisa Swart and Alison Hawke (seen left to right with FEI International Judge and Course Designer Mary Binks), took part in both Dressage and Show Jumping events throughout the weekend.

The first event of the weekend was the Team and Individual Dressage in which our three riders came 2nd, 3rd and 4th individually, going on to win the Team Event for Zambia. Well done guys - obviously all that dressage training is paying off!

They then took part in the Team Show Jumping - sadly not as well placed as in the dressage but never-the-less putting up a good fight and making a good account of themselves as representatives for Zambia.

An enormous vote of thanks to the Kenya Horse Society for inviting us to take part and for looking after our competitors so well and also to the Kenyan riders and owners for their very generous loan of great horses for our riders to compete on.
