Samantha and Pascal win at the Nationals!
Samantha and Spring Pascal have just won the Petplan Prix St Georges Championships at the Nationals. A very excited Diane just phoned with the news … more to follow.
From British Dressage website:
Petplan Equine Prix St Georges Area Festival Champion
Samantha Thurman-Baker with Spring Pascal, 66.84%
17 year old Samantha Thurman Baker from Henley on Thames shone through on her charismatic Cleveland Bay x Hanoverian gelding Spring Pascal to take the Petplan Equine Prix St Georges Area Festival Championship 2010.
“It was really good to win today” she commented “ we were third to go and I was really glad we held the lead until the end. Rolland Tong helped me work in, the first time he’s done this at a competition and I felt it helped a lot. Spring Pascal was a lot calmer in the test, there were a few mistakes but I was happy with his way of going.”
Samantha is on the Junior Prime squad and is aiming for selection for the Junior European Championships later this year.
Well done to both, congrats
That is fantastic news, so pleased for you all!! Congratulations
