Organisers of the Royal Windsor Horse Show (13-17th May 09) have confirmed the full line-up of riders taking part in the brand new SEIB BHS TREC Pro-Am Challenge on Saturday 16th May.
Twelve riders will take on the challenge, which is sure to be a spectator hit as the very best riders in different disciplines pit their wits against one another. Who will win? Will it be one of our esteemed British professional riders or one of the experienced amateurs?
The final twelve includes representatives from the FEI disciplines of Dressage, Show Jumping and Eventing. For Dressage it’s Britain’s European hopeful Laura Bechtolsheimer and Spencer Wilton, National Dressage Champion 2007. Tim Stockdale and Robert Whitaker will be flying the flag for Show Jumpers, whilst Lucinda Green’s daughter Lissa and ex-Household Cavalry riding master Dickie Waygood make up the Eventing contingent. Popular celebrity horse trainer Kelly Marks and Para Dressage rider Alex McNamara will be showcasing their abilities. Accomplished riders Staff Corporal Rupert Hackman from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment and Captain Harry Wallace from the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery add to the line-up, and showing us all how it should be done are GB BHS TREC Team members Anna Weston and Anthea Kendrick.
