I am over the moon, to have be selected with Grand Manoeuvre “Milo” to represent Team GBR at Senior European Championships. “Milo” was so brilliant at Barbury and it is great to have the partnership we have developed together rewarded by being selected. This is the first time I have been to a home Championship so it’s really exciting to be going back to Blair, I went there for the first time last year (with Milo in the CIC) where I was blown away by the beauty.
“I have to thank Nick Gauntlett for producing him to this level he has done an amazing job on him; I now feel that the effort I have put in to building the relationship with this horses is paying off and hopefully it’s onwards and upwards from here
“His owner (Diana Chappell) has said her dream was to go to Blair this year; I have been trying to maintain that we need to just take things as they come because there are a lot of good horses out there, so she is absolutely delighted that we have been selected.”
A huge THANK YOU to Diana Chappell who owns Milo. I am very proud to join Team GBR & very grateful to the World Class Programme & UK Sport National Lottery funding who make this all possible. #makingdreamscometrue
