🏆This weekend’s competitions 🏆took .akiv to two fronts:
🇨🇳 Sichuan League, Yudong Station — Hopeway dominated, winning 3 of 5 courses and placings for all our riders
🇧🇪 Sentower Park, Belgium — our Hong Kong rider competed for the first time outside the 🇭🇰 Hong Kong bubble in Europe, riding two horses and delivering 3 of 4 clear rounds.
None of this would have been possible without our head trainer, Stelios Stavroulakis. 🤩💪
He is the driving force behind the team — managing the programme, designing and delivering the training, organising the riders and horses, and, above all, inspiring every rider to raise their level. He pushes them beyond what they already know and beyond their comfort zone, teaching them to ask for more, aim higher and chase bigger dreams. His leadership and standards were behind both our team’s dominance in China and our rider’s confident first European outing in Belgium.
🇨🇳Second day of the Sichuan league Yudong station:
🏅4th place for Ray and Charles at the 1.20 class.
🏆Aisin ( coache’s Lin rider) 0.80cm

🇧🇪Shaun competed with two horses , Carlina and Toulouse riding clear three out of four classes up to 1.10 in competitive rounds against more than 70 riders .
Proud of every rider, horse, Happy for Coach Lin 🇨🇳, thankful to Coach Frankie and Steffie 🇧🇪and respectful of every team member who made this weekend possible.
Onward and upward. ✨
