Red Kite TREC Group

CONGRATULATIONS to the GB International Riders who have completed the world championships in Barcelona Spain this weekend!
All riders and horses did extremely well in the heat and terrain.
The horses are now on their way home to the UK, safe travels to the horses and riders.
The team, consisting of Kirsty Adams, Caroline Brammer and Kate Gillam (Redkite) came a very credible fifth overall. Hilary Bernard and Elen Rees took part in the veterans competition with Jacob Simpson representing the UK in the young riders category, all three coping well with the conditions.
All competitors were supported by amazing Chef D’Equipe Dot Still and a team of dedicated supporters 🇬🇧
