🇿🇼👏🏼

The @africa_shield.2024 Team Zimbabwe! “We had a great trip the the Africa Shield 2024 that was held at Reitsportzentrum Kapp in Windhoek, Namibia. We would like to thank the Namibian Equestrian Federation for putting on a top class event, amazing hospitality, being so friendly and accommodating! The tour was lots of fun and a wonderful experience for us all. All the girls were amazing and rode so well on difficult, unpredictable horses. They all dealt well with the challenge showing great sportsmanship.” - @becky.chant.22 , Chef d’Equip @bridget.stidolph @jorja_johnsen @sisipage_eq

Well done to Namibian Equestrian Federation/NAMEF for organizing such a prestigious event!🇳🇦👏🏼
