SUCCESS AT PETPLAN CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS

(BD Winter Championships)

Deborah Carr-Davidson has been delighted with her latest performances, most recently finishing joint 3rd in the PetPlan Area Festival Finals at the Britsh Dressage Winter Championships held in April at Hartbury in Gloucestershire.

Following her latest achievements, Deborah puts her success down to hard work, dedication and Sue Carson! 

"The challenge was to find a dressage saddle that was suitable for me as a petite lady without restricting the uphill paces of my large dutch warmblood gelding.  The answer was found with a Sue Carson close contact dressage saddle which has enabled me to maintain a balanced riding position and given more freedom for my gelding, Foxholm Rhapsody, to work over his back.  My thanks to Andrea Gray who took the time to match saddle to rider and horse.

"I am delighted to report the following results since purchasing this fantastic saddle in Dec 2007.
 February 2008 BD Regional Music Freestyle Medium Championship (7th)
 February 2008 Qualification for 2009 Regional Music Championship finals at Medium
 February 2008 Part Qualification for 2008 BD Summer Regional Championships at Medium Restricted
and most proud achievement ......April 2008 - PetPlan Area Festival Finals at BD Winter Championships at Hartpury, Glos - JOINT 3RD!"

Deborah went on to say "I am delighted with my new saddle and thrilled to have qualified for Trailblazer Dressage Nationals in August".  

Here is Rhaps doing his lap of honour.
