Speaking after the competition Performance Manager Richard Waygood said: “It’s quite hard to take in, really – what a monumental achievement. To have come home with four medals off the back of such a successful Olympics is hard to put into words. The performances were solid throughout and it’s a staggering achievement for our entire squad. I’d like to say a big thank you to the support team, who work so hard to ensure our athletes and horses can peak at the right moment. A podium result doesn’t happen in four days of competition, but in the months and years of training and preparation that come beforehand. None of this would be possible without the continued support of our owners, the belief they have in our athletes and the trust they put in us. It was great to have so many of them out here in Avenches to support us, especially when opportunities to watch their horses compete have been so few and far between in the last year or so.”
Congratulations to the team!
