Seb Selected to Represent Great Britain

Seb (Year 8), aged 13, has only been riding for three years but is already making an impressive mark in the dressage arena.

Riding with the support of Charlotte Lutener’s under-25 European Championship bronze medallist, Full Fusion BS, Seb has quickly begun to build a strong record. Most recently, he partnered with his new horse, Flo, for their very first outing together. What was intended as a valuable experience turned into an outstanding success, with two major wins:

• FEI Children on Horses Team Test – 1st (74.8%)
• FEI Children Individual Test – 1st (81.28%)

With an international qualification benchmark of 68%, Seb comfortably exceeded expectations. His riding score of 9.5 (out of 10), alongside a technical score of 70.56%, secured direct qualification for both the European and International Championships, to be held in July in the Czech Republic. This result is particularly remarkable given it was not only their first Premier League competition, but also their first competitive outing together.

Seb continued this momentum at the Addington Premier League show, delivering another set of excellent performances:

• Children on Horses Team Test – 1st (72.7%)
• Children on Horses Individual Test – 1st (77%)

In recognition of his achievements, Seb has now been selected to represent Great Britain at his first international competition —the Hickstead CDI in May.

This is an exceptional accomplishment in his first competition season, and we are incredibly proud of the dedication and hard work he has shown.
