The girls will be riding in the 80cm Shield Team. Eventing is made up of three disciplines: Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country. It will be the second time that Tamara and Adrienne will be riding for South Africa as part of the Shield team.
“All four girls ride competitively on more than one horse and are extremely dedicated to all their horses and their sport, putting in many hours of training,” Michelle MacDonald-Hutcheson (instructor) said.
