IT happened to be the coldest weekend of the year so far, raining and snowing in some areas, but the riders of George Borcherds stables braved the icy weather to reign victorious on September 8, at the Somerset East Horse Show, once again.
Even with the rain pouring down the whole of Saturday, they endured and Rouxlé Ferreira was placed first in both the u.8 walk trot performance and u.8 walk trot equitation.
Gabrielle Hall was placed first in the u.10 pleasure horse walk trot performance and u.10 pleasure horse equitation.
Louw Borcherds was rated first in both the u.10 children’s riding horse performance and u.10 children’s riding horse equitation.
Wilana Wolfaardt achieved a first place in the three gated championship natural main and tail and second in the five gated natural main and tail championship.
Izabeth Smit received two first places and three second places. These young riders are proudly trained by Riekie Engelbrecht and her talent speaks for itself with these placements.
