Success for Georgina
GEORGINA Gibbs and her husband Martin bought Tiffany five years ago and keep her at Ebborlands Riding Centre, Wookey Hole, where Georgina works. Tiffany immediately showed a talent for dressage. They competed unaffiliated and had some success competing at The Royal Windsor Horse Show and at the Badminton dressage Championships in 2013. Jennifer Ham, Georgina’s instructor, persuaded Georgina to become a member of British Dressage and compete at an affiliated level, which they did this year in June. In a short time they qualified for the area Pet Plan festival in October at Duchy College in Cornwall, along with 29 competitors in the Novice Restricted class. Georgina and Lover’s Tiff finished in fourth place and have qualified for the Pet Plan Area Festival Championships, which is to be held next year. Georgina said she would like to thank Jenny for all her help as they would not have achieved this without her.
