AN INTERNATIONAL dressage rider and trainer who works in the Malmesbury area scooped up second place at a recent European Championships.
Sarah Stewart, who lives in Minchinhampton and runs a livery yard near Malmsbury, recently claimed second place at the European Iberian Dressage Championships at Exloo in Holland.
Held over 5 days October 23 - October 27 riders were competing from Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium and Holland.
Sarah was riding an eight year old Lusitano mare Minerva dos Rios owned by Tracy Davidson who also lives in Minchinhampton.
Riders complete two tests at their selected level - a pure dressage test and a freestyle to music where horses can really show off their moves.
