A very special and rather emotional time in the presentation ceremony on Thursday was the Briana Judge award (above). Briana, an accomplished rider, tragically lost her life while in Dubai early in 2003. She was an active Pony Club and EFA rider and loved training dressage horses. Briana was a member of the Gisborne Pony Club and also won many EFA events up toMedium and Advanced. Briana's parents have donated a perpetual trophy for the highest placed rider who is a joint Pony Club and EFA member. Due to difficulties with the photo opportunity they are pictured with the 2005 winner Rebecca Woff on the left and on the final day of the 2006 competition the current winner Stephanie Barrell was honoured with the Briana Judge award and below she is pictured thanking all for the opportunity to win this event. What a lovely and meaningful way to remember their wonderful daughter. |
