fcathsallymarg.jpg (16589 bytes)Bradley Britton was named the Junior with the highest percentage for a Freestyle ride.  Bradley is a very dedicated rider who has been lucky enough to have the support of his family and a wonderful instructor in Catherine Shelley from the Melton Equestrian Academy.  He is riding Catherine's lovely thoroughbred gelding MEA Gordon.  Gordon is a half brother to the 'superstar' racehorse SUNLINE.

Bradley also receives huge support from Margaret Behan who co-ordinates the Melton RDA group.

Pictured right is Catherine Shelley (left) with Sally Frances (centre) and Margaret Behan (right)

Bradley works with horses riding track work for Melton based trainer Susan Ellis ... a former leading lady trainer in New Zealand.   Bradley then goes off to local harness racing stables and works horses.  He is an accomplished farrier and horse breaker.  Bradley rode Gordon very well and his, was a popular win.
