With
the London 2012 Olympics only
a matter of 4 years away, Equestrian Team GBR British chef d’Equipe
Derek Ricketts advised Justin to
show consistent performances in Grand Prix and Area Trials and gain
experience in International events.
In
October and November 2007, Justin took Derek Ricketts' advice and
competed in Portugal, France and Belgium finishing in the money at
every show. Subsequently he had a fantastic Gold Tour - Arezzo,
Tuscany - in April 2008 which led to Justin representing Great
Britain on the Nations Cup Team in Poland.
Maria
Clayton, Head of Communications at the British Show Jumping
Association said, “Attracting
new owners to our sport and adding depth in respect of horses being
produced is pivotal if we are to achieve our goals. The
welcome news of such a well established organization from the horse
racing environment bringing syndicate ownership of horses into show
jumping can only bode well for the future of our sport as a whole
and we are thrilled that Heart of the South identified our
discipline as the one they felt worthy aligning
with”.
