Point Two Equine to sponsor Spinal Research Stand and Be Counted appeal
11 March 10
Last year’s Stand and Be Counted appeal raised over £30,000 and has seen fantastic support from the BEF (British Equestrian Federation) as well as a number of Britain’s top riders from all disciplines. This year Point Two Equine will be sponsoring the appeal in a number of ways including awarding a sponsorship bursary of £200 to a para-rider who has a spinal injury. Grade 1B dressage para-rider Susanna Wade is a recipient of this year’s bursary which can be used towards her training with her horse Lambrusco who are aiming for London 2012. Susanna was involved in a horrific car accident in 1991 but through sheer determination and medical support she has now regained enough strength, balance and stability to be able to ride a horse again.
