Callow Park College Student, Philippa put in a strong performance at the 2008 (RDA) Riding for the Disabled Association Championships held at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire.

Philippa rode confidently in the more difficult canter test and was rewarded with an excellent second place in the junior section. Philippa lives in Worcester and is a member of the RDA's Leominster Group where she has been coached by dresage instructor, Sue Adams-Wheeler for the past 5 years.

Riding 'Roman Star', Philippa qualified for the national competition earlier this year, winning her class at the RDA's West Midlands regional event. Philippas' Mum said 'Philippa's riding has been transformed since she has been working with Sue. Her confidence has grown enormously and her excellent result this weekend is testament to the hard work she, and Sue, have put in over the years.
