Olympian Lyndal Oatley is back in the international competition arena for the first time in four years, and what a way to come back!
Lyndal and the striking grey Eros, or ‘Ross’ as he is known at home, placed 4th in the CDI3* Grand Prix at Vilhelmsborg (DEN) with a score of 70.957 today.
“My little unicorn Ross made his international debut today and I could not be more proud of him! He fought from start to finish and seemed very pleased with himself. He is only just starting to show what I know he will be able to do.
“With more time his strength, cadence and balance will improve but for this moment I could not be more proud of him” shares Lyndal.
Congratulations Lyndal, Ross and all their connections.
The competition continues tomorrow for the combination with the Grand Prix Special.
