Likits were delighted to sponsor up and coming dressage talent Joanna Barry at the recent Winter Championships in Hartpury, UK.  Joanna (25), based in Kirk Newton near Edinburgh was a formal headgirl for Carl Hester and now regularly takes advantage of training sessions on her own mounts.

At the Winter Championships Joanna and her horse Rupert (Waratah IV) scooped 1st place in the Novice Freestyle and also secured 4th Place in the Novice Open, a tremendous achievement for such a young horse (he is only rising 5)!  Her other ride Freddie (Vivaldi) is sadly out of action at the moment but will be back on the circuit soon.  Until then Joanna has been keeping him entertained with his new Tongue Twister, "Freddie thinks they (Likits) equal get well grapes!"
 
We would like to wish Joanna all the best for the rest of the year and wish Freddie a speedy recovery.
