Army Rider of the Year (Eventing):
Capt Mary Pearson
by Capt Karen Pettit
As the 2023 competition season draws to a close the Army Equitation Association held its annual awards on 21 September 2023. Following a masterclass with Harry Meade Eventing, another successful year for the Army Team was celebrated with a formal dinner night at RMAS, culminating with a series of awards. Here Capt Mary Pearson (RAVC) was awarded Army Rider of the Year (Eventing).
Despite her partner in crime Je Taime Fandango (Louie) undergoing surgery earlier in the year, Capt Pearson and Louie still managed to win the London International Horse Show qualifier in April and are currently working towards the show itself in December 2023. We wish them the very best of luck and continued success!
