Based in Corwen, North Wales, multi-medal winning
Paralympic rider Nicola and Prinz Heinrich, owned by Sarah Pidgley,
are a long-standing partnership which showed throughout their
performance.
Competing at Medium level in able-bodied competitions, they were
clearly on form at the national championships, with all their hard
work and training over recent months paying of.
Said Nicola: “I was very pleased with how he went in the
championships, he was really on form, very rideable but also
expressive, I couldn’t have asked for more.
“We have done a lot of training this year, on the competition side
it has been a bit quieter and we have been busy with para training.
Prinz Heinrich was really on form and I delighted with his work.
“He is an amazing horse and I feel very honoured to be given the
opportunity to ride and compete with him.”
Nicola has help from Michel Assouline, Ferdi Eilberg and Pammy
Hutton, who has trained her for eight years.
She started riding at the age of three on her grandfather’s riding
ponies and when taking up dressage was quickly bitten by the bug
with help from her local RDA centre.
