Sussex equestrian star Lottie back in GB junior team for European Championships

It’s been a very successful showjumping season for the Mid Sussex-based Adams sisters – competing as young professional showjumpers and being selected to compete abroad in two Nation Cups, both sisters finishing with top placings.

And now there is more good news – for Lottie Adams and Khaleesi OL (known as Betty) have been selected to represent Great Britain Children on Horse Team in the European Championships (for the second year running), which will be held next week in Riesenbeck, Germany (7-12 July).

Lottie’s horse Khaleesi OL had no record prior to the Adamses purchasing her at the beginning of last year through Georgie Strutton (Melrose Farm), who helped match-make them – and together they have since proved brave and bold with everything they have faced, and Betty only ever wants to please.
