Asmar Equestrian-sponsored rider Sophie Wells leads the Grade IV Rankings at the Paralympics

Asmar Equestrian-sponsored rider Sophie Wells currently leads the Grade IV Rankings at the Paralympics, having scored an impressive 75.906% in today’s IV team test with Pinnochio. Briton Sophie is a full three per cent ahead of her nearest competitor, Belgium’s Michele George with Rainman.

There was a surprise in store for Britain’s Debbie Criddle, who with LJT Akilles was  favourite in the Grade III test, as German rider Hannelore Brenner, riding Women of the World, edged ahead to lead the board in this section.

Britain’s Natasha Baker leads the Grade II test riding Cabral, while team mate Lee Pearson with Gentleman leads the Grade 1B class. Grade 1A is being contested at the time of writing.

Asmar would like to congratulate Sophie on her strong performance on her first day of competition, and wishes her and her peers good luck and a massive well done for being selected to represent their respective countries.
