Academy Scholar wins at Bramham Horse Trials

Hartpury's former Eventing Scholar Astier Nicolas from France was the clear winner of the U25's CCI*** class last week at Bramham international horse trials riding Piaf De B'Neville.

Astier was obviously delighted with his victory and commented "I would like to say that the training and support I have received at Hartpury was second to none and so professional and it has played a huge hand in my horse's performance and management....now I see the results! I will always be grateful to Nick (Burton) & Corinne (Bracken) for their coaching and guidance that has got me where I am today".

Academy Director Nick Burton said "We are obviously thrilled for Astier. He is a very dedicated and talented rider and we are very proud of his continued success".
