By Equestrian Life
The final two Australian team riders have completed their Team Tests at the Tokyo Paralympics this evening.
Amelia White and Genius rode in the Grade V, scoring an impressive 70.558% – only a touch behind their PB. Speaking to Australian High Performance Media, Amelia said:
“He was really good I think he definitely improved on the score from the previous test which was a goal.
“I think there is always more in the tank and I think if you ask me if I am happy the answer is never 100%, but where we are now and to have these scores here I am really happy with that.”
Amelia will now compete in tomorrow’s Freestyle.
