Cfao Motors Zambia Limited is a proud sponsor of the Dressage World Challenge & 7 Nations Dressage Challenge that took place at Lusaka Gymkhana Club, from the 3rd to 5th November 2023.
The event was graced by visiting International Judges; Mrs Suzanne Horne and Mrs Moya Truter who witnessed the horse/ rider combination, working in harmony, developing suppleness, flexibility, obedience and athleticism in order to perform special, carefully controlled movements as directed by the rider, which produced excellent tests and results.
The aim of the FEI World Challenge series was to offer athletes who, under normal circumstances, could not take part in international competitions due to various unforeseen factors. It is important to note that the FEI Dressage World Challenge also served as an educational purpose by linking the competition with the coaching.
The competition covered performance levels and two age groups (12-16 yrs; 16 yrs and older):
• Intermediate I
• Prix St. Georges
• Senior II
• Senior I
• Youth
