MEDIA RELEASE 12 December 2013
Champion horse Hillgrove Enviable “Enny” was named as the Carisbrooke Lady Mare of the Year at Eventing Queensland’s 2013 awards ceremony this month.
“Enny’s” rider, Olympian Rebel Morrow said her horse worked hard this year. “This award is recognition of her performance throughout the season,” Rebel said.
“She is definitely the horse that can take me to the Olympics.”
The recognition at the equestrian community’s ‘Grammy’ events follows closely on the pair’s outstanding performance at the Australian International 3 Day event in Adelaide last month.
What makes “Enny” even more special is she is the half-sister of Oakley Groover, the horse Rebel rode into 11th place at the Athens Olympics in 2004.
On the road to the Olympics is the World Equestrian Games in 2014.
“Our future is massive. What we did in Adelaide qualified us for the next World Games, and ultimately the 2016 Olympics,” she said.
“Having the World Games two years before the Olympics gives me a chance to refocus and keep the blood rushing.
“Athletes need regular high class events to have something to strive towards,” Morrow said.
