Shiwon Green
Shiwon Green has been riding since she was 6 years old – thanks to a horse mad older sister (Sally Millar - currently chairperson of Eventing NZ) that paved the way. She has ridden in several disciplines and as a teenager had the goal of one day riding at Badminton. She spent a year riding in the United States chasing the jumping dream but it was while she was there that she became exposed to dressage at the highest level attending several high profile shows. Some years later she had the chance to purchase the talented but sometimes difficult horse, Gosh, and the rest, as they say, is history. Despite never having ridden above Novice level and Gosh himself being only trained to Elementary when she bought him, in five short years they flew through the grades – this season they have been campaigning successfully at Grand Prix. In addition she has competed her 6yo Hanoverian x KWPN gelding Da Vinci in the Level 4/Level 5 arena with the view to the Young Dressage Horse finals at Nationals. Next season she hopes to present her 4yo Gryffindor gelding in competition. Recent Success Shiwon has just been named on the international B squad. With only 5 on the squad it's a terrific achievement and she is only one rider away from the A squad. Shiwon will be going in Sydney in October with Gosh and also riding at Equitana in November.
We wish to congratulate Shiwon and wish her every success this season! 2nd at the 2010 Dressage Waitemata Championships - Grand Prix on Gosh 5th in the 2010 Dressage Waitemata Championships Grand Prix Freestyle to Music on Gosh 3rd at the 2010 1st in the 2008/2009 2nd at the 2009 National Championships in the 5yo YDH final on Da Vinci 3rd overall at the 2009 National Championships Level 2 on Da Vinci Reserve Champion Grand Prix at the 2009 | ||||
