Mirrors For Training
Proudly Sponsor Erin Williams...
Erin
Williams (12) , a young dressage rider from Derbyshire, who
is enjoying success with her two ponies Dublin and Danny Boy
B. Erin has been training throughout the winter with the
Great Britain Dressage Pony Squad on Dutch pony Danny Boy B.
At 12 years old, Erin is the youngest member of the squad
with the oldest being 16 years.
Erin and Danny Boy B won
the first Premier League show of 2010 at Myerscough College
beating the top 28 pony riders in the UK. Erin and Danny Boy
were recently placed 5th on both days at their first
international competition at the Addington Manor CDI riding
against 30 of the best pony riders from around Europe. They
have now been selected to represent GB at the French
International CDI in Saumur, France in May.
"My aim this season is
to ride well, enjoy my ponies and impress the Selectors!"
said Erin. "My ambition is to be selected as one of the 4
top riders to represent Great Britain at the European Pony
Championships in July this year". "I have worked so hard
over the winter. My mirrors have especially helped me
improve the positioning of my lateral work. Being able to
watch myself do walk pirouettes in the mirrors has been
fantastic."
Erin trains with
Derbyshire based international rider Sonia Webster.
"Mirrors are vital in our
training" said
Sonia. "As Erin is
so young, it is really helpful for her to visualise her pony
and herself and can quickly see when things look right or
not! " Erin also
trains with Great Britain Team Trainer, former Olympian
Peter Storr, who has been helping with her test riding
skills.
