REVS Sponsored Rider Update: Kristy Watson

We would love to share with you Kristy's come from behind story!​ We're so proud of you Kristy!

In February 2016 Kristy received a badly fractured ankle and was out of commission for a whole season while modelling some high tech leg jewellery. A few pins and plates later, she and Humphrey were back competing again: picking up a 3rd place at the REA Wagga Dressage Comp on the 26/3/17, and scoring well against some stiff competition at Albury Horse Trials.

But while the ankle was holding together alright, it was perhaps not quite suited for a big powerful warmblood... Thankfully, Kristy knew she could count on the very talented Thoroughbred, Soldier, to be dependable.

Kristy and Soldier competed at Camden National Eventing Championships on 22/4/17 for a 2nd place in the EvA 80 class! "I was absolutely rapped with his performance, he finished on his dressage score to beat some very stiff competition against many professional full time riders.".

Kristy and Soldier then stepped up another grade to perform very well in the EvA 95 CIC One Day Event at Berrima on the 27/5/17. " It's been a long road with Humphrey and I'm appreciative of everything he has taught me. I have been very appreciative of your ongoing support and I hope the next 6 months will be onwards and upwards!"

Well done Kristy! Onwards and upwards indeed!
