Sharon Hunt Set for Team GB

June 21, 2010 - Posted by admin

Great Britain’s selectors look set for a testing time in selection next month after Sharon Hunt announced her World Equestrian Games credentials in Luhmuhlen.

Hunt produced the performance of her eventing career to join an elite list of HSBC FEI Classics winners.

And it means competition to secure a place in the four-strong British team – they will also take two riders for individual competition – heading to Kentucky later this year has intensified.

Hunt’s British colleagues Oliver Townend, Lucy Wiegersma and Mary King also claimed top-10 finishes here, while experienced Olympian William Fox-Pitt and reigning European champion Tina Cook did not compete.

The team is set to be announced after the Barbury International Horse Trials in Wiltshire on July 10/11.

Kent-based Hunt collected an Olympic team bronze medal in Hong Kong two years ago, but she was overwhelmed after landing a first four-star title on Tankers Town, holding her nerve in the showjumping arena to stave off the strong twin challenge of Germans Ingrid Klimke and Andreas Dibowksi.

“I am so pleased,” she said, after collecting a £27,600 pay-day.

“But that course really suited him. He is so good at jumping quick, and he came here on really good form.

“I’ve had him since he was a four-year-old – he’s been phenomenal for me – and this is just brilliant.

“I have always thought he was a champion horse, and now he is. He’s so consistent, but often under-rated.”

Townend, although finishing fifth aboard Ashdale Cruise Master, had the consolation of attaining the world championships qualifying standard.

But Hunt, who has owned the 16-year-old Tankers Town since 1998, could enjoy taking centre-stage after collecting just four faults and finishing inside a testing time of 90 seconds.

Only nine combinations among a 32-strong showjumping field managed to avoid time penalties, and it put Hunt firmly in contention for the overall £92,000 HSBC Classics prize, standing just seven points behind leader Dibowski with two events remaining at Burghley and Pau later this year.
