Deborah Criddle (GBR) and LJT Akilles (SWB born 2000 by Amiral out of Heba (55) 14572 by Herkules-Flamingo, breeder Bollerup Lantbruksinstitut) won the individual silver medal in Grade III and the British Team won a gold medal, today!

British Dressage writes:
"Having the experience of competing at three previous Paralympics meant that Deb Criddle was able to refocus despite making a mistake while riding LJT Akilles in the Grade III Individual Championship Test and still achieve 71% to win silver.The 46-year-old rider said: “The marks are a little bit lower than I’d hoped. Yes, there was a mistake. I had too much bend and couldn’t contain what I’d created, so we had an abrupt stop. He’s a sensitive chappie and there was more atmosphere today, but he grew into it in a good way. We had lots of super movements and, overall, it felt fantastic.
“When you go first, it’s always difficult. You have to go out and push for everything. You have no option and know you have better riders coming behind you. There’s always another day, but not, unfortunately, another London 2012. I’ve only had him for just over a year and performing in front of 10,000 people is a lot to ask of a horse. I thought he coped brilliantly well,” she said."
