ABINGDON para-equestrian dressage rider Molly Bowen-Morris has been handed a prestigious spot on the 2015 Jaguar Land Rover Academy of Sport programme.
The 16-year-old, who was the 2014 British Dressage Young Para-Rider Development champion, attended the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials where she got to rub shoulders with London 2012 silver medallist Zara Phillips and walk the course with Captain Mark Phillips.
Molly said: “It was really great to see Zara Phillips. She was really inspirational and it’s really good to meet someone who’s been there and done it.”
Jaguar Land Rover Academy of Sport rising rugby star Marcus Street was invited to Burghley Horse Trials to meet with ambassador Zara Phillips for an exclusive mentoring Q&A. For more information on the Academy visit sportsaid.org.uk
