Equestrian Alex McMartin has delivered a stunning performance at the Global Amateur Tour in Brazil, clinching the title of Best Placed Foreign Combination in the Amateur Division of the 1.10/1.15m Championships.
McMartin's remarkable success is all the more notable as she initially intended to attend the event for training purposes only, shying away from the pressure of competition. However, a timely nudge of encouragement from her coach and fellow competitor, Abby Bardgett, convinced her to change course and enter the ring.
Paired with her faithful mount, Zeus, McMartin rose to the challenge and produced a fantastic display of skill and composure. Their performance was truly special, culminating in them being awarded the top spot in their division.
McMartin's achievement is a testament to her talent and a clear example of how a change of mindset, combined with excellent support, can lead to outstanding results on the international stage.
