Rider Danielle Sexton and her horse, Hayden recently competed at the BC Heritage Circuit Finals in Kamloops July 5-7.

Her first time competing at this level, and the first time a Terrace rider has been to the event in years, she won two Grand Champions, a Reserve Champion, and a fourth in Dressage.

In Flat/Hack she received a Reserve Champion, two fourths and a sixth.

Sexton also has the distinction of being the rider who travelled the furthest to the event, said her mother, Alice Sexton.

“Huge accomplishment,” she said.

“Many horse shows to get there. Special thanks to her coach Natasha Candelora of Northern Warmbloods in Terrace.”

Candelora is also the breeder and owner of Hayden.
