On Sunday the 3 June Mr and Mrs Grady were invited as special guests to the Hong Kong Equestrian Federation’s Annual Awards Dinner at Beas River Country Club in Sheun Shui. This is a yearly event that recognizes the achievements of Hong Kong’s top Equestrian athletes in all age groups. For the information of the KGV community special recognition was made at this event of the amazing achievements by KGV Equestrian teams over the last 12 years of the HKEF Interschool’s Competition. It was mentioned to the gathering that KGV is the only school to make the finals of this event every year, winning the completion 4 times (the only school to do this) coming second 7 times and third once. There were many dignitaries at the dinner who were very keen to congratulate our school on this magnificent achievement. Also Mr and Mrs Grady were presented with a special award recognizing the contribution they have made to the Interschool’s competition and to the KGV teams in particular.

Apart from Mrs and Mrs Grady KGV were represented by current (Nathan Chan) and past (Patricia Chan) riders and also Dr and Mrs Riggs and two of their sons Scott and Jonathan both current students at KGV. Many more KGV riders were mentioned in the awards ceremony during the night.

For example one of KGV’s current riders, Annabel Dyson, had the previous day came first and third in the HK Dressage Horse of the Year Show (Preliminary Level). This was an amazing achievement considering Annabel was riding against some professional riders and she is currently sitting her GCSE examinations.

It was an honour for Mr and Mrs Grady to represent KGV in this well acknowledged community event.
