Piggy French tops London 2012 Olympic test event dressage
Appropriately for the London 2012 Olympic test event, British rider Piggy French holds a commanding lead after the dressage at Greenwich.
Riding the 11-year-old DHI Topper W, Piggy performed a beautifully accurate, elegant test (pictured) to score 34.7 in the CIC** competition which is acting as both a try-out of the temporary facilities in Greenwich Park and as a fact-finding mission for 23 nations. That gives her a six-mark lead over second-placed Clayton Fredericks (Bendigo), who posted 40.9.
