Sienna sizzles as she scoops European double gold

First-time Junior team member Sienna, riding her horse Tambourine, emerged victorious having led from the dressage phase with a score of 38.1, producing two beautiful clear rounds to secure the gold medal. Team member Libby Soley claimed the silver on a score of 45.

Thirteen countries contested the championships, with teams from Russia, Poland and Sweden travelling to Thirlestane Castle in Lauder, Scotland, to compete at the event, which ended last week.

Sienna, who lives near the Sussex border at Gomshall near Guildford, led from the first day of dressage on Thursday, with no-one else breaking the 40-penalty barrier after two days of competition.
