Special thanks go to Meg Henderson<\/strong>, who travelled to the championships to support both Millie and Bella Saville<\/strong>. Unfortunately, Bella had to withdraw at the last moment after her pony suffered a bite where the saddle sits. Bella made the responsible decision to put her pony\u2019s welfare first and rest him\u2014well done, Bella. We look forward to seeing you back out competing again very soon. Our eventers are incredibly fortunate to have Meg\u2019s continued guidance and support.<\/p>\n
