IRISH dressage rider Judy Reynolds, who had a milestone year last year, was delighted to be honoured with an award in her adopted hometown of Dorsten, Germany, in recognition of her sporting achievements. She is pictured with her father Joe.

2015 was a record-breaking year for the rider who produced some top-drawer performances with her gelding Vancouver K including a ninth place finish in the Reem Acra FEI World Cup at Olympia as well as 14th in the five-star show’s opening Grand Prix class.
