RISING Irish show jumper Arielle Allen, who is based at Sycamore Stables in Northern Ireland, has been named as one of the recipients of the coveted Linda Southern-Heathcott Horsemanship $5,000 Scholarship during the Spruce Meadows ‘National’ five-star show, presented by Rolex – a particularly special moment as the legendary Canadian venue celebrates its 50th anniversary.

Awarded annually to riders who embody the true spirit of horsemanship, the scholarship honours those who demonstrate deep respect for their teammate – the horse; a tireless work ethic behind the scenes; and a genuine love for the journey that excellence in sport demands.
