Australian rider Sam Griffiths has topped off a fantastic year by being voted Rider of the Year – Eventing by the members of the International Riders Club as announced in L’Annee Hippique
Sam, originally from Pearcedale in Victoria, won the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials in 2014, placed third at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, was runner-up in the 2013/2014 FEI Classics Series and represented Australia at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Normandy
Recently Sam underwent emergency surgery on his appendix which sadly prevented him visiting the Australian International 3 Day Event in Adelaide as one of the event’s ambassadors.
Well done Sam on this latest award, a fantastic year and hope this makes you feel better!
