Sonja Johnson at Burghley 2016

      Sonja Johnson and Parkiarrup Illicit Liaison

 

Sonja Johnson and the 16 year old chestnut thoroughbred gelding Parkiarrup Illicit Liaison (Ben) owned by Nikki Harwood have had an even longer than usual journey to compete at a CCI4*

For Sonja the journey to Adelaide for the Australian International 3 Day Event CCI4* takes around three days from her home in Albany, Western Australia but to attend the 4* at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials Sonja has flown across the world

Sonja and Ben were shortlisted for the Australian team at the Rio Olympic Games and were part of the winning Australian team at Aachen in July. We caught up with Sonja after the first horse inspection to find out how their time in the UK had been going
