RoR/SEIB Elite Performance Awards Final Results 2011

The Ballroom at the Grange City Hotel, London, was packed to capacity for the glittering British Horse Foundation Breeders dinner and Awards Ceremony held on Saturday the 7th January, incorporating the South Essex Insurance Brokers (SEIB) and the charity Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) Elite Performance Awards for ex-racehorses.

This year's Endurance Award went to Lizzie Livingstone and Quercus Maximus for attaining the highest number of Endurance Great Britain trophy points in 2010. Lizzie and the 18hh Quercus Maximus are only in their second season of competing in Endurance and have completed a total of 9 rides this year. Runner up for this award was Lorna Kidson with Paul Wright and Margaret Donnolly’s horse Jack Dawson.

The awards provide a focus for ex-racehorses competing in the disciplines of Eventing, Dressage, Show Jumping, Endurance and Showing and have encouraged more riders to recognize the talents and versatility of the thoroughbred and their potential for success in another sphere.

These valuable awards have a total prize fund of £17,000 donated by RoR. Leading equine insurance brokers SEIB are enthusiastic sponsors of these awards with a strong company ethos in putting something back.
