Help Sonia reach Nationals

 

She has actively been competing in Western Mounted Games since 2020. 
In 2021 at the age of 13 she was the only Level 3, Primary School rider that qualified to represent the Western Cape in her first National event in Parys, Free State.  She had a very nasty fall on her second day, but successfully completed the Championship. 

 

In 2022 she once again qualified to represent the Western Cape. She fell terribly ill and had to be hospitalized a day before competing, but she is a fighter and successfully competed and even had a National 1st place and several placings in some of the events after barely being able to stay on her horse to compete - she really made us very proud with her determination and grit to compete.

 

In 2023 she did qualify but due to financial constraints after being retrenched we just could not assist her to attend Nationals. Despite the fact, she still competed whole heartedly. She started training her new horse in November and they have successfully competed at our first 2024 qualifier on 11 Feb. 

On Friday, 23 Feb 2024 disaster struck when they broke into the tack room and her  fully fitted saddle with all the accessories where stolen. Unfortunately we did not have this specified on our insurance and our claim has just been denied. 

Her predicament is that our next qualifier is on Sunday, 10 March and she has to compete in this qualifier if she wants to qualify for Provincial Team Selection to attend Nationals in Sept and we need your help to help her reach her goad as she is unable to compete without the proper gear. 

Our replacement quote at Western Shoppe amount so R27 000.00
Any additional funds that we receive will be utilise to assist some of the other riders that also lost their tack. 

 

I call upon individuals and companies that are willing to assist your sportswomen to reach their goals, to please help us so Sonia and Tommy the Builder can attend Nationals in September 2024.
