Suphakamol said she was pleased with her result and that she would continue to focus and earn more points to compete in the 2022 World Championships in Denmark and the 2024 Olympic Games in France.
Suphakamol said, “I was very excited to ride the CDI3* Big Tour Grand Prix, the same level used in the Olympic Games, as it has been my childhood dream. It was a challenging test with a lot of technical details. However, my horse, Dreamboat BCN, and I tackled it very well even though it was our first time competing at this level.”
