This award recognises a 🌟star individual who demonstrates kindness towards others, embraces challenges with grace, shows genuine leadership and who reminds us that true success is not just measured by performance but by character.

The Committee heard and observed a number of heartwarming acts of someone showing kindness to another. We are very proud to announce the winner of the "Kindness Matters" Sportsmanship Award goes to 🌟Lara Roederer 🫶🏻🦄

Lara, one of our junior competitors was observed getting off her horse to support another rider who wasn't having an easy time. Lara demonstrated grace, leadership and care - she did not hesitate in helping and supporting her peer.

Lara, Thank you. Your kindness is truly appreciated 💗 🫶🏻
