medal on 'Victory Salute' at
the Paralympics last night

Georgia Bruce rode her way into a Bronze Medal for Australia in the Individual Championship Test in Hong Kong tonight.

Adding to Australia's overall Paralympic medal tally, Georgia performed brilliantly and was only 1% away from the gold medal position.

For the first time Georgia's mum Annie was in the crowd to see her performance.

Georgia rode a accurate and flowing test. Her mount Victory Salute was supple and obedient to Georgia's direction and they made a wonderful sight as they completed each movement.

Even more remarkable is the fact that Georgia has only been riding Victory Salute for 4 weeks!

The horse is owned by Carolyn Lieutenant who is a long time supporter of Para-dressage sport and is in Hong Kong to help train Georgia and Sam, Victory Salute's stable name.
