Nikkita’s Story - Youth Scholarship

Nikkita Shines at Tamworth Dressage Showcase

We are thrilled to share the incredible achievements of Nikkita, a young equestrian supported by the Ability Agriculture Foundation and its generous donors.

Nikkita recently competed at the prestigious Tamworth Dressage Showcase, hosted by the Tamworth Dressage Club at AELEC. While the Virtus Section for equestrians with disabilities and impairments was unavailable, Nikkita bravely entered the Open Closed Unrestricted Preliminary 1.2 and 1.3 classes, showcasing her talent alongside adult competitors for the first time with her horse Bigby.

Her performance was truly remarkable. Nikkita placed 7th in Preliminary 1.2 with an impressive score of 52.87 and 6th in Preliminary 1.3 with a score of 59.375. Judged by official EA-registered judges, Nikkita's success is a testament to her dedication, hard work, and exceptional horsemanship.

This incredible opportunity was made possible thanks to the unwavering support of the Ability Agriculture Foundation and our compassionate donors. Their generosity empowers individuals like Nikkita to pursue their passions and thrive in the agricultural sector.
