Helena Ryan, the 2020 PAC world champion in Trail from County Limerick, Ireland, describes what this event and title meant to her.
“This [PAC] World Champion title means the sky is the limit. 2020 was my first year competing at this level. I was terrified that we wouldn’t be good enough and would be laughed at, I was wrong. This title proves that ADMS Tripple Loot “Quigley”, is the talented, special horse I knew he was when I met him as an unknown, green broke 3 year old. It’s a historic moment for APHA, and I’m proud that Quigley and I were part of it and our names are stamped in it for all time. It also means great things for APHA. This is their platform to reach every member and say to them, ‘you can do it too, come play with us!’”
