Big Gaelforce shout-out to women in sport this week.... because honestly, what a week. 💪
Firstly, trail running legend @rachel__entrekin . Winning the Cocodona 250 outright. Not just the women’s race, the whole thing ! Over 250 miles across Arizona and coming out on top. Absolute grit, strength and endurance.
And then @ros_canter_eventing and Lordships Graffalo, “Walter”, making Badminton history. Three Badminton Horse Trials wins together, the first combination ever to do it in the event’s 77-year history! For all the horsey people like our own director Mona, this one is very special.
Two completely different sports. Two unbelievable women. Same message: women in sport are legends!
Massive congratulations from all of us at Gaelforce.
