Personal Best For Bates
Horse & Hound
|December 12, 2019
CONVINCING wins in the advanced medium 92 and freestyle meant more than usual to Keri Bates, whose partnership with Christianslund Gevalia has been tested lately.
“I was recently diagnosed with a rare eye condition, caused by a virus,” explained Keri, who recorded a personal best of 79.67% with “G” in the freestyle. “I woke up with permanent blind spots in my vision that affect my balance, so I’ve had to adjust the way I ride. G has been so good — she doesn’t let you sit back and have an easy ride, but I trust her.”
Keri bought the De Noir daughter three years ago.
