Botswana debut at Equestrian competition

The competition has attracted 28 riders from 28 countries across the continent. Morgan’s manager, Sean Irish told Mmegi Sport equestrian is not a familiar sport in Botswana and the intention is for his daughter to shift that mindset by taking part in the competition. “We have arrived in Algiers for the Africa Nations Cup and we only hope for the best. She is competing in the show jumping category. She did not travel with her horse and the one she would be riding has been borrowed from the organisers,” he said.

The competition will be on borrowed horses and there will be a horse draw. Irish said Morgan, 14, had to travel to Algeria before the competition to familiarise herself with different horses.
