Showjumping Thornaby sisters Millie and Pippa Allen have continued their rise up the European equestrian rankings after leaping to a string of top drawer results at the Spanish CSI2 International Show.
The Stainsby Grange siblings both starred in Oliva Nova, with Millie particularly impressive.
The 16-year-old Millie, pictured right, headed the line-up after a thrilling jump off in the Bronze Tour Grand Prix.
Riding the eight-year-old gelding Brooklyn 28 owned by HS Sportpferde GMBH, she produced one of the only four double clears in the competition in a time of 47.97 seconds.
That secured her the title in her own right and relegated Danny McGlynn with Atletico van d’Abelendreef, a 14 year-old chestnut gelding owned by Team Harmony Management into second place.
Millie’s older sister Pippa, 21, had several placings in the ranking classes and young horse classes in the highly regarded event, which featured an increased number of high-profile riders and top-class horses this year.
It ran for three weeks and was the second leg of the 2014 Mediterranean Equestrian Tour.
