ArcEquine user Francis Whittington on European Eventing Squad with Easy Target

This year's European Eventing Championships (Sept 9-13) are being hosted in the UK at the beautiful and historic Blair Castle Estate in Perthshire and as the host nation, Team GBR squad will total 12 horse and rider combinations, amongst whom is experienced and enthusiastic ArcEquine user Francis Whittington with Catherine Witt's 14yo gelding Easy Target.

Francis grew up surrounded by the horses at his mother’s riding school and represented Great Britain initially in the Pony Team, winning team silver and individual gold in 1993 on North Down Nova at the European Championships in Hassett, Belgium. A full time event rider, he is also a qualified as an equine dentist.

Having represented Great Britain on the British Nations Cup teams for the past two seasons, Francis was part of the second placed Nations Cup team at Houghton Hall at the beginning of June. Last year he enjoyed a great season with Easy Target achieving some impressive results at three star level including winning the CCI3* class at Blenheim Palace, second place in the British Open at Gatcombe and second place in the CIC3* at Barbury.

Based in East Sussex with his wife Samantha and their young son, Francis has used the ArcEquine microcurrent units for a number of years. He says with conviction: "ArcEquine enables our horses to be as fit and well the day after an event as they were the day before."
