Emmelia Selected for England Team

25 Jul 2024
Written by Victoria Evenden
General

We were delighted to hear that Emmelia Potts (2009 H) has been chosen for the England squad by The Endurance GB International Committee, which will take part in the prestigious Home Internationals, to be hosted in Ireland on the 10th and 11th August 2024.

The Home Internationals is an annual friendly competition amongst England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with each country taking turns to host the event. This year the event will be held in the pituresque setting of County Kilkenny, Ireland, with riders competing across various terrains, including farmland, grassy tracks and newly extended sections through the stunning Irish countryside.

Emmelia has previously competed in the Mongol Derby and other endurance races, so is very well placed to do well in the Home Internationals. We wish her every success in August and will be monitoring her progress. Good luck Emmelia!
