Herron has been placed in a fantastic fourth place in the challenge. He came first overall for dressage and second overall for performance riding. A talented rider in the making, Herron has consistently performed well in previous heats. He was ranking first in the Western Cape leg of the Reserve Champion. Herron also came sixth in the Dressage South Africa National Challenge. Furthermore he also triumphed in the South African Youth Championship National held in December 2021 for Dressage. He also came third for the show riding and show hunter classes for 13–18-year-olds.
As the country’s leading independent school provider, Curro has always supported passionate learners in developing their horse-riding skills. Despite only joining Curro Somerset West two years ago, Herron’s dexterity on the pitch has helped propel Curro Somerset West higher up the regional rankings to fourth place, with Curro Langebaan High School in first place and Curro Century City in second place.
“We are incredibly proud of Sean’s phenomenal achievements. His devotion to horse riding is admirable and it is an honour to have him represent Curro Somerset West on a local and national level. It has been a pleasure to watch him set and achieve personal goals and continue to excel in his favourite sport,” says Magriet van der Merwe, Head of Curro
Somerset West High School.
