Georgia Wilson and Sakura (Grade 2) made their Games debut at Tokyo 2020 following a late call-up from the reserves bench and went on to win individual and freestyle bronze. Since then, their partnership has achieved podium placings at the FEI Para Dressage World Championship 2022 and FEI Para Dressage European Championship in 2023.
On her return to the ParalympicsGB squad, Wilson said: “I’m very excited and proud to be selected for Paris 2024 – I can’t believe I get to go to a second Paralympic Games with Sakura. I’m honoured and I can’t wait to go out and try my best in Paris.”
