Lillie Keenan (USA) & Kick On

“Today was incredible!” said the American rider with a smile. “Winning the 1.55m Grand Prix with Kick On is more than I could have hoped for. After a difficult day yesterday, my mother told me not to worry because tomorrow would be another day and she was absolutely right. I really love coming to Dinard: the crowd is always behind us, and the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else. I love this show so much that I even designed a pink jacket with my brand especially for Dinard.  Now, of course, I’m hoping to win the Rolex Grand Prix of the City of Dinard on Sunday.”
