A Japanese rider based in Lincolnshire has qualified to represent Japan in the 2012 Olympics. Takeaki Tsuchiya from Stamford, qualified for the 2012 event while competing at Blenheim Horse Trials last month.
This qualifying result means that Japan will now be represented at the Olympic Games, it is hoped by Takeaki that he will be joining them along with the support of his home town in Lincolnshire.
Takeaki Tsuchiya came to England in 1993, to pursue a riding career and has trained with some of the world’s finest riders thus becoming a major part of the Japanese national riding squad. Now living and working in a picturesque village near Stamford with his wife Natalie, Takeaki specialises in producing for sale and sourcing talented young horses for eventing and dressage.
A Great Team
“Natalie and I are so happy with this result; it is a big boost for us and our local business. We are all so excited. I have a great team behind me and we are delighted with the results at Blenheim” said Takeaki
Takeaki and his horse Jackabee have support from locals, his wife and of course his sponsors at EquiFeast who are over the moon with his results and commented, “We are delighted for Takeaki and the Japanese team. Their performance at Blenheim gives them a well-deserved place in the 2012 Olympics. Having supported Takeaki for almost 6 years and helping him improve his horse’s concentration and behaviour with our new chelated calcium calmer, we are sure Takeaki and his horse Jackabee will sail through to next year’s games and we couldn’t be happier”.
Fingers Crossed
“Chelated calcium has made all the difference to Jackabee. He is concentrating, focusing and is a joy to ride. I have tried magnesium calmers with no success but EquiFeast came up trumps with this supplement. They catered the supplement to Jackabee and now the results speak for themselves”, added Takeaki
Ears are pricked and fingers are crossed for the Japanese rider in the run up to the London 2012 Olympics and his supporters are confidant Takeaki should go all the way.
Mind you I think our British Team may have other thoughts.
