Former South African show jumper David McPherson to compete for Britain
Former South African show jumper David McPherson will be competing for Great Britain at future international events. David has changed his allegiance because he is keen to try for a place on the British team.
“I am impressed by the new plans from British show jumping, which are being previously competed for South Africa at international shows while based near Maidstone, Kent.
BSJA performance manager Derek Ricketts said: “David has a good track record in international competitions and is a very welcome addition to our ranks.”
