Congratulations to Paul Kotze (Grade 11) who has achieved wonderful results in equestrian eventing this year. Paul now ranks 25th in South Africa for the Junior Rider category. To be placed in the top 25 in the country is an excellent result especially considering that Knysna is far away from the major competition areas.
