Sean Herron, a Grade 11 learner at Curro Somerset West, is galloping his way to horse-riding success after qualifying for the regional final of the South African National Equestrian Schools Association (Sanesa) Challenge. He has been placed in fourth place in the challenge, first overall for dressage and second for performance riding. A talented rider in the making, Herron has consistently performed well in previous heats, ranking first in the Western Cape leg of the Reserve Champion and coming sixth in the Dressage South Africa National Challenge. Despite joining Curro Somerset West only two years ago, Herron’s dexterity on the pitch has helped propel the local school higher up the regional rankings to fourth place, with Curro Langebaan High School in first place and Curro Century City in second place. “We are incredibly proud of Sean’s phenomenal achievements. His devotion to horse riding is admirable and it is an honour to have him represent Curro Somerset West on a local and national level. It has been a pleasure to watch him set and achieve personal goals and continue to excel in his favourite sport,” said Magriet van der Merwe, head of Curro Somerset West High School.
