In the children category, the young Corfu ‘Amazon’ Annie Mayo–Vatidi came 2nd with the horse Canton H (Athens Equestrian Club). She was amongst the leaders in each of the categories she participated in. With this performance she proved that she is continuously improving and that she can be considered for the Greek team at the Balkan Championships in the children category.
