A former Dalbeattie woman will head for France next month as part of the Great Britain squad in the World Championships for Working Equitation.
Lynne Macleod, who has lived and worked in Cheltenham for 20 years, qualified for the team with her Spanish Lusitano horse Hermes.
The 41-year-old is currently chef d’equipe at the Withington Manor equestrian centre where she runs a successful livery business.
