Sam Griffiths & Paulank Brockagh

In 1995 Griffiths left Pearcedale (Victoria) to make a career in the UK, starting as a working pupil for dual Olympic gold medallist Matt Ryan. This year Griffiths and Paulank Brockagh (Brocks) had the competition of their lives, finishing in 1st place after one of the toughest Badmintons ever. This made Brocks the fourth mare in history to win the Badminton title. Brock’s part owner Dinah Posford also had a share in Sam’s 2010 Kentucky World Equestrian Games and London Olympics mount Happy Times.
