Alice Hurley and the Spanish bred Stallion Deseado CCV, claimed the COPA Medal at the Barcelona Dressage Spring Tour. The combination entered the Clasica 1 and 2 classes for seven year olds, which after two weeks of stiff competition placed them in first place for the medal.

Alice and Des, owned by Karen Bourden, were amongst the 11 British riders and their 17 horses that crossed the waters for the start of the international dressage season in Spain.
