The Sienna Weir Amateur Series is a tribute to a lovely young showjumper who died tragically in 2023 doing what she absolutely loved most in life – jumping her horse.  Sienna competed successfully as a Junior and a Young Rider and throughout her University time, competed successfully as an Amateur rider.
