TAVISTOCK?s former Olympic medallist Kate Allenby hit the competition trail again this week ? but this time she was concentrating on her equestrian skills as opposed to the multi-discipline modern pentathlon. Kate has entered the national Quest-X competition ? a knockout talent contest to see if she has what it takes to become a top three-day eventer. The high powered panel of judges will not include Simon Cowell or Sharon Osbourne ? but top equestrians, including Princess Anne and Olympian Sarah Cuttridge, as she and more than 120 hopefuls demonstrate their skills at dressage, show-jumping and cross country riding, before a shortlist of 25 are chosen to go through to the finals. Kate, who admitted she was so competitive she has even had ?sleep races? in the past, said: ?I?m just wondering if I could be good enough to do it. I?m looking forward to getting the feedback. ?To be honest I?ve really no idea if I am good enough ? but I?m not going up to Windsor just to come back the next day!? Kate was due to ride a horse called St Leonard?s Solution, from Andy Reeve?s yard at Polson near Launceston, in the competition on Wednesday (yesterday). Describing her mount as ?an off-road Ferrari?, Kate said she was grateful to Brown?s Hotel in Tavistock, which has sponsored her transport to Windsor. If she gets into the final 25, Kate will take part in a special training camp where she will have access to the very best three-day event coaching available, from Olympian and Badminton Horse Trials winner Pippa Funnel. The competition is likely to be broadcast on satellite TV and on the internal TVat Windsor Horse Trials. Kate, who is 31, won the bronze medal in the modern pentathlon at the 2000 Olympic Games. She now teaches PE at Wellington School in Somerset and is due to get married at St Andrew?s Church in Whitchurch this August.
