Earlier this year she became part of Team GB, travelling to Azelhof, Belgium, to compete in her first international competition abroad. Molly’s opposition, in the senior event, included four former Olympic athletes and others of high rank from different nations. Molly won two of her classes, gaining a podium place and meaning that the Union Jack was raised and the national anthem played. She also achieved a third and sixth place in other classes. Molly has described this as one of the best moments of her life. She surpassed her expectations with her two international wins and she is looking forward to further challenges in the future. Molly said that her success at this event was even more special because she competed on her ten-year old horse, Renkum Aristocrat, whom she has trained since he was six. **Tags:** [2016-2017](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/2016-2017) [Sports](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/tag/sports) - [ previous](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2017-02-25-viking-day) - [next ](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news/2017-03-07-aks-7s-tournaments) - [Mission Statement](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
