ANNE Dunham beamed with pride after taking her personal Paralympic medal haul to nine with individual silver and team bronze at the para dressage in Rio last night.

Worton rider Dunham claimed Wiltshire's fourth and fifth medals of the Paralympic Games in Rio as Great Britain's unparallelled dominance of the para-dressage discipline continued.

Dunham, who turns 68 later this month, picked up a silver medal behind compatriot Sophie Christiansen in the grade 1a event, her fourth individual medal in a Games career which stretches back to Atlanta in 1996.

After Sophie Wells' grade IV win on Wednesday and Natasha Baker's grade II win on Thursday morning, the quartet's scores contributed to the team total and Britain's unbeaten streak - dating from 1996 in European, world and Paralympic events - continued.

Dunham, who missed out on selection for the Great Britain team for the London 2012 Games, scored 74.348 om LJT Lucas Normark as Christiansen took her personal career tally to seven Paralympic gold medals.

“It feels absolutely amazing, we’ve worked for this for eight years me and my family and it’s amazing to be here in Rio,” said Dunham.

“It’s just amazing, it’s been wonderful today. All my previous Games experiences have really contributed so much to me as a person and I’m immensely proud to have seen the sport grow over that time.

"Everything has changed so much. In 1996 we were on borrowed horses; the host country had to source all the horses.

"Now we are on our own horses and we're actually real dressage partners.

"We won it and we won it in style. We've shown that it isn't a fluke, that we are the best prepared, best-trained squad in the world and we've shown it again. Hopefully, we'll go on showing it."

She added: “It’s a dream come true, I would have liked the Gold and we’ll both be there fighting for it tomorrow and both be riding our socks off for our country.”

More medals will be up for grabs in today's freestyle test, after which the team medal will be presented to the Great Britain team, whose team total of 453.306 beat Germany by almost 20 points.

Dunham's own Paralympic medal haul achieved across 20 years stands at six gold, two silver and a bronze, five of them team medals.

Meanwhile, Corsham's Stephanie Millward narrowly missed out on a fourth medal of the Games as ParalympicsGB’s 4x100m freestyle relay team – featuring her, Amy Marren, Susie Rodgers and Alice Tai – had to settle for fourth place in 4:26.95.

Australia took the gold with a new world record time, touching the wall just over ten seconds ahead of the Brits.

Millward, who clinched her first Paralympic gold medal on Tuesday with victory in the S8 100m backstroke and took bronze in the 100m and 400m freestyle, was due back in the pool today as she contested the women's S8 50m freestyle.
