dressage was held on Saturday with the showjumping and cross country phases running
simultaneously on Sunday. This years cross country course was designed by Tony Johnson and
Karin Matten. It was a challenging yet safe course with many new jumps and the return of
old favourites like the Gawler Seat and Normandy Bank.Introductory Class After the dressage Paul Pritchard & Beaujolais were narrow leaders over Sally Watt & Dolly Bird with Lara Pizimolas & Venturer of Beckworth in third. Paul Pritchard & Beaujolais finished on their dressage score of 54.3 after faultless displays cross country and in showjumping to win the class.

Gillian Rolton & Endeavour were third on 59.4 from Seumas Marwood & BS Sidewinder with 62.4 and Luke Jones & Racketeer on 67.8. Megan Jones & PPP Blucher Mop were first to go cross country finishing with 9.2 time penalties and went on to have a rail down in showjumping but held second with 71.8. Luke Jones and Racketeer were next but after a spectacular refusal at the House Complex Luke had to dismount to adjust gear and after that Racketeer appeared to lose concentration and was eliminated at the water complex. Seumas Marwood & Sidewinder were also stopped at the water but it was by officials went it was announced that this pair had jumped the wrong obstacle at fence one and were therefore disqualified. Gillian Rolton & Endeavour went out next but incurred a stop and 25.2 time faults to finish third on 104.6. Megan Jones & KP Irish Hallmark were the last to go and despite 9.6 time penalties cross country and a rail down showjumping easily won the class on 64.4. |
