| Competition 7 - Advanced 5E - Friday 25th Oct. - Page 2 | |||||||||||||
The competition on the main Olympic arena contiues in the 5E class. Here are some more of the tests. |
|||||||||||||
 |
Jodie Dunstan and
Kelara Chablis are listed as living in NSW. She lives quite near the border,
and is a frequent visitor to Victorian dressage competitions. She puts a great deal into her riding, and this experience would be of great value to her many dressage students. Jodie scored 68.23% on her Arabian/Warmblood gelding. The horse was bred by Victorian A Level judge Robert Hammond. |

Lynwood Genesis and Lauren George travelled from Queensland to take part in these Championships. An associate of Lauren's told me that her horse has been working just so well, but he just did not seem to handle the trip and/or the excitement of the competition. This would be a great disappointment for Lauren, but the experience is all part of the learning curve required to make it in the top ranks of Australian Dressage. | ||||||||||||
 |
Lynwood Genesis
showed some lovely moments in both of his Advanced tests, but was not able to keep the
standard consistent. Lauren finished well down with a score of 54.06% and will no doubt reflect on the experience and try to address the weaknesses. Good luck Lauren - hope to see you on top next year. |

APH Suzette with
owner/rider Alison Dent is an attractive Trakehner mare by Zwion. This is a nice combination but the work did not seem established enough to take on the challenge of a meeting with the best in the Country. |
||||||||||||
 |
APH Suzette need to
work on devel0ping the collection and self carriage as the little bit that I saw was
lacking in this area. The score was 53.85% for a position well down. |

I got to see Arvie
and young Sally Dowsett work several times during the four days at Horsley Park.
Sally ttok part in the Young Rider Challenge which means that she is quite justified in
lacking years of experience and the polish that goes with time. I thought that this was a very accomplished duo with lots of potential - I hope Sally can relax and enjoy the good ...and not be too self critical, as she appeared to be when I spoke to her following one of her rides. |

 |
Sally Dowsett and
Arvie - the horse is an Abdalusian cross mare by Jocoso and has lovely self carriage and
collection. They scored 58.65% - which was a good attempt at this high level - Good luck Sally. |

Wisdom and Ann
Serrao not only looked good but worked the same way. This handsome black gelding is
by Winterkoenig and from the mare D'Tosca. He is just 8 years old so has a bright future ahead. |
||||||||||||
 |
Ann Serrao and
Wisdom achieved a score of 61.67% and 7th placing in this competition. Ann also rode her gorgeous chestnut Centaur in the Grand Prix CDI-W. |

 |
Groover and Sally
Latona demonstrated lovely balance and self carriage in the Advanced 5E - and these were
the qualities that gained marks. This attractive horse is a Thoroughbred by Clinton John. They scored 61.77% for 6th place. |
