| Competition 14 - Grand Prix Kür (CDI-W) - Sat. 27th Oct. - Page 2 | |||||||||||||
| The Saturday evening Grand Prix Kür continues to a packed house... | |||||||||||||
 |
Byalee Tomorrow and Heath Ryan, who chose a selection of catchy tunes with an African (Jungle) theme ... to compliment his Freestyle. | ||||||||||||
 |
Byalee Tomorrow pulled off a
high risk, deep loop of one times changes - and it added to the calculated risk element of
their test. They scored 60.40% for 8th place. |

 |
Lucas Hurps and his athletic
Thoroughbred Euphoria performed very well throughout the 2001 National Championships. It was an ambitious beginning to their Freestyle, with a centre line of one times changes - which they pulled off! |
||||||||||||
 |
I felt that the musical choice
was not as good as it may have been, as it seemed to me to be background, and not
really in rhythm to the horses various paces. I was sitting next to someone who loved it - so I guess this difference of individual opinion will take place with the judges, as well as the audience !!! |
||||||||||||
 |
This horse can really Piaffe ...
and this was the highlight of the test. I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of Lucas and Euphoria - Lucas told me that this was only their 4th start at Grand Prix. Well done - a score of 60.08% for 10th is a great effort. |

Victorian's Emma Youngman and
her lovely imported stallion Rasputin. Emma's music had a great beat with lots of percussion and tympany. Pan Pipes were introduced, and made for an interesting blend of sounds. |
||||||||||||
 |
Rasputin appeared to struggle
with the Piaffe and Passage sequences, which lacked lift and regularity. He is very young and is sure to improve. |
||||||||||||
 |
It was a great result for Emma
and her just 9 year old Rasputin. He will be one to watch in the future. They scored 60.13% for 9th place. |
