| The final horse and the presentations of the Grand Prix Kür ...brings to a close a fantastic evening at the 2001 National Dressage Championships. | |||||||||||||

The Grand Prix
Freestyle ride by Heath Ryan and Stirling Stilton was an absolute treat as seldom in
Australia do we see riders who are prepared to take big risks. We are mostly a
conservative lot ... Not Mr Ryan! He asked Stilton to make the extra effort in every movement and it worked very well for them |
||||||||||||
 |
Heath's riding has
improved greatly and I am told that he has been spending quite a bit of time with Harry
Boldt - and it shows! GV Stirling Stilton would have given owner Peter Bunn a thrill, as the performance was absolutely up to international standard. |

Heath and Stilton
went for the big risk movements and pulled them off. The crowd were delighted to see
the one handed circles of one times flying changes - a very difficult exercise - and they
did it! Well done Heath, you work very hard and deserve the success. A fantastic score of 69.78% and 1st. place. |

warmly congratulated by Kevin Browning a Senior Executive from The Peter Warren Group, who
not only sponsored this event, but were the main sponsor for the entire 2001 Australian
Dressage Championships. vPlease do not forget them when you are looking for a new car. |

Heath Ryan and GV
Stirling Stilton - The 11 year old gelding is by the imported Dutch stallion, Saulte and
from the mare Lieica Park. Stilton was bred by Heath, and is now owned by Peter Bunn ... dad of Olympic shortlisted rider Olivia Bunn. Peter was himself an Olympic prospect in his eventing 'hey day' and it would be wonderful to be involved with two such talented riders as Heath and Olivia. |

Kevin Browning - a Senior Executive from The Peter Warren Group were wonderful sponsors. They went to an enormous effort to place signage (and shade) all around the outside arenas and had an awesome collection of the most beautiful cars. I am sure that their efforts will be rewarded. | ||||||||||||
