The impeccably bred Richmeed
Medallion is by May Sherif (sire of Sven Rothenberger's Andiamo and Matador who was ridden
to World Cup victory by the wonderful Finish rider Kyra Kyrklund) Medallion is owned by Heath Ryan and ridden by Leesa Robinson. He is pictured here having his geat check. |
||||||||||||
 |
Leesa Robinson did a great job with just a few areas which need improvement. Richmeed Medallion finished with a score of 59.15% and 8th position. | ||||||||||||
 |
Grandien and Roonie Weeks cam
from South Australia be be part of the action. She had a terrible campaign - her
lovely grey Daktakapo (Daktylus/Gina) picked up something in his foot and was lame - she
did not get to ride him ... and Grandien was not 100% and did not want to drink. He was under daily Veterinary care. |
||||||||||||
 |
Grandien is a super type ...
Cleveland Bay cross by Osberton Goliath from Iownit. Roonie did a good job to keep him together Their score was disappointing as they had a good lead up to this competition. |

Maurice Bruce on the wonderful
Neversfelde Kudu - I could watch them all day. Kudu is by the imported Trakehner stallion Kassiber and from the Thoroughbred mare Space Hostess. It was a fluent, expressive and well ridden test with no real faults. They won the Intermediate 1 Champsionship with a score of 65.50% |
||||||||||||
 |
Kudu in action - Maurice and Jane Bruce bred the mare, which would make her great success very satisfying. | ||||||||||||
 |
Neversefelde Kudu is always well
engaged and very active - without these qualities the judges are reluctant to give high
marks. Congratulations to Maurice and Kudu - who now add the National Intermediate 1 Championship to their already impressive list of achievements.

Bellambrae Kepler was bred in
Balhannah in South Australia and Libby purchased him when she lived there and Kepler was a
youngster. She now resides in Queensland. Kepler is by the imported Trakehner stallion Copernicus and out of the mare Regal Quartet. There are three full brother os this breeding now competing at FEI - Malachite, Bellembrae Zircon and of course, Kepler. |
||||||||||||
 |
Regal Quartet competed until she
was 20, and then had Malachite at aged 21. This wonderful mare had 9 foals to
aged 30. I owned Malachite and trained him to PSG (this is why I know the story) Libby did a lovely job with Kepler to finish in 10th position with a percentage of 57.03% |
||||||||||||
 |
Frohlich by Falkrich from the
Monopol mare, Monodet. This powerfully built mare is owned by Zoe Andrews, and was
very capably ridden by Matthew Dowsley. She shows great talent in the collected work, and this ability is sure to take her on to Grand Prix. |
||||||||||||
 |
Frohlich and Matthew's test was flowing and forward ... and they were rewarded with 4th place on 63.15% | ||||||||||||
