Excitement brewing for Hagans Crofts Dressage Final

The intro class was low in numbers but talent was aplenty with the top three competitors scoring 71% and above.

Not much separated Edna Lyness and Kristen Kleinman with the pair achieving 72% and above. Edna and 'Thunder' just had the edge with 72.83% and came home with the red ribbon. This meant that Kristen and 'Guest' came second with their score of 72.39%.

Mary Hamill Booth and 'Don Franco' had a very successful day as they saluted to their score of 69.79%.

Mary was over the moon with her Christmas themed red rosette Clare Steele and 'Marvel' were out getting some practice in for the eventing season of 2024. The pair achieved a top score of 77.41% and first place in the prelim class.

Sarah Turley and 'Ronaldo' claimed the blue Christmas rosette with a score of 75%. This has set them up well for the prelim league placings.

Ciarrai Rice and 'Lady J' has the red rosette in the bag within the Novice class, 69.58% took the win. It was lovely to see Robyn McMurray back out competing at this venue.

Robyn and 'Rocco Banana Man' took first place in the elementary class with 72.66% with some lovely comments from judge Lucinda Webb - 'A well presented and balance test, showing good transitions in and out of paces'.
