Sunday 18th August 2019
On Sunday 18th August we had our Unaffiliated Dressage show, and the weather was going to throw all sorts of conditions at us. With two Prelim and two Novice classes to get through, we got the day got underway with the Prelim 7 class. Amy Tickle and her young horse Jackson Carlos produced a lovely test to finish on a score of 66.56%. The very last combination of the day was Madison Martin and the super smart Bunbury Sultan. This combination produced a wonderful test to finish on a score of 66.36%, just 0.23% behind Amy, so giving Amy the first victory of the day.
