Speedgate’s Unaffiliated Dressage Results

Sunday 31st October 2021

Sunday 31st October proved to be a challenging day for our final unaffiliated dressage event of the season.

The rain was relentless in the morning, but our competitors that did come forward were not going to be deterred. Having won the first class of the day, Erin Shepherd was the first rider to head down the centre line for the Prelim 13 class.

Erin and Rhylmeena Saffron completed a lovely test to finish on a score of 67.12%. This score was going to be enough to gain them a second victory of the day. Not too far behind them and finishing in second place was Kerry Stanley and Gwyllan Chardonnay, who after a long break was keen to get back to competing again and finished on a score of 65.38%.
