On Sunday 18th<\/sup> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prelim 7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Judge: Chloe Denny<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st<\/sup> Amy Tickle and Jackson Carlos 66.59% (69)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd<\/sup> Madison Martin and Bunbury Sultan 66.36% (68)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd<\/sup> Beccy Lines and Bubbaroo UK 64.315 (66)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4th<\/sup> Susan Peters and Skeheen Silver Fox 62.73% (63)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5th<\/sup> Shirley Stewart and Castlemaine Patch 62.27% (62)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6th<\/sup> Stacey Ward and Dali High Hopes 61.36% (61)<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next class was Prelim 12 and was another very well subscribed class.
