Our first call of the day brought a moment that reminded us all just how brave and resilient riders can be. After an unlucky fall, Chloe Osborne showed incredible grit. She got up, dusted herself off, climbed back into the saddle\u2014and then went on to steal the show<\/em> in the next class, earning the highest score for her team with a brilliant 67.73%. A huge well done, Chloe. That\u2019s the spirit of the sport!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Team Quest riders, the Deepdene Diamonds, continued their fantastic season with yet another strong appearance. All riders come from the same yard and range from just 12 to 18 years old. It\u2019s a joy to see such young talent stepping up, supporting each other, and performing so well. The energy and enthusiasm were a delight to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were delighted to welcome a couple of first-time combinations to the dressage arena:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
A standout performance came from Daniel Davies on Rock Star, who certainly lived up to the horse\u2019s name. The pair had an exceptional day, taking 1st place in both Prelim 4 and Prelim 6 with scores of 68.75% and 70.00%. A superb achievement\u2014well done, Daniel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported riders, or simply came along to enjoy the atmosphere. It was fantastic to see such a great turnout and so many smiles throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t forget\u2014you can view and purchase all the photos from the event through Neil Lennon Photography. Be sure to check them out and celebrate those special moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can\u2019t wait to see you at our final unaffiliated dressage show of the year on the 13th of December. It\u2019s the perfect opportunity to get festive and come dressed in your best Christmas outfits!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
