Night of Freestyles

Oct 28, 2012

Last night was the 'Night of Freestyles' at the Saddleworld Australian Dressage Championships.
Unfortunately, the number of spectators was slightly down on previous years. This was a shame as
the spectators are integral in making the event viable. They add to the atmosphere, spend money
in the trade village and more importantly they help spread the word about the world of dressage.
In saying that, the evening was enjoyed by all and there were plenty of beautiful horses to keep
us inspired.

The Hamilton Island Grand Prix Freestyle CDI-W wasn't as surprising in regards to the
placegetters. First place went to Maree Tomkinson on her incredibly popular mare, Diamantina IV,
scoring 69.450. Second went to David Shoobridge on the very accurate, 00 Seven (69.150) and
third went to Sheridyn Ashwood on the expressive stallion Prestige VDL (67.450). Fourth was
Heath Ryan on Regardez Moi scoring 67.275.
