Greenoaks Dundee must just hate being the stable mate of Legend, as this is a
really great horse which is overshadowed by a real superstar. Dundee performed very
well for Heath Ryan to come 3rd. overall from the fantastic field of quality
6 year olds.

Relaxes in his free walk after a very polished performance by the 'Master Showman'
Heath Ryan.
Carbine (by Carbid - same sire as Cinderella)
was very well ridden for great results for owner Bev Edwards - another top stallion for
that state - They finished 3rd in the 5 yo class.
Carbine ridden by young FEI rider Ben Conn. This is a very imposing horse and
would have added to his list of potential girlfriends.
Stable mate of Carbine was Jaybee Leuwin. He was also well ridden by Ben Conn.
Leuwin is out of the same mare as Bev Edwards lovely stallion Aachimedes (sire of
3-4 yo winner, Accomplice) so Bev has her hands full of wonderful dressage horses - half
her luck! Leuwin finished one place ahead of the other Jaybee horse - Jaybee
Anzac, on 7th place.

Greenoaks Legend
is indeed a Legend.
He won the 5 year old class in 1999 and has gone on to win the 6 year old class in
2000 - and the Champion of Champion award. Imported by Clyde Wunderwald as a
youngster, he is by Le Beau out of a mare by Wiesenbaum.
Heath Ryan deserves special recognition for his part
in this horse's outstanding performance.
Heath's expertise encouraged every gram of talent that was available to him, to
create for me (and many others) a similar image of the one given at the 2000 Olympics by
the fabulous Fahbenfroh.
Sincere congratulations to Legend, Heath and
Clyde Wunderwald for their contribution to Australian Dressage.

WP Sinantra a flashy young horse ridden by Mark Kiddle for owner Judy Rattray.
This horse moves freely and looks a joy to ride - they finished 6th. in the 3 &
4 year old class - a great result.
AEA Flemmington by Dutch stallion Flemmingh was nicely ridden by Dutch working
pupil Esther Vinju. It was Esther's last weekend in Australia, having spent 6 months
with the Dijkstra's at Burong. They have really enjoyed her input and will miss her. Here
they perform the rein-back.
