Open Novice & Championship
Story and Pictures by Berni Saunders

It was great to see the AWHA (Australian Warmblood Horse Association) get behind this event as so many of our promising young Dressage horses have Warmblood origins.  All over the world, the sport of Dressage is dominated by Warmbloods and most enthusiasts realise that the ideals of the breed made them a very suitable horse to train.  At this competition the trend continued and  most of the major awards went to Warmblood horses.  Many Warmblood enthusiasts - particularly those not involved in breeding see performance events as the way to prove their youngsters and in recent years show classes have not been as popular among those dedicated to training and competing horses in Dressage or  Showjumping. By sponsoring this event and becoming involved the Victorian Branch of the AWHA show their commitment and support of Warmblood  owners and of course they have a first hand involvement with the performance breeds that are making their mark on the local scene. Unfortunately I was not able to get a lot of pictures of these classes, The Victorian Dressage Festival is a huge event with many rings and it is  impossible to be near all rings simultaneously.  Congratulations to Sally Latona who became the Novice Champion and also to Cheryl Young  for her win in the 2.2 class.  Cheryl is a talented rider and trainer and always competes well.
