15 YO Dimity LOUREY riding Hollybrook Boston (Kaliber X Karens Image) made a great start. Unfortunately after the fist segment of two track work the centre line judge Cara Whitham from Canada felt that Boston was not travelling perfectly evenly and stopped the test. Dimity reports that the horse was fine when he returned to the stables and was fit and well on Sunday. So a minor faulter ended Dimity's freestyle ride. |
