Dabrijo Merlin and Samantha Hain
from NSW - this is a lovely honest horse who seemed to try so hard. He is by the Moselfischer (Hannovarian) stallion Moselklute by Stirling Fair. The Piaffe is not yet adequately established for high marks and he seemed to anticipate when they were coming up! Some irregular steps spoiled the half pass. I felt that this horse was not always correctly into the bridle. |

Dabrijo Merlin and Samantha
Hain. The horse is only 10 years old and has the potential to improve. I am sure that Samantha will be working to create better collection and self carriage and her horse will earn many more marks with improvement to this aspect. They scored 57.85% |

HRH and Claire Wickens by Melody
Contact ll from the Pfrinzen mare Piaffe. He was bred by David and Leonie Quick from Isle of Wight Farm. HRH has the most wonderful canter and is difficult to beat on a good day. But like so many of the really talented horses he can put in a bad performance. |

Today it was a nice test ... and
a step up from PSG/Inter 1 - the level at which the horse is very secure. The first canter pirouette seemed to lack preparation and did not work at all, the second was better. The tempi changes were very expressive but contained mistakes. |

HRH & Claire Wickens. The test was quality enough to see Claire in the placings, with 60.34%. They have great potential to improve at the highest level. |

A beaming Di Jenkyn could not
have been more pleased with the performance of Snowy River Blackwood. A National Title is a great achievement and theirs was a well deserved win. Congratulations Di and Blackwood. |
