Fiona Hughes on her charming mare Enchanted.  I found myself drawn to the side of the ring where Fiona warmed up this lovely horse.  She can REALLY move, with flashy extensions and bold forward paces - she will be hard to beat.  Enchanted put the other on notice when she placed 3rd at the 2003 Sydney CCFI*** - with such dressage potential she is one to watch.  I was a little surprised to hear that Fiona and Enchanted were 7th on 52.0 - but warm up-s often go better than the real thing!

Ian Balfour on his consistent horse - The King's Romance.  He told me later that the horse was not quite right and they withdrew prior to the showjumping.

Eliza Jane and Pongsiree Bunluewong were not strong in the Dressage - they scored 63.5 for 17th place after this first of three phases.  This combination had it all to do!  With a fantastic CC and SJ round they took out 5th position overall - a great effort.

Christopher Burton and his Deo Juvante come to this event with some impressive peformances behind them
He is seen on the left reporting to the 'gear check' Marshall and on the right in a soft and forward canter - right.  They scored 47.0 for 4th place after the dressage.

Malia Chappell on Toy Boy - this combination were not string in the Dressage but absolutely blitzed in the Showjumping - Toy Boy is a jumping machine.   Their score in this phase was 61.1 and gave them 15th place.

Emma Mason on Starstruck looked the part - they scored 53.7 which gave them 9th position after the 1st phase.
