The Virtual Equestrian - Hidden Valley Equestrian Championships 2003 - Open Hack Final Round

DAVIS SANDERS HOMES HIDDEN VALLEY EQUESTRIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS Northern Highway, Wallan Sat. 25th & Sun. 26th January, 2003 Open Hack - Final Round Highlights - Page 2
The top 10 Open Hacks at this years Hidden Valley are positively gorgeous and reflect the expertise and dedication of the people who source these horses in their 'raw' state and then get to work with feed, grooming and training in order to produce the quality that stands before us. I was quite dazzled by these beautiful creatures.

Lemrac's Dancing Poet has taken every top award in his few short years on the 'scene'. Today he looked a little flat and lacked the sparkle that is usually present. The previous day was one of the hottest days on record with the mercury climbing to 44.1 at Hidden Valley - I am sure Poet was still recovering.

Titanic who is most known as 'Elroy' is a striking horse who rarely takes a bad picture. His work today lacked smoothness and I wondered if he was feeling the ground like some of the other horses. A top 10 finish in this company is a great result.

Caroline Wagner gives WS Black Label a reassuring pat before they set off to try and take out the 2003 Hidden Valley Championship. She has only had Black Label for 3 months and must be commended for establishing such a great rapport with the horse in such a short time. It is obvious that she loves this horse and equally obvious that HE knows it! - After a beautiful flowing workout - they were the Champions. Congratulations on a job well done!
