Following the morning's preliminary judging for approximately 50 New season's horses, these final 10 came through for the afternoon final round. The top ten horses were presented beautifully and belied their lack of experience. I was delighted to see the judges rewarding the soft going horse with correct basics. All the riders are to be commended for a job very well done. |

Newcomer horse Kushla was quite distracted and gave his rider a few problems - and lived up to his stable name of "Blooper" | ||||
 |
Kushla was very nice when he allowed his rider Jack, to influence his frame and rhythm. | ||||
 |
Stage Idol and Rebecca Farrow - Stage Idol showed his inexperience by lugging somewhat, but I am sure his experienced and talented rider will sort this our in his early training. | ||||

Di Barnes aboard JHB Marlborough
- Di demonstrated her experience and ringcraft as she asked this attractive horse to
move out and show his scopey paces. As a racehorse he was trained by veteran trainer Jim Houlahan who put him over the hurdles. He is owned by B & A Johnstone. |

 |
Pranc- owned by Chad
Cunliffe and ridden by Michael Christie. He is obviously young and needs to get a little stronger. |
||||
 |
I understand that Chad Cunliffe lives in the UK ... and hope that he enjoys these pictures of his lovely Newcomer Horse. | ||||
 |
Sanlirra Ambassador and Shelley Penny - Shelley won the Champion Senior Rider at this competition, and is sure to take this horse to the top. | ||||
 |
State Occassion
really looked the goods and worked very well for his owner rider Megan Bullet. The top ten were all beautiful and so Megan would have been pleased with this result. |
||||
 |
Talka - so named because of the 'funny talking habit' with his bottom lip - he was very non 'vocal' in his work for Shae Hanger. | ||||
