Last to work out for the coveted award of
VASA Champion Saddle Horse is
Sunday Morning and Jessica McMahon.

 

hackfinal3802.jpg (15802 bytes) Sunday Morning did not look to be 100% happy (but I am sure the weather could be responsible for this) and the work lacked the polish of some.
hackfinal3803.jpg (23877 bytes) There were no real mistakes, but a bit more flair would have made more of an impact.

Jessica would have been very please with her achievements today as she was the Champion Rider 18-21 years.

Congratulations Gary and Brian.

Erte also won this event last year.

Erte will take part at the Sydney Easter Royal Show after which he will be retired to eat grass and catch the occasional cow.

Geraldine was so very proud of Erte and acknowledged the wonderful job that Maree Tomkinson has done with the horse.
