This class was a testament to the impact that quality international bloodlines have made to the Australian pony population. No longer do we see 'clumpy' heavy ponies with laboured movement and course in type! The ponies in this class could be miniature hacks - of the most outstanding quality - and they moved like small dressage horses. I am sure that most of you will be aware of the EFA Dressage Sub-Committee's plans to introduce classes for ponies - and this ring had many individuals who would make their mark in this new discipline. |
