The Advanced classes do not seem to be given the support that this important class deserves.  I am sure this is because the standard and level of training that is required is very similar to the Prix St Georges.  There appears to be a greater sense of satisfaction and achievement for riders to do the latter test - and this makes the numbers at Advanced a little 'light on'. 

I think that when next the EFA are revising the tests, there should be some consideration paid to this trend,  and the requirements made a little more clear with a definite step up to the FEI levels..

Torlea Evaluation takes a break before he takes part in the Advanced ring - he was the winner of the 5A class.	Winner of the 5C was Northern Delphinius and Debra Court - they are pictured here at the recent National Dressage Championships.
Heidi Davidson and Northern Adonis a horse who started his training with Natalie Frew and associates.	Roger & Anne Devney with Heidi Davidson (right) - all very keen to be involved in the progress of  Adonis.
Edrom Park Thomas and Michelle Oliver have gradually worked their way up the ladder and did some very impressive work to be third in the 5C	Guy Noir and Chartlotte Pedersen, who has taken over the ride on Joanna Clarkes imported gelding, while she is busy with studies and career.
Fiona McNaught and Balmoral Ice have had a very good season and Fiona is to be congratulated for her achievements as a Young Rider.  Balmoral Ice is still getting established at this level and Fiona's instructor Michael Baker has been very helpful and supportive.
