Wendy Hamerton

WELCOME TO THE BONUS ISSUE OF THE DRESSAGENZ BULLETIN Celebration is about NOW so we just couldn’t wait until the end of November to share the success of the four inspirational events that captured our attention during October.

A huge thanks to Heritage Equine for teaming up with us to bring you this Bulletin Bonus Issue and enabling us to share not only the performances, but also the way of life and character that our photographers captured.

The Dressage NZ Facebook page enjoyed an unprecedented 35,000 post reaches during the final week of the events, indicative of the fan base and increasing interest in dressage.

Each event had something special to celebrate The Boeckmann North Island Championships attracted so many entries that there was a wait list AND there were 16 entries at Grand Prix level - not all started in the end, but they’re out there. More riders learning to train to this level is what we need to develop more depth. It’s not necessarily about having the best moving horse in the beginning. It’s about learning the trade.

The NZL team takes a commanding lead in the FEI World Dressage Challenge world rankings at the Pryde’s Easifeed NZL event from 21 other nations who have competed to date.

A third CDIW/Y on the NZL calendar gave riders the opportunity to qualify for the PAL final and gain World ranking points. Young rider Lucarne Dolley rocked up to number 70 in the world and Wendi Williamson and Abbie Deken are closing ranks on Julie Brougham and John Thompson Amateur Championships are now firmly established and Central Districts Championships enjoyed record entries - again there was a wait list Dressage NZ indubitably recognises the investment and support of all the sponsors who supported these events - without you it is impossible. Thank you.

The contribution of time and expertise from officials and volunteers is outstanding - again it is impossible without you.

To all the riders who helped in any way - thank you, and to those who participated and perhaps gave inspiration or guidance in some big or small way to another rider, don’t underestimate how powerful that can be.

We’ll be back again later in November
