team competition which combined individual scores. With the pace set at sizzling 450/m per minute, not a single competitor made the time after having to restrain speed during the arena phase of competition. Each fence knocked down added 4 time penalties, so winning was a case of speed versus clear round. In the end, Michael Dagostino and Kendlestone Park Golden conquered the course with one rail down in a time of 1.19.90, closest to the optimum time of 1.04. Darren Taylor and Barrabadeen Cougar, well-known as speed specialists, were placed second and had the only individual showjumper’s placing. As for the teams, first place went to Eventers II, comprised of Kathryn McNee (Underwood), Lindsay Honey (Bindaboo), Sophie Warren (Let’s Impress) and Michael Dagostino (Kendlestone Park Golden) with second awarded to the showjumping team of Darren Taylor (Barrabadeen Cougar), Caitlin Bolger (Danzastar), Hanna Fletcher (Thundersmile) and Rick Dabner (HR Fancy That). With the obvious enjoyment of riders and spectators, it’s a given that the event will return next year. Cheryl Campbell from Horseland with Sophie Warren on Lets Impress. Lindsay Honey on Bindaboo.
