The weather provided one of the biggest challenges at the Livamol FEI Dressage World Challenge at McLean’s Island

The trot up was held on a glorious autumn Canterbury afternoon but overnight the predicted southerly struck leaving the arenas awash causing some mayhem for the first riders.
Conditions improved slightly for the the team competitors in the afternoon, but the mounted prizegiving was  rescheduled to the marquee.
Congratulations  to all riders who braved the day, representing NZL both as team and individual competitors 

NZL was the first country to compete in the 2019 Challenge so now we wait for results of the other nations
