All the Kiwi eventers have flown through the first horse inspection at the Mitsubishi Motors Australian International 3 Day Event in Adelaide.
Flying the New Zealand flag at the only CCI5*-L event in the Southern Hemisphere are Amanda Pottinger (Havelock North) aboard Just Kidding, Bundy Philpott (Cambridge) with Tresca NZPH, Diane Gilder (Auckland) with Your Attorney and Aussie based Kiwi Hayley Frielick with Class Action LP.
Competing in the CCI4*-S is Madison Crowe aboard Waitangi Pinterest with Hayley aboard Dunedin the Brave and Dunedin the Black and Amalia Rowley on Mexico II in the CCI3*-L.
ESNZ high performance eventing manager Graeme Thom said all eight New Zealand combinations looked in great shape and he was looking forward to the competition. “The organising committee has made their traditional strong effort at making everyone feel welcome and the table for a wonderful event is well set,” he said.
“All reports are that the course will provide great challenges and we look forward to walking it as a group.”
The dressage for the 3* starts today with the 4* and 5* combinations having their arena familiarisation this evening and their dressage tomorrow.
