The Grand Pavilion at Melbourne Showgrounds hosted Australia's top dressage riders for the first time at EQUITANA 2012 early on Friday when the Be the Influence Equestrian Grand Final CDI-W Grand Prix was contested.

The Grand Prix acts as a qualifier for Saturday’s Freestyle and the winner of this class will walk away with the title of Grand Final Champion.    

Defending champions Heath Ryan and Regardez Moi have asserted their claim for a second consecutive crown after winning the Grand Prix ahead of London Olympic combination Mary Hanna and Sancette. The Beijing Olympian and his 16 year old stallion scored 66.830% which was enough to edge out Mary and Sancette's score of 66.021%.

The top ranked combination leading into the final, David Shoobridge and OO Seven, scored 64.638% to finish in third position.
