ThinLine Dressage with Altitude CDI 3* Kicks off Thursday!

Rozzie Ryan will be competing at Dressage with Altitude on the fabulous GV Bullwinkle - who is currently listed for sale on Horsezone

With excellent entries received for the 2013 ThinLine Dressage with Altitude CDI 3* & CDI-Y (International Dressage Event), Bradgate Park in Orange, NSW, is again set for the influx of competitors over the four days of the event from February 14 to 17.

Competing in the Big Tour competitions will be Rozzie Ryan and GV Bullwinkle from NSW. This combination continues to enjoy great success but will be pushed to the limit by up and coming Queensland rivals Sheridyn Ashwood riding the impressive KWPN stallion Prestige VDL. Other hot competition includes David Shoobridge, Heath Ryan & Tor Van Den Berge on their successful imported Grand Prix Stallions.

The Small Tour Championship is a wide open affair with many promising horses vying for the title. The ever improving combinations of DP Weltmieser and Brett Parbery, Johnny Depp and Heath Ryan, Ferrero Rocher and Amanda Shoobridge will be prospects to watch at this level.

Also joining in the excitement of this boutique dressage event will be new major product sponsor – Guinot Australia, the international brand for skincare and beauty. Laura Pritchard, Beauty Expert from Guinot is delighted to be involved in this unique Australian dressage event and will be travelling from Melbourne, Victoria, to enjoy the experience and give support to all CDI competitions.

Following the ThinLine Grand Prix CDI 3*, the spectator gallery will also be treated to a more relaxed but very informative session – Pryde’s EasiFeed ‘Secret Men’s Business’ Dressage Masterclass – the brainchild of Brett Parbery (NSW), Tor Van Den Berge (QLD) and David Shoobridge (NSW). These elite riders are not only competition rivals but good friends and are keen to impart their knowledge - explaining, demonstrating and simplifying the training of today’s dressage horse from the young horse just starting out to the Grand Prix competition horse. A session not to be missed!

With strong support from Equestrian Australia, Equestrian NSW, the Australian Sports Commission, the NSW Government and Orange City Council, Dressage with Altitude CDI continues to be recognised as a “Tour de Force” in the Australian Dressage scene offering opportunity to the sport’s elite riders and encouraging emerging talent.

Horsezone is proud to be a sponsor of this prestigious event!
