Young Riders competing at the European Championships......it was great to attend the event, and be able to compare the horses and riders in Germany with the horses and riders from Australia. I have heard many opinions from others who have travelled to Germany, but to see it for myself was a fantastic opportunity.
We had many lectures from both judges and riders alike, which I found invaluable. Listening to the international judges really gave me an insight into what they are looking for in a test, and what I should be working towards at home.
Dimity and Sarah posing with a Moped in the streets of Heidelberg (showing off newly purchased jackets - the shop assistant informs me she thought she'd never move those green ones, she was pleased an Australian had come into the shop, and frankly she found it moved!)
