Wonderful<br />

WANDIN<br />

Natalie’s efforts in the end put her up to<br />

third place, an outstanding finish given she<br />

was in 9th place after the dressage! Andrew<br />

Cooper was next on Natalie’s heels with 6<br />

minutes and 41 seconds across country, and<br />

he and Evergem Perfection took out fourth.<br />

Will’s greay, Britannica, took 10.4 time<br />

penalties, and despite a fifth place dressage<br />

finish, squeezed into second spot.<br />

Victorious! Seamus Marwood & Wild Oats<br />

But none could catch Seamus Marwood,<br />

and his mare Wild Oats. <strong>The</strong>ir cross country<br />

round looked composed, as the seasoned<br />

competitor piloted his mare around the<br />

course and made it look like a walk in the<br />

park! <strong>The</strong> pair finished in 6 minutes and<br />

48 seconds, earning 11.2 time penalties<br />

- but combined with their second place<br />

dressage score and only one rail down in<br />

the showjumping, it all made for a winning<br />

performance!<br />

Better yet - the dates for the 2017 Wandin<br />

Park International Horse Event have been<br />

announced - March 18th & 19th 2017, so<br />

mark it in your diary now - we’ll see you on<br />

course!<br />
