NEWS - BRITISH DRESSAGE
PARADRESSAGE
The Paradressage results were really positive for British
breeding. The Grade III section had a 1,2 with the winner
being Erin Orford and Dior UKH, the third time the pair have
taken this title. Dior is yet another National Champion sired
by Dimaggio. The European Championship gold medallists
Georgia Wilson and Midnight continued their winning run
with a win in the Grade II with the highest score of all five
sections. Midnight is a daughter of the pony stallion Hilkens
Black Delight. The part bred Connemara Strong Beau was
the winner of the Grade I section ridden by Gabriella Blake
and is by Spinway Blackthorn.
Young Horse Classes
The young horse classes always showcase some fabulous
young British talent and although we can only claim one
National title this year, there were some real future talents
on display. Last year’s National Four Year Old Champion
repeated that feat in the Five Year section this year. Hawtins
Lirica is by the Londonderry son Lemony’s Nicket out of a
daughter of Dimaggio. Lirica and regular rider Lucinda Elliot
were selected for the Young Horse World Championships in
Ermelo earlier this year and with her big engine and forward
thinking nature, will no doubt be a short priced favourite to
take a third title next year.
This year’s Four Year Old Champion was the German bred
Sezuan daughter Special Diva, but filling the next two places
were British bred horses. Bryony Goodwin rode Hawtins
Floresta to second place, a Follow Me half sister to the dam
of British team horse Hawtins Delicato. In third was Greg
Simms and Waverley Fellini (Furstenball x Sandro Hit), bred
by Sara Longworth.
In the Six Year Old section, Hawtins Stud again bred the
runner up. This was Hawtins Quattro by Quasar De Charry
out of the Belissimo daughter Hawtins Belladonna. Hannah
Biggs was victorious in the class with the German bred
Foundation son Freeman.
