Tim Boland and GV Billy Elliott at Sydney Eventing Summer Fundraiser
Although they do say ‘it’s not a dressage competition’ the dressage phase plays an important part in eventing and puts the serious contenders in a good position for the all important cross country
RM Williams CIC3* dressage takes place on Friday morning and we saw two of the hot favourites from NSW, Tim Boland and Christine Bates, in action at the Sydney Eventing Summer Fundraiser last weekend
Here is how they looked on the two experienced campaigners GV Billy Elliott and Adelaide Hill
In the Mitsubishi CCI4*Katie Taliana and Trevalgar II are expected to be up there after the first phase – here they are strutting their stuff at Sydney where Katie said that Trevalgar was ‘very fresh!’
‘He’ll be better after a few days of settling in at Adelaide!’
