Mary Hanna on Tango The Horseland 2008 EFA Dressage Championships is under way with some impressive results and surprises. Mary Hanna on her Grand Prix newcomer Tango V, took a narrow lead from Heath Ryan on Regardez Moi, Kate Taylor Wheat on Oscar B and Rachael Sanna on Jaybee Alabaster to win the Hamilton Island Grand Prix CDI-W. The Bates Grand Prix Freestyle will be the decider for the overall CDI-W winner and the closeness of the Grand Prix results promises an exciting Saturday evening.

Foreign Judge Cara Whitham (CAN) FEI O level Judge commented at the at the completion of the class, "I had Heath placed first. He rode bravely, his extendeds were good his piaffe and passage were good. His changes were a weak point. It was a beautifully presented and a bravely presented test. "Tango is a super talent, very willing but with a few rough edges. He is a real talent for the future, a lovely horse. Oscar B really impressed me, he was beautiful. He needs to be better balanced in his piaffe and more clearly diagonal. When he came into the arena he was such a nice picture I felt at ease!"

Heath Ryan riding Regardez Moi won the Bates Grand Prix Freestyle (71.550%) with Jaybee Alabaster and Rachael Sanna a very close second (71.450%) point one of one 1%.Cara Whitham, O level Judge from Canada and head of the Ground Jury for the CDI-W, made the following comments after the Bates Grand Prix Freestyle. “A good strong competition especially the top three horses. The decision in the freestyle was very close between Jaybee Alabaster and Regardez Moi with the strength of the piaffe, passage and pirouettes favouring Regardez Moi. Horses that I see for the future is Jaybee Alabaster (Rachael Sanna) and Oscar B (Kate Taylor Wheat) and Tango V (Mary Hanna). Australia has some outstanding young horses which bodes well for 2012. As usual the show was very well run with an excellent turn out of spectators and a full house for the Freestyle on Saturday evening”.
