The New Zealand Dressage selectors have named 40 combinations to contest the 2012 NZL section of the FEI World Dressage Challenge in Taupo at the National Equestrian Centre on Saturday 10 November 2012.
New Zealand will be the first country to be judged this year so riders will just have to throw down the gauntlet and set some high scores for the other countries to chase in an effort to retain the team title.
The trot up will be on Friday afternoon 9th Nov following a practice run of the World Challenge test, and the competition which offers free admission, will begin at 8am in Saturday 10th . The prizegiving will be at 4pm followed by a video review of the day’s competition for riders, judges, coaches & all interested dressage enthusiasts
On Sunday 11 November 2012, the 16 best performed riders will be luck enough to receive a one on one training session with one of the World Challenge judges. These sessions are free to watch for all interested
"Dressage wishes to thank the sponsors for this event , primarily the FEI who organise the competition and sponsor the international judges travel, the Lion Foundation who have granted funding to support the event and the class sponsors for each section of the event," said the press officier of the New Zealand Equestrian Federation.
The FEI World Dressage Challenge aims to give the less experienced dressage riders who, under normal circumstances, cannot take part in international Dressage competitions and live in the more remote countries, the opportunity to compete internationally without having to leave their own country.
