The Australian Title wrap up
So the 2011 and Australian titles have graced us again, and it was to Dubbo we go, so we packed up on Wednesday with the team of 5 horses being Zulu Zenith, Lovesong, Quantum and Big Higgs.
The venue was great and all was set for the four days of competition. The grounds and the courses were wonderful and a great competition was set to take place.
So day one appears being a speed day, on us and our first horse to compete was Twins Zulu, in the D Grade qualifier. Zulu having his first outing in a while as we have been busy with the older horses, so Zulu jumped a great round to have just 3 green fences down and Danielle was pleased with his efforts.
Then it was a short lunch break, and Danielle got set for the Breeders plate with Big Higgs and the 130 with Quantum.
So Danielle walked the course for the Australian senior title class Big Higgs jumped a great round with just one down adding time to his final score being a speed class, so it was to Quantum who jumped a great clear round, in great style.
The futurit, course was set and we had both Lovesong and Zenith. Both horses jumped clear to be minor placed, so it was to bed the horses went.
Day two came and we started with the D Grade second round qualifier with Zulu having just the 3 rails again, was great, being that the fences were quite large and the horses hasn’t been out for a while so we were happy with him.
So it was to the second round of the Australian senior title with Big Higgs. Toby jumped clean and the second round was against the clock Danielle had a clear round to put her in 5th place to qualify her in 10th spot for the senior title class on Sunday.
The next class was the second round of the futurity with Zenith and Lovesong. With Danielle having a minor mishap on Lovesong being eliminated, Zenith jumped a super clear round.
