With 211 riders, 260 horses and over 800 dressage tests the weekend is expected to be huge, especially after so much uncertainty over the past few years with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Already on Thursday afternoon the Bendick Murrell grounds were awash with horsefloats and trucks as horses and riders began to set up for the massive weekend ahead.

There will be five arenas running on Friday with locals and visitors alike competing in a range of events.

Ring two will have the Closed Unrestricted Young Rider Prep A running being judged by Jenny Day before it switches to the Closed Unrestricted Freestyle to be judged by Jodie Dunstan.

With a number of local riders as well as those from across the state and country it is expected to be a fantastic day on the sand, especially for the free style which is very popular for both spectators and competitors alike and has been dedicated to Kim Lang, an avid local equestrian who passed away recently.

There is also one team entered in the very clever Pas de Deux, which is where two or more horse and rider combinations complete a dressage test together, usually to music and usually in costume at the Young event.

At 5.20pm this afternoon YV QUANTUM OF SOLACE ridden by Karen Poulter and ATOMIX FU MANCHU ridden by Emma Ward will be in Arena 2.
