BATES NATIONAL DRESSAGE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2020: Sunday Roundup

Melissa Galloway (Marlborough) sealed her claim on the Bates Grand Prix Championship title today with her win in the Martin Collins NZ Grand Prix Special aboard Windermere JObei W (72.064%). This combination continued their total domination at this level by remaining unbeaten in all three tests. Reserve went to William Millar (Waikato) and Raukura Satori MH.

It was Lilly Jefferies (Palmerston North) all the way for the Young Rider title after her second win today in the BV Contracting Young Rider Individual test. It’s evident that she has forged a great partnership with Lindisfarne Laureate, the pair now into their second season together. Waikato rider Anna Wilson rode into the Reserve spot with Neversfelde Rupert.

It was a close call for the Bates Small Tour title, which went to Vanessa Way (Taranaki) and NSC Timbermill Prequel, finishing just half a point in front of Reserve Kallista Field (Pahiatua) and Felix Westfalia. Gaylene Lennard (Waikato) and Jax Johnson were undisputed Champions in the Bates Medium Tour, with Wendi Williamson (Auckland) and Don Vito MH taking Reserve.

The Medium Championships were also decided today, Kathryn Corry (Piopio) and Ganache MH crowned with the Fiber Fresh Amateur title, and the Bates Open going to Ottilie Upshall (Rotorua) and Mistadobalina after two strong wins in the qualifying rounds. 

Greer Caddigan (Waikato) and Ricker Ridge Pico Boo took out the Elite Frozen Foals Amateur Championship for Advanced Medium, while the Bates Open for this same level was claimed by Far North rider Casey Burton and Fanfare MH. The title for the Bates Open Advanced went to Morgan Beere (Waikato) and Redwood Furst Affair – a huge achievement for this 19-yr-old rider who started and produced this mare herself.
