1st day of dressage!!!!!

Well we are in the lead after day one. Clayton took the early lead
with a great test.

There was no doubt in most peoples mind that Lucinda would beat
Clayton and possibly even kick his butt but Little Brit was just
magnificant her flying changes were awesome she got two 10's. Even
sown of the dressage riders that were watching were jealous of the
changes.

The American girl Gina Miles gave us all a big scare with her test
which was brilliant and was beating Clayton until her flying changes
which were woeful, thankfully. We have really been talig the piss put
of both the Pommy and US spectators and official nothing like a bit of
rivalry.

The dressage started with a US rider taking 2nd place from Clayton.
Then Megan and Jester followed immediately and for most of the test
were slightly in front of Lucinda. I guess in the end those tens of
Little Brits really did make the difference.

But Jeater is a DUDE!!!!!!! I have never seen anybody enter the arena
so quickly Megan was so keen she almost took out the stewards on the
gate.

The final test of the night was a Belgium rider who pulled of an
awesome test to take second place.

So at the end of day one Australia is leading by nearly 20 points with
Lucinda in outright 1st. Megan in 3rd and Clayton in 5th. Tomorrow
morning we have another early start Sonja is on at 7am Shane at about
9am.

It's 11pm and I'm ok the bus to go back home.

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!!!!!!!!!!
