It was a cloudy morning but a sunny afternoon drawing both competitors and spectators to watch, compete and even do a little post-Christmas shopping in the trade village during day three of the 2 Construct Victorian Youth Dressage Championships.

The championship results Saturday were:

Ella Robinson and her gorgeous Carool Furst Denali won the Mornington Toyota Novice Championship with Jasmine Abernethy and TS Wildchild claiming Reserve Champion.

Ella Robinson also won the Taylor Farley Memorial Award for being the highest placed Novice competitor under the age of 18. Being a previous recipient of this special award, it was lovely to catch up with Taylor’s parents once again.
