Well, Sydney put on its best heat wave weather for East Coast this year with hot and humid days and nights. Our Italian judge, Irina Stigler had just come from a European winter but she loved the warm weather, although the finals night heat on the arena floor was challenging.

Saturday was all of the youth and non-professional classes. There was also an exhibition race between a thoroughbred and an Arabian, with a very informative talk on training the Arabian racehorse.

Our judges arrived for Saturday finals night in style in a baby blue convertible Mustang and a great display was put on by purebred stallion Fire Alert (TS Al Malik x Fire Flame) with the Australian flag and Fire’s Court Jester (Fire Alert x Jezzabeel) as a stockhorse. Tahlia Perry and the purebred gelding Just my Jullyen (Gai El Jullyen x Myriad Park Krystelle) wowed the crowd, riding bridleless throughout the ceremony.
