In the Intro class, Rachel Leonard and Zara rode a very impressive test to claim the red ribbon, while Judith Auten rode into second place on Kevin.

The Prelim class was the largest class of the day with 20 competitors.

After a very competitive class, the was no separating the scores for first placing.

Therefore joint first was Colin Halliday on The Irish Factor and Lynsey Sneddon on Kenny. In the Novice class Colin Halliday came home with another red ribbon, this time on horse Dancing Fox with a score of 71.61%.
