Bermuda’s dressage season came to a satisfying conclusion with solid performances achieved at the Caribbean Equestrian Association Dressage Competition at the National Equestrian Centre last weekend.

The competition is unique as it enables riders from CEA countries to compete against each other without having to travel overseas.

An appointed judge travels to each of the competing islands to officiate at the CEA dressage shows.

This year’s event is being judged by Brenda Minors of Canada.

Bermuda riders competed in dressage tests ranging from Training Level through to Intermediate One. Competitors are ranked both individually and by country team.

This year’s adult team comprised of Abby Bardgett riding Up Up & Away, Dawn Fox on Lancelot and Angela Halloran-Smith riding Finnomenal AV.

Members of the children’s team included Kayla Bardgett riding Causing Chaos, Kelsey Amos on Wiratoro and Jess Hosier riding Just Pete.

The highest adult score was awarded to Abby Bardgett riding Up Up & Away, a score of 70 per cent, while her daughter, Kayla Bardgett, achieved the highest overall score, as well as the highest children’s score of the day, a score of 72 per cent.

The final country and individual standings will be determined once all participating countries have completed their competitions.
