WHILE male riders dominated the higher-graded classes at Hazeldene (1) last Saturday, they hardly got a look-in down the levels.

In the restricted EI100 classes, the reigning Amateur champions, Samantha Dale and her Irish Sport Horse mare Threeseas, a 14-year-old daughter of Ars Vivendi, were a second over the time across the country but, on 21.7 penalties, still held off their 15 rivals. The only combination to complete on their dressage score were Aimee Webb and Imperial Matriach (24.8) who finished fourth.
