Friday,
August 4, 2006 - The First Day of Dressage Several
members of Squads named for the World Equestrian Games are using The Festival
of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park as a final run before Aachen. Gatcombe is
the estate of HRH Anne The Princess Royal. Among those of interest who completed
their Dressage on Friday were: Great
Britain's Zara Phillips and Toytown who led Section 1 after Dressage. Zara is,
of course the daughter of Captain Mark Phillips, the Team Coach for the USA and
his former wife, Anne The Princess Royal. Heelan
Tompkins and Glengarrick, equal fourth in Advanced Section 1, will represent New
Zealand. Glengarrick is now an evergreen 19 years old. He and Heelan competed
at the Rolex Kentucky CCI****, in 1999, and were the highest placed Kiwis at the
Athens Olympic Games in 2004. Daisy
Dick and Spring Along, seventh in Section 1, are named to the British Squad for
the WEG. Cindy
Rawson, ninth in Section 1, is an American ex-patriot who resides in England.
Ashdale David's Way belongs in part to Bob and Sally Futh. Amy
Tryon, an impressive equal second in Section 2, has just aquired the ride on Le
Samurai and has him in England with her
as they prep for a fall CCI.
Caroline
Powell and Lenamore are named to the New Zealand Squad for Aachen. (Caroline
and Lenamore are pictured at the right at the Vickarage Vee at the Mitsubishi
Motors Badminton CCI**** where they finished 36th.)
