Dave
Lever - pictured left with Rusty Morrison - was on hand to support
dad, Laurie Lever who was starting in todays world cup class with his and Colin
Gron's 8 year old Drossel Dan. |

Seating
at shows, Aussie style - pictured above - saw spectators enjoying
the sunshine while being able to get a birds eye view of the jumping. |

No
standing inside the truck at Aussie horse shows - to darned hot! |
|
|
|
And
stabling at Aussie shows is a little different to those in Europe and Ireland
-pictured below - in Australia riders arrive and build their own
yards, finding shade if possible and making use of the boundary fences when
able to! |

Shade
is important for those who don't want to roast in the hot Aussie sunshine -
pictured below |
|

|

|
|
And
for those who want to feel the warmth on their skin there was plenty of seating
around the main arena - pictured below - to give them good viewing
of the featured class of the weekend. |

The
class before the world cup qualifier, in ring two was the Young Rider class
and it was great to see Julia Hargreaves riding her mother's Copabella Visage
- pictured above right - , the gorgeous coloured stallion who
has captured the hearts of many breeders in Australia. Copabella Visage was
previously campaigned by Vicki Roycroft and Julia did a great job with him,
riding extremely well. |

The
Young Riders were certainly out in full force at Sale and showing their
Senior counterparts that they are serious about taking out top spots - in
the 1.30m class on Sunday first placing went to Young Rider, Hilary Scott
and Oaks Kool Bananas and the in-form Laurie Lever took out second placing
with his Dressage and Jumping With the Stars Champion of Champions, La Laina
- pictured left. |

The
little palomino - pictured right - had the coolest stable
on the grounds as he stood patiently all weekend waiting for people to buy
a raffle ticket to win him! |
|
|
 |
|

|

|
|
|
|
|

|
The
little maintenance free pony was being raffled to raise funds for the Gippsland
Cancer Care Centre and the raffle was being run by local Lions Club who hopefully
raised a pooper scopper barrow load of money for this very worthy cause. |
