PORT Royal EC had their largest entries yet for the British dressage competition held there last Sunday, so much so, that their weekly unaffiliated showjumping in the other arena had to be cancelled to make space for more dressage entrants.

There were more than 15 different tests on offer over all the levels, and with most of the competitors probably having already qualified for the summer regional finals at the venue on August 7 to 9, the competitors would most likely be giving their horses a chance to get the feel of the arenas in readiness for the regionals.

The highest marks of the day came from West Yorkshire judge Lynne Tolan, who took a liking to the consistently placed Flayne Dandini ridden by Maureen Lennon, in the restricted prelim tests, gaining more than 72 per cent in both tests to win.

Fiona Horsepool and Qeg Lux were once again keeping their winning streak up in the large novice restricted classes to win both novice tests under different judges.

Sheriff Hutton dressage rider Roxanne Shipley fresh back from her international competitions in France, kept the flag flying with Jigsaw Endeavour won both their open elementary classes.
