Cross Country Day - 10 June
We were been blessed with fabulous weather for Cross Country Day - cool but fine...and no Werribee Wind!!!! It was a lovely day in the Werribee Park Equestrian Centre Grounds and Mansion Gardens. The spectacle and excitement of the cross country phase was enjoyed by several thousand spectators.
Over 200 guests enjoyed the great hospitality provided by Club Equus in the Equimax Gold Pass Marquee, strategically positioned to give spectacular views of the Horseland Water Complex.
The placings and scores in the CCI* remain unchanged after the cross country. Heath Ryan and Mystery Whisper are still in the lead, followed by Amanada Howell and TS Cooper and in third place Christopher Burton and Walk the Line. All 3 combinations remained on their dressage scores, incurring no jumping or time penalties.
The three leaders in the CCI* Junior also incurred no jumping or time faults on the cross country course. Still in first place is Anthea Buckland and Freedom Up Over remaining on 51.4. Evan Pettigrove and Wallington Park Birchwood remain in second position on 52.6 penalties. Moving from 6th to 3rd place is Chloe James and RL Sir William.

Ten competitors from the CCI*** went clear and under time. Now leading the field we have Emma Dougall and Dotcom who remains on her dressage score of 46.7. Following in second and third place, also remaining on their dressage scores, are Blair Richardson and Maximum Overkill on 48.1, and Wendy Schaeffer on Koyuna Sun Dancer on 49.2.

Volunteers
It takes several hundred volunteers to run the cross country phase of a three day event - from spectator managers to jump judges to time keepers to the Technical Delegates and Vets and many more. Our trusty crew of volunteers were here are the crack of dawn, and many spent a long day out in the field. At the completion of competition they came back in to the officials and volunteers marquee to enjoy some much deserved hot food and drinks!! Many thanks are due to all helpers who give up their precious time for the good of our sport.
