David Shoobridge and his KWPN stallion OO Seven are firming as the combination to beat at this year’s Equestrian Grand Final for Dressage after their performance at the NSW State Dressage Championships at the weekend has placed them at the top of the leader board. This is the second consecutive Grand Final qualifier that the duo has won and only the second they have contested. Their score of 72.575% in the weekend’s Grand Prix Freestyle is the highest of the series and puts them ahead of Heath Ryan and Regardez Moi which led the series for most of the series with their score of 71.275% from the Sydney CDI in May.
“To crack 70% is amazing and we did that fairly significantly,” David said. “All I want to try and achieve is personal betterment and if that means we win some competitions, then that’s a bonus, but my focus is on improving,” he added. “There are combinations here in Australia that have years and years of experience, riders who have trained multiple horses to GP very successfully. It's an exciting time but not one that I am taking for granted at all. OO Seven and I will continue to work hard and see what's around the corner,” he added.
The Australian federation will award a further three horse and rider combinations with a wild card entry which will take the startlist for this year’s Grand Final for Dressage to 15.
