BDFEG Shines at TTT Dressage! 

The Bendigo and District Family Equestrian Group (BDFEG) was thrilled to field three teams and one composite team at this year’s Top Teams Trophy (TTT) Dressage event. 

Team ‘Bling it Back’—Tony, Rosie, Jacqui, and Jody—put in stellar performances, finishing second by a razor-thin margin of just 0.04 points in a highly competitive field. Both Tony and Jacqui excelled, each winning the Championship Jackpot in their respective sections. Rosie may have lost points for swearing! What an incredible overall result! 

Our composite team, consisting of Gemma and Liz, also had great success, both getting some pretty rosettes. Special congratulations to Gemma, who won the OTT (Off the Track) award in her class in addition to 4th overall in the jackpot. 

Team ‘Bendigo Bring Home the Bling’—Nat, Fran, Ann, and Tony—performed strongly, finishing with 4.93 points. Nat had her beautiful young horse Daisy looking gorgeous and did very well. Fran also did very well after only a few rides on Keno to finish 3rd in one of her dressage tests. Ann also took home the Reserve Champion Jackpot winner title in her section. Well done! 

Lastly, Team ‘Bling It Up’—Trista, Lucy, Andrea, and Lyn P—contributed points to the final scoreboard, showcasing determination and teamwork throughout the event. Lucy managed to come back after a small rider error to finish 5th overall. Lyn and her very pretty Paris worked hard to earn their lovely rosette. 

It was heartening to see all competitors having fun, with fantastic support from fellow club members. A huge thank you to everyone who made this event such a memorable one. Go BDFEG!
