Shane Rose will be competing this class on last year's 3* winner, Holy Moses and Shenae Lowings has Bold Venture, ready for what could be another Championship year for them. Shane will also be busy in the Assistance Dogs Australia CCN3* with three rides on up and coming horses, Cooley All Over, Diva Royale and Limitless Lodge Zsa Zsa, but will be up against his wife and her very successful Dreamrush
Due to work being done in Main Arena and Arena 2 at SIEC, some classes will be doing their dressage tests on the grass Hack Arena, by the North Truck Park and the CCN2*, 3* and 4* classes will show jump in the Indoor arena on Saturday afternoon. The four EvA65 sections and the three EvA95 sections will head out on cross country on Saturday while all other competitors will cross country on Sunday.
