Drysdale Dressage Day (Statene Park)

It was a moment of pure joy for Robyne Smith as she celebrated a long-awaited victory aboard her imported gelding, Lord Larry, at The Saddlefitter Brisbane CDI. For Robyne, the triumph wasn’t just about the ribbon; it was the culmination of years of persistence, patience, and belief in her horse.

Shenae Lowings and Bold Venture claimed a decisive victory in the ProTen CCI4*S at Tamworth International Eventing, leading from start to finish in a weekend of strong competition across all classes and levels.

A shared vision for horses – at the beginning of 2026, Olympic team champion Dorothee Schneider and horse breeder and owner Maik Kanitzky will launch their shared vision: an exclusive dressage training centre at Famos Stud under the sporting direction of the riding master.
