UNKNOWN JONES TAKES LEAD
Megan Jones, an unknown Australian stud manager, swept into the dressage lead at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials on Thursday. Jones, who sold five horses to fund her trip to Badminton, headed an Australian 1-2-3 after a fine performance on 17.2-hands tall Kirby Park Irish Hallmark. Jones raised over £8,000 to pay for her and her horse's journey in the hope of qualifying for the Australian Olympic team - but could not afford a return ticket.

Horses stir up business
To window shoppers, Adashi might appear to be just another Florida fashion boutique, situated in a modest strip mall and rife with pastel prints and tropical-themed hats. But inside, the apparel revolves around dressage, a refined riding style akin to ballet on horseback. Within the store, beyond the bright green and yellow blouses, are the money items: whips, riding caps, pants and other brand-name equestrian gear. Adashi, which opened in Wellington three years ago, has made quite a name for itself within the equestrian community.

Brentina out of FEI World Cup Final
FEI World Cup Champion Debbie McDonald has had to withdraw Parry and Peggy Thomas's chestnut mare Brentina from next week's Final in Duesseldorf due to injury. After their warm up competition at CDI Dortmund two weeks ago, where they won both the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special, Brentina was found to have a slightly swollen leg. Despite careful monitoring, hopes that the US combination could defend their title were dashed when leading veterinarian Dr Peter Cronau diagnosed a mild tendon strain. While not serious for the mare's future, this would however make any performance during the next few weeks inadvisable...

Anky wins again
Anky van Grunsven won the FEI World Cup Final for a record breaking sixth time in Duesseldorf today with her new star Gestion Salinero. The Dutch rider was the unanimous victor with all five judges, and on 83.45 per cent, scored three per cent higher then her pupil Edward Gal who took runner up position on the Dutch stallion Gestion Lingh. “I could not believe it could go so well”, said van Grunsven, who admitted to feeling nervous at the start of her winning freestyle, which was the nine year-old Salinero’s best performance yet. She had to wait for both Gal and Guenter Seidel (USA) to ride before her victory was confirmed and joked afterwards that she had told Gal he could be very good as long as he did not beat her! For Edward Gal, this was a thrilling result at the Dutch rider’s first ever FEI World Cup Final. He said: “ It was great just to be here. I had a good feeling in Friday’s Grand Prix, and in the freestyle Lingh was even better.”
