First in on her Thoroughbred Please be True, and Last in on her Warm Blood Lord Lester, that is exactly what Catherine did. She came first with Please Be True and Last with Lord Lester. Premonitions or What?

Well deserved win by this talented self made rider who is also her own coach, Catherine has produced several show jumping horses from the retired ex race horses she trains in her own yard at Riders Lodge.

The course was flowing with a few tricky short cuts but always a great ride when Germany’s Werner Deeg  is the course designer.

Second place went to Sharmini Ratnasingham who guided her lovely Astrid Z mare for a clear safe round.

Norinne Dewal rejoins her show jumping friends in the arena after a break, now a lawyer and married, astride her new acquisition Priority, she had four faults.

Annabel Lee from Hong Kong dropped a rail with a slower time than Norinne and Deborah Bottreau was delighted with her  smooth steady  round on her challenging good looking Forever Charming, also an ex race horse with an unfortunate rail down at the last fence.

Emma Rommel from Singapore and Faridah Baharum from Malaysia both had 4 faults.

1 Catherine Tzinberg - Please be True (0/57.98)

2 Sharmini Ratnasingham - Astrid Z (0/59.97)
