Last weekend, KPC hosted the Post Derby Show, combining show jumping and dressage, and our RRC riders stepped out in their smartest attire for their graded dressage classes! 🐴✨

Gu and her young Thoroughbred, Tybalt, had a fabulous outing at their first graded dressage show, while Cheryl and Midas Touch Samurai gained valuable experience together in the dressage arena riding beautiful tests.

Both partnerships are still fairly new, making their progress all the more special. Behind every outing are hours of hard work, patience and dedication, as each owner builds that special bond with their best friend. Both pairs are coming along beautifully, and we are so proud of them! ❤️

Our decorated duo, Lauren and Bacardi, also bagged a fantastic 2nd place in the graded Medium classes! 🥈 Perhaps those Advanced classes are calling for 2027? We’ll be cheering you two on—silently, of course—from the sidelines! 🤫👏

🌿 Grass Arena Fun at Ascot! 🐴

Gu & Tybalt and Annette & Salvador challenged themselves in the grass Derby arena at Ascot on 12 September.

This time of year always brings a special buzz, with the South African Derby coming up in the first week of October, and it was great to get out onto the grass and enjoy something a little different.

Both horses and riders had the best time! Annette thoroughly enjoyed her round with Salvador, while Gu & Tybalt bagged a fantastic 2nd place! 🥈⭐️

The arena was superb, with some fascinating fillers — including a bridge and even a bench! With their cross-country feel, the horses either had a good spooky look… or locked on and thought, “We know what to do with that!” 😂

A really fun day all round — well done, guys! 💚🐴

🧡 Lauren O & our favourite Orange Dressage Duo at SA Champs! 🧡

Lauren and her gorgeous orange partner competed at SA Champs at KPC last week — a huge and prestigious event, bringing riders from all over South Africa together to compete.

Dressage at this level takes a tremendous amount of preparation from both horse and rider, with riders only able to compete in one dressage class per day.

And what a fantastic result for this duo! ⭐️

🏅 6th in the Medium Consolation
✨ 68.9% in the Medium Freestyle

A massive well done, Lauren — RRC is incredibly proud of you both! 🧡

Now for a well-earned short break before preparations begin for the next big one… The South African Derby, where the duo will be competing in both Dressage and Showing classes.

Well done, guys! 🐴🧡⭐️
