Amanda Howell and her 'TS Cooper' look right on the money in this photograph. Sadly a showjumping collapse saw them slip from third place to out of the money.

Two showjumping rails down saw Heath Ryan and his seven-year-old Richmeed Medallion gelding, 'Mystery Whisper' slip from first place since the dressage, to second place in the CCI*.

Naomi Mays from Launching Place in the Varra Valley and her eight-year-old Donnerheist gelding, 'Mayfield Dante' added just cross-country time penalties and one showjumping rail to their dressage scoer to win the CCIJ* competition.

Former Stuart Tinney ride, 'RL SIr William' looks to be doing his best for Chloe James in the showjumping phase of the CCIJ*. However, two rails down saw them slip from third after the cross-country to fourth pace.

Evan Pettigrove and his 'Wallington Park Birchwood' took third place in the CCIJ* competition.

Although everything looks to be going well in this photograph, showjumping rails down saw Anthea Buckland and 'Freedom Up Over' slip from first to fifth in the CCIJ*.

Smiles all round for this combination. Tracy Savage and 'Gambler Boy', a Thoroughbred by Tim's Gambler produced a perfect cross-country and showjumping round to move from 25th after the dressage to finish the CCI* in fifth place. Anyone would smile!

Successful Victorian young rider, Bianca Craddock and her delightful, 'JJ Fortitude' remained on their dressage score (64.2) to take sixth place in the CCI** competition.

Georgia Connelly and her Thoroughbred gelding by Voodoo Rhythm, 'TS Merlin' added nothing to their dressage score (58.6) to take fourth place in the CCI**.

Sadly Emma Mason from Lochinvar slipped from second place after the cross-country to fifth, when her 'F1 Pharinelli' lowered three rails in the very testing indoor showjumping phase.

Emma Scott from Balranald in NSW had an early 21st present at Werribee this weekend, when her talented eight-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, 'Mustang' by He's A Bear led from the outset to finish on his dressage score, 49.4 and win the CCI**.

"Baby it's cold outside"! But CCI* competitor, Analisa Hegyesi's Poodle cross, 'Afro' is certainly dressed for the opening of the ski season. And happy he looks too, although a little mystified by the attention!

Peter Gillis rode his wife, Allison Duthie's 'Mister JJ', a Thoroughbred by our Best Friend, to demonstrate considerable jumping ability for eighth place in the CCI***.

Well-known and expierenced South Australian eventer, Scott Keach rode his 'ESB Irish Fiddle' to take ninth place in the CCI***.

Megan Jones and Lauren Poulson's Rustic Amber gelding, 'Kirby Park Allofasudden' is really getting some height over this showjumping fence in the final phase of the CCI***. They just made it into the money for tenth place.

Stuart Tinney jumped a beautiful clear round aboard Tim Game's promising eight-year-old Staccato (by Salute) mare, 'Panamera'. They just added cross-country time penalties to take fourth place in the CCI*** with 56.6 penalties.

Jenelle Pitts and 'Mr Showoff' by Near Show let the CCI*** lead slip with the addition of cross-country time penalties. However with just four showjumping time penalties to add they finished the competition in fifth place.

Luck was not with Queensland combination, Emma Dougal and her 'Dotcom' by Raise A Stanza at Werribee on the weekend. The 2005 Adelaide CCI** winners were in first place after a super dressage and cross-country phase. But a disasterous showjumping round saw the talented pair slip to 13th place.

Emily Anker and Mary-Jane Crabtree's Kenmare gelding, 'Keniski' had no trouble with the showjumpign phase of the CIC/W. They jumped one of just two showjumping clears to take seventh place.

Queensland rider, Natalie Siiankowski likes Werribee. She was second in the CCI** a couple of years ago, and this year again riding her sensational jumper, 'Kolora Stud Archie' by Archway, finished on her dressage score, 55, to win the CIC/W. Natalie is out to make the World Cup Final in May/June 2008 and will travel to Warwick in Queensland in a few weeks to contest the second and only other qualifier in Australia.

With two showjumping rails down around the testing World Cup track, Queenslander, Kevin McNab and his eleven -year-old Thoroughbred by Stanoslasdky, 'Hufflepuff' slipped to second place in the CIC/W.

Wendy Schaeffer's odds always shorten when the jumping starts. She rode her parents, 'Koyuna Sun Dancer' a seven-year-old by Brilliant Invader to jump her way to victory in the CCI***. Sixth after the dressage on 49.4, Wendy and Sun Dancer aldded nothing further to win.
