Randwick Equine Clinic Grand Prix Freestyle
One of the highlights of the Championships is the Grand Prix Freestyle won by up and coming combination – with a bright future at Grand Prix level, Matthew Dowlsey on AEA Prestige. The combination had their first Grand Prix Freestyle start and recorded the highest ever score, 75.795%, at this level at the NSW Championships.
Matthew is just behind the record score achieved in an Australian event - recorded by Mary Hanna on Umbro in the GP Freestyle at the Bradgate Park CDI in 2015.
