Sydney (AUS), 28 Ocotber 2006Emma Bennett, Grade III Rider, made her debut at the Australian Dressage Championships on 28 October at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre (Sydney Olympic Equestrian venue), with Grand Prix Aachen success Matthew Dowsley (AUS). Scheduled immediately before the Grand Prix Kur, Emma riding her own chestnut gelding Prime Time teamed up with Cinderella, the Chestnut star of the Australian Team at the World Equestrian Games for a very entertaining Pas de Deux. Perfectly behaved Prime Time matched the huge Mare in all her movements finishing with a touch of anything you can do, I can do too – steps of passage. Emma has been named in the Long List of 7 riders for the Para-Equestrian World Championships to be held in England in July 2007 after a successful performance at the RDAA National Championships. Emma is no stranger to major events, having been part of the Sydney Olympics Opening Ceremony horse ride that opened proceedings. It was after this that she had a serious car accident which resulted in her being classified as a Grade III rider. The enthusiastic response from the equestrian audience, reinforced the view from Moorsele in Belgium, that the Pas de Deux combination of Para Equestrian and Grand Prix rider is a winning combination.
