Shane and Shanghai Joe started the day off
Shane Rose was the pathfinder on the CCI2* course with Shanghai Joe the first horse on course in the Horseland CCI 2*. We caught up with Shane to find out how the first ride of the day went

Cassie Lowe is in second place on Koko Doro and eleventh on Koko Black
Cassie Lowe also moved a place into second on Koko Doro while Ali Foye and Kung Fu Panda (below) jumped from 10th to third place.
Isabel Houghton still leads the Dublin Australian Young Rider Championships on Mohito after a smoking round putting her into fourth place overall and the diminutive Crystal Conning on Emma Scott’s rangy chestnut, Mustang is in fifth.
Victorian Chris Height also moved up the leader board despite inflating his air jacket early in the course and riding Devil’s Mistress around most of the 2* course feeling a bit puffed up. Luckily he is sponsored by Southern Stars Saddlery so they just got another air vest for him for later! Chris finished the day in sixth place
