2004 CDI Sydney

Arena Atmosphere a New Experience for A'Seduction

May 1, 2004

New South Wales rider Sally Evans was suitably impressed with the efforts of bay stallion A'Seduction after their test in Saturday's Advanced Freestyle by Music competition at the Sydney CDI*** International.

"I was really happy with him because he has not been under that type of atmosphere before, with it (the arena) being indoors, with the crowd and the noise."

"I probably missed a couple of things in there, but the judges will probably not notice because it's a Freestyle competition," she said with a laugh.

A'Seduction did stumble slightly during the routine, but Evans was sure "it didn't really show up ... the test flowed quite nicely."

After a good showing in the qualifying Advanced Cup Tournament on Friday, she was anticipating a good finish in the Freestyle by Music competition.

"We placed third in the advanced yesterday and hopefully we place in this one because it is his (A'Seduction's) first big competition at advanced level ... I would be hoping to finish in the top placings."
