News at the time from Anne Blomfield (thanks Anne) 3 July: an update on the fly - "Reining yesterday (2 July) Joel got 0 score 1st show, but Leonie got 4th. 2nd show Joel got 3rd, Leonie didn't place. Both times the kids placed they were put down due to a tie breaker. Italy won both shows.
Today (3 July) showmanship won by USA. None of our kids in the line up. Jody
narrowly missed (according to judge) - horse moved a pivot foot. Apart from that a good run. Jody, Amanda and Olivia in it. Trail was won by the Dutch. Jody came 8th on a really unco-operative horse. (Picture at right.) Pleasure Joel came 9th and Canada won."
1 July: "Cutting today. Very good news for NZ. Joel has won gold in the first show, and 3rd in the 2nd. He rode a horse called 49er Command - a very experienced horse that rode just like his horse in NZ. Jody did a good job but lost a cow and that put her out of the place getters. She had a very green horse (futurity horse just a few months ago), but she is pleased and tried her heart out. They ran it a bit different than they used to. Had 12 horses - one for each country. Each country had 2 kids. 2 draws - one for the morning, and one for the afternoon. Joel drew his horse for the morning - which ment that he did the morning clinic - then rode his cut under the 2 judges. Jody drew her horse for the afternoon - she rode in the afternoon clinic and show.
The scores for each judge were kept for both shows and they were placed for the whole day 2 judge system. This meant that they could use only the 12 horses that they had for the 24 kids that needed them. In some ways the afternoon were disadvantaged - horses being tired, but other horses needed that first run to 'work in'. "
