Budding dressage stars flocked to Werribee Park’s National Equestrian Centre last week to get advice from world dressage champion Helen Langehanenberg.
Langehanenberg, an Olympic silver medallist, ran a master class as part of Equestrian Victoria’s ‘dressage and jumping with the stars event’, which began last Thursday.
She said it was important to share wisdom with younger riders.
“I was very happy that many people shared their wisdom with me. It’s important that people work to understand what works for them.”
Equestrian Victoria chief executive Greg Pratt said this year’s event was the biggest to date.
Activities included a ‘young jumping horse championship’, which was judged by leading European coach and rider Yves Houtackers.
Mr Pratt said the three-day event was an “outstanding showcase of talent’’.
