Parbery rides to victory

06 Apr, 2009 09:38 AM
Penrose-based Brett Parbery and horse Victory Salute were the clear winners of a dressage Grand Prix event in Victoria last weekend.

The pair teamed up to win the two-star PSI Dressage and Jumping with the Stars in Werribee.

PSI (Performance Sales International) Dressage and Jumping with the Stars was held at Werribee Park National Equestrian Centre on March 26 to 29.

The cream of Australia's young dressage and jumping horses competed over the three days as well as the Grand Prix horses in the two-star event.

Victory Salute, who is owned by Carolyn Lieutenant of Galston in NSW, was the obvious favourite to win the Grand Prix classes and he did it in style, winning the Freestyle by 8.25 per cent.

Parbery was disappointed not to be included in the 2008 Olympic Team on Victory Salute and will be hoping that continued good performances will put him in strong contention for next year's World Equestrian Games in Kentucky.

He may have missed Olympic selection with Brett but 12-year-old Victory Salute partnered Georgia Bruce to two individual Bronze medals at the 2008 Paralympic Games

"It is nice to be competing Sam (Victory Salute) again, he is a great horse and is improving all the time," Parbery said.

"I love riding him."
