Another win this weekend for a Cooley Horses......
Congratulations to the winner of the Godolphin Lifetime Care CCIJY2*-L Victorian Lamoza Velisha aboard her nomination of Call Me Cooley, finishing on 34.9 penalties.
With just 1.4 penalty points separating the top four going into today’s final jumping round, the pressure was well and truly on the shoulders of our Junior and Young Rider competitors. Second last to go, Lamoza Velisha and Call Me Cooley were as cool under pressure as the name suggests, producing a lovely clear round to place them atop the leaderboard. A special win today for the Velisha family who have put in countless hours to make the 2025 Melbourne International Three Day Event such a success.
Dominik Michalczyk aboard Off The Track Thoroughbred Fort Wirth were the biggest movers of the class, jumping up from ninth after dressage to second place overall after clear cross country and jumping finishing on 35, just 0.1 behind Lamoza.
Third place went to New South Welshman Oliver Barrett aboard Tempranado who added just two cross country penalties to their dressage score to finish on 35.5.
An incredibly close class that demonstrated the depth of talent amongst the next generation of eventers!
Congratulations to all of our CCIJY2*-L competitors and a huge thank you to Godolphin Lifetime Care for making this event possible!
