The final day of the Coastal Winter Dressage series was held at Hawera in the A&P Indoor arena.
After getting quite big entries, there was a reduced field due to scratchings, but those who came enjoyed their day's competition.
A feature of this day was that a large number of newbies were having their first outing in competition. Judges for the day were Nicola Turnbull and Kathryn Buchanan, both from New Plymouth.
