Well done Sharon Jarvis for winning a bronze medal for Australia in the Grade 3 Para Equestrian Championships.  She had a fourth placing in the Beijing Paralympics. Rozzie Ryan has been helping her in Sydney, and also here with Julia Battams the team coach, and all Sharon's hard work and dedication has paid off.

We have had a little time to watch show jumping.

Outside the main stadium is a bronze of the American eventer Bruce Davidson. Its dramatic from all angles.

When I have nothing else to do Kev (Sunbury Park Voodoo) and myself go for a stroll and a pick of grass. This morning we had to avoid the frosty bits. The days have mostly been warm but the early mornings are very chilly.

Busy day tomorrow as 5 of the Canadians compete in Grades 1A, 1B and 2, and Sandy Mitchell rides for Bermuda in the 1A.

Watched the Team Show Jumping. The FEI site on my laptop with a group of friends was a good alternative to getting back to the hotel late and tired. Matt Williams, who was brought up in Tonimbuk, had a faultless clear round. Have bumped into Matt and his father Paul a couple of times in the competitors dining room. I always meet someone I know. 

The Canadians have a great 'team' spirit which is lots of fun to be with. Still hard work and long hours but I am thoroughly enjoying my involvement with them.
