\"AmyReilly\"Twenty two year old Amy Reilly from Bywong, just outside Canberra scooped the pool in the small tour at the EA Australian Youth Dressage Champions help at SIEC. She won the Dressage Qld Prix St Georges and the KEA Horse Training Inter 1 with some beautiful riding on her horse Michar…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI train with Matthew Dowsley every two weeks and I have a home based coach in Anne Riley. I\u2019ve had 13 year old Michar for two years. Brett Parbery found him for me. He\u2019s originally from Denmark and had trained small tour when I got him and had done one Inter 1. We\u2019re trying to get all our ones and things like that now. Neither of us have done it before so it\u2019s a bit like the blind leading the blind! He\u2019s my only horse. I\u2019d love another but I just don\u2019t have time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI started riding when I was four and stopped when I was about 17. I finished school, went overseas and started Uni and had a couple of years off riding before going straight onto Michar. When I went to try him, Brett said, \u2018Off you go!\u2019 I was like, \u2018Where are the training wheels?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing a law \/ psych degree. I finish psych this year and have two more years left of law. It\u2019s good because when I get sick of horses I go and study and when I get sick of study I go and ride. It balances out. There\u2019s no time for anything else, just study and riding!\u201d\"Amy<\/p>\n

The three of you in the Inter1 all rode so nicely…<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s close, isn\u2019t it? It was really good because I watched the other girls, I got off and watched the other two tests and it was so good to see such mistake free riding. Everyone\u2019s training so hard. The quality of the tests was really good and we were all within 2% of each other. I\u2019m really proud of the other two girls. I think they did a really good job.\u201d<\/p>\n
