Brett Parbery and Victory Salute finished 10^th out of 15 in the finale event of the FEI World Cup Dressage Final, the freestyle to music. The Australian pair finished on a score of 70.550%. Brett had been ranked 11^th after Thursday’s Grand Prix score of 67.021%.

The pre-event favourites, Edward Gal and Moorlands Totilas (NED), were the winners of the World Cup Final, but not without fierce competition from Adelinde Cornelissen and Jerich Parzival (NED) who took an early lead by winning the Grand Prix. However, the magical Totilas, that the world has come to love, rose to the challenge in the Kur, earning 89.8% to take out the 2009/10 title.

The weekend also saw the final round of the FEI World Cup showjumping qualifier, where Edwina Alexander placed third on Cevo Itot du Chateau, from Rolf-Goran Bengtsson and Casall La Silla (SWE) and Jessica Kuerten and Castle Forbes Libertina (IRL). Chris Chugg and Vivant placed 23^rd.

Edwina, who finished in the FEI World Cup Western European League Standings in fourth place, and Chris now move onto the FEI World Cup Final in Geneva in 14-18 April 2010.

Congratulations go to the Aussies who did us proud in s’Hertogenbosch!
