How amazing to have been able to watch the World Driving Champs live on 7+ over the last 3 nights - and to witness the unbelievable Australian Boyd Exell win his 6th consecutive individual gold in this event - what an unbelievable achievement. And also the nail biting, winning cones round by Ideal Equeatrian sponsored driver Bram Chardon who won the cones in the only double clear round, to also win the team gold for Netherlands with his father, Isjbrand, driving the other team combination for Netherlands. Congratulations to all.

Unfortunately the second Australian, Tor was eliminated in the cones as he accidentally restarted before the bell. more info on the Equestrian Australia FB page for all the Aussie updates.

Here is a lovely example of the Ideal Harness Freestyle Breast on the leather harness (used in dressage and cones) v's the standard Combi Breast in a Eurotech harness used in the marathon. We also have a "curved" breast, which is somewhere in between these two. All available in leather or Eurotech (synthetic leather that looks very much like leather - very strong and easy to wash).

All available from in Australia, also servicing New Zealand
