Dubai: There was a new assembly of winners at the second instalment of the Union Properties-sponsored Dressage competition at the Emirates Equestrian Centre on Monday evening.

The winner of both the Elementary and Medium classes was the well-matched pair of Tracy Gill and Roma.

"She is a very genuine and talented mare that I am grateful for the opportunity to compete on her."

Gill also placed third in the Elementary class on her handsome stallion Worthily, closely following the second place duo, the ever-consistent Charlotte Drakeley on Cennan Alarch.
