What many of us love about the sport of equestrian is that you can continue not only to ride, but also be competitive, and indeed win at the highest level, well into your twilight years.

It seems 61 year old Laurie Lever & Ashleigh Drossel Dan is doing just that almost every weekend.  Yet again he out classed less experienced but no less talented combinations on a rain effected arena to win Sale World Cup Round of the 2008 Australian League. 

Adelaide International Eventing **** winner Chris Burton tried hard to spoil the party though in his very first World Cup, on the stunning paint stallion Copabella Visage placing second, with local and crowd favourite Gavin Chester on Warlord II in third place.
