New Zealand's CDI Debutante Gaylene Lennard Breaks Records at 2022 CDI Sydney

New Zealand's Gaylene Lennard has created her own slice of history scoring the highest-ever score in an international Grand Prix Freestyle at the Sydney CDI3* on 30 April 2022, breaking an 18-year-old record, and claiming a New Zealand one along the way . . . and all at just her second international outing.

Setting Records

The horsewoman from Te Aroha made a last minute call to head to the prestigious Australian event but has now put herself firmly in the picture to represent New Zealand at the 2022 World Championships in Denmark later this year.

Aboard the 12-year-old New Zealand warmblood registered Jax Johnson (by (Johnson x Anamour x Dynamit), Gaylene scored 76.875% in the freestyle bettering Australian Ricky Macmillan’s 75.275% that was set in 2004, and the late Julie Brougham’s New Zealand mark of 76.3% which she set in 2016 aboard Vom Feinsten.
