<p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><strong>Christen Hayde and Tandarra
Sweet As were worthy winners of the 3 star class at the Puhinui Three-day
Event, producing the only clear showjumping round to finish on their dressage
score, making it two wins in a row following victory in the National One-day
Event a fortnight earlier, and catapulting them into the lead of the Bell Tea
Super League.</strong></p><p style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"></p>

showjumping. She was one of only two riders jump a clear cross-country inside the
time allowed, pulling up from fifth after the dressage phase.<br></p>
