Pair of Harvey dynamos' eastern odyssey sees them smash the carriage driving competition
A pair of Harvey dynamos have recently returned from an eastern odyssey where they took part in a carriage driving competition. In September, Sandy Elliot and Jenny Brett embarked on a six-month long journey to Sydney to compete in a plethora of competitions, coming home with a swag of medals. The pair competed in two levels of combined driving with a carriage, with the experienced Mrs Elliot competing in the top cut of the competition. Across 11 competitions, the pair were in fine fettle, with Mrs Brett and her pony Banjo taking home second place in most of her challenges while Mrs Elliot and her pony James were victorious in all but one competition. The massive trip was a long-time plan of Mrs Elliot, who was keen to test herself against Australia's in a series of events. 'I've won in WA for the last 15 years and I've won nationals over east, but I've not put a string of events together, so I decided to go and give it a go,' she said. 'We're a bit sheltered in WA, so for me, I wanted to go over and see if I could do it. If I'm in the top three of events, I'll be rapt. 'But he (James) was winning his events everywhere, the last one we only lost by less than a point.' For Mrs Brett, the adventure was just as successful with Banjo a trailblazer in the competitions. 'The cones and the marathon, which is speed orientated, that's what he flourishes in — he loves it,' she said. 'We were told, if we can get Banjo's dressage correct, no one will be able to touch him, no one will be able to beat him because he's so fast. 'He's actually faster doing the cones and the marathon than my brain — I can't keep up with him mentally.' The highlight was the Battle of the Border competition — a major event with competitors attending from throughout Australia. Winning the competition was the pinnacle of the trip for Mrs Elliot, and coming second in her own division was another major achievement for Mrs Brett.
