Tenterfield Schools Horse Sports

A great day out at the Tenterfield School Horse Sports on the 1st November. We took 7 competitors this year. Ruby Stewart, Bradley Casson, Suzie Lockwood, Jasmine Klingner, Lloyd Newbury, Ilyssa Newbury and Aila McBain. All who competed exceptionally well within their respective age groups. Boys and girls competed against each other which added another degree of difficulty for some groups. They all came away with many ribbons and deserve to be congratulated.

However, special mention needs to go to Aila McBain, Ilyssa Newbury and Lloyd Newbury who each achieved Runner-Up point scores for their related age groups.

A wonderful group of students to take away and represent our school. It was a complete pleasure!
