Charlotte Cuming came first in the 75cm Show Jumping, third in the 85cm Show Jumping and won Champion Pony Club Rider. Charlotte also came equal first in the open 4 bar event with a final height of 1.30m! Congratulations Charlotte!

Nina Pern enjoyed the show and rode very well representing the school with pride on her gorgeous horse!

Lily Egger placed 2nd in the Stockman’s challenge event on her beautiful horse Faye! Congratulations on your success Lily!

Zoe Weinberg and her horse Karlana Heresay won three champions at the Coleraine show last Saturday and then they went on to win the Supreme Hunter Exhibit of the show and a beautiful floral garland! Zoe also won the Supreme Rider of the show which was very exciting! Zoe and her horse Karlana Heresay had a great day at Warrnambool International Show not Mt Gambier as I wrote last week in error! Apologies! Zoe won her Preliminary 1:2 and 1:3 tests and being named Primary Preliminary Champion. Zoe completed two lovely tests scoring 75% and 87%. A great effort well done Zoe!
