The Horseland Australian Senior Championship has been run and won at Boneo Park! Amber Fuller and CP Arentino held their nerve through to win, accumulating just 1 time penalty over the course of the weekend. Today when it really counted, their pair were clear and Aretino entertained the crowd throughout with his animated antics. Second place went to Tom McDermott who unfortunately had the first rail of the final round, which ultimately cost him the title. Third place went to Gabs Kuna and Flaire on 6 penalties, and fourth to Katie Laurie and Estean MVNZ on 9 penalties. It was a fabulous weekend of competition that saw Australia top riders in action.

The Horizon Show Jumps Australian Junior Championship saw Madi Sinderberry ride with nerves of steel aboard warmblood mare JT Valentina to take out the title. Madi completed the event with no penalties across all three days - an amazing effort. Runner up Sophie Hatch and Rosthwaite Belvedere also produced outstanding performances throughout the event, ending the Championship with just two penalties and therefore really putting the pressure on Madi in the final round! Third place went to Lucie Aldridge and Ollie Olae on five penalties.

The IRT Australian Young Rider Championship went to Queensland’s Erin Buswell riding Quero Quero. The warmblood gelding had just one rail down for the entire competition to win with just 4 faults from Brooke Langbecker and Beijing LsLa Silla on 7 faults. Coincidentally, the Champion and Runner Up horses were both imported by class sponsor IRT. Third place went to Jessie Rice-Ward and CP Southern Cross.
