Australian show jumper Rowan Willis’s winning streak has continued; this week he enjoyed two wins with Wellington Grandorie at the Split Rock Jumping Tour’s Columbus International CSI2* show.

The pair jumped to victory on the opening day of the show, winning the Horseflight $2,000 class. On the final day of competition, they edged ahead of Harrie Smolders to take the honours in the $15,000 Vitalize – Amaferm Equine 1.30m Final.

Their winning round can be seen on the Rowan Willis Showjumper Facebook page.

Rowan Willis is not the only Australian to have enjoyed the ride on Wellington Grandorie; Australian Laura Munt campaigned the mare earlier this year while working for Rowan in America.
