Jumping

The Defender Horse of the Year Show has wrapped up in Hastings, NZ with Horse of the Year titles awarded across three Olympic disciplines.

“I hadn’t worked for four months, so I needed some coin in the bank!” said Robert Palm following his second major win in as many weeks with the “unconventional” Jaybee Vibrant. The eventer-turned-show jumper won his first World Cup qualifier at Sale last month before claiming the $60,000 GDP Classic Grand Prix at Boneo Park.

The dates are set for three major show jumping events, including the National Championships, to run at Boneo Park later this year.

Luke Dee and Gangster WW will represent New Zealand at the FEI Jumping World Cup Final in Basel, Switzerland. Luke has taken the opportunity after NZ Series League winner Julie Davey decided not to make the trip abroad.

Oliver Croucher and NRS Ricochet MVNZ have won the headline class at the Takapoto Classic, one of New Zealand's premier show jumping events.

The GDP Classic has become an essential stop on the Australian show jumping circuit, drawing top riders to Boneo Park on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula for four fantastic days of jumping.

Run “by the riders for the riders”, the GDP Classic is once again drawing a star-studded show jumping line-up to Boneo Park.
