The equestrian community has embraced the newest eventing fixture at Gundagai (26-27 May), astonishing the organising committee, with over 340 horses and riders entered that include Olympic medallists. With Olympic medallists Stuart Tinney and Shane Rose bringing a large team of horses each to ride at the competition, spectators will enjoy world class action.

Local racehorse trainer and eventing tragic Jim Scobie was determined to get the Gundagai event up and running and is now proud to present a competition that really ensures the grass roots competitor can have a fabulous competition alongside Olympians. Jim has been instrumental in the build and design for the entry level junior and senior riders and is thrilled by the high number of riders at the lower levels.
