Show Horse Nationals

Last week saw the Queensland Show Horse team of over 40 riders and horses travel to the Werribee Equestrian Centre in Melbourne to compete in the Australasian Show Horse and Rider Championships.

The Queensland team once again proved very competitive coming away as the 3^rd overall team.

Thank you to the sponsors and supports of the team and to all those who contributed to the fundraising auction. We are very grateful for all your support in the lead up to and during the event. Thank-you to Sharron Christofis and Rachel Spring who managed these auctions which raised over $6000.

Special mention must also go to Sharron Christofis as team manager and Rachel Spring for coordinating the rider’s tent.

The rider’s tent was a great addition to this year’s team atmosphere, providing the team with a place to meet, stocked with lollies and cold drinks. The tent also played host to the team’s Pizza night which was a great success.
