2025 Vaulting Queensland State Championships Wrap Up
The 2025 Equestrian Queensland Vaulting State Championship was successfully held at Balara Park on 5–6 July, showcasing the talent and dedication within the vaulting community.
A total of 36 vaulters competed across a range of competitive and display classes, with participants travelling from across Queensland and two vaulters making the journey from New South Wales.
The event was officiated by a highly experienced judging panel comprising Angie Deeks (FEI Level 3), Juan Cardaci (FEI Level 3), and Anna Betts (Level 1), who provided valuable feedback to vaulters, lungers, and horse combinations throughout the competition.
Thanks to the combined efforts of organisers, volunteers, and participants, both days ran smoothly and professionally, creating a supportive environment for all involved.
The State Champions were;
Qld Individual Champion Vaulter, Horse & Lunger awarded to highest scoring Qld Vaulter/Horse combination in the highest Individual Class.
