Riders test their skills in the arena
RIDERS of all ages were able to show their show jumping prowess in Warrnambool last weekend.
The annual Shipwreck Coast Show Jumping two-day event attracted almost 180 entries to the showgrounds.
Event organiser Rod Andrews said the event was one of the best he had been involved with in recent years.
“We were absolutely stoked with the number and quality of entries; it was honestly one of the best I’ve seen,” Mr Andrews said.
“We ran two rings on both days; the first was for seniors 80cm-135cm while the second ring was for junior riders, 30cm-80cm.
“It was terrific to be able to give some of the younger riders experience on a show jumping course; some of the riders were just three to five year-olds which was amazing.
“From all feedback received, everyone was happy with how the two days went and we’re already looking for sponsors for next year’s event.”
