Stonewall Success for Tom McDermott and Cooley Gangster

Australian Jumping

Above: Tom McDermott and Cooley Gangster. Shugg Group Grand Prix winners.

The magnificent Stonewall Equestrian Centre, situated at Mangrove Mountain on the beautiful NSW Central Coast conducted their annual Grand Prix Jumping Championships last weekend. Held over four days and with two grass arenas in action, Krissy Harris put together a wonderful program which drew competitors from around NSW as well as a strong Queensland contingent.

With a setting of an international standard for competitors and spectators alike, this is an event on the Australian Jumping calendar not to be missed.

The feature class of the show was the Shugg Group Grand Prix and with $20,000 on the line, the competition was hot as well as the weather. Tom McDermott and Cooley Gangster, who recently were crowned NSW State Champions continued their rich vane of form by taking out the win with an impressive double clear performance over the two-round competition. Two other combinations also went double clear, with times separating Queensland visitors, Rebecca Jenkins and Incredible C into second place and Amber Fuller and Nopal Van Tallaert into third.

The Wyong Equine Clinic and Emma Mason Equestrian sponsored Speed Championship was an exciting affair, with just over half a second separating first and second. The win went to New England based William Wood and Powerhouse Park Ego Roc, just beating home the experienced Andrew Inglis his mare Alillie into second. Third place went to Tyrone Latham and Arion Carasun.

In other finals, the junior Grand Slam was won by Queensland visitors Emmy Ravenscroft and Dornamour, who were the fastest of seven double clear combinations. The Stonewall Plate, was taken out by dual Olympian James Patterson-Robinson with Connollys Karuba under saddle in a solid double clear performance.

The Amateur Grand Slam went to Courtney Cusack and Sandhills Swing which follows on from their recent success in the Amateur competition at the Jumping@Willinga show just a couple of weeks ago.

However, despite most of their performances occurring on the second arena, the stars of the show were the Queensland based combination of Tom Sedger and Stir It Up. They entered four classes over the course of the show and won them all, including a win at 1.05m, two at 1.10m and one at 1.15m. To top things off, Tom also took a win with Maxima in a 1.15m TSHA class. It doesn’t get much better than that!

Also faring well and following on from her success in the Equimillion weekend just a fortnight earlier, young locally based rider Makaylah Fenwick and her OTT thoroughbred Grace and Glory picked up a pair of wins. Makaylah also picked up numerous placings over the show with her other two horses.

It was a fantastic four days of jumping and we look forward to the next chapter in the ongoing story which is Stonewall, when they host the TSHA Australian Titles in mid-November

Congratulations goes to all the winners and placegetters across the four days of competition.
