event History
It is the title that everybody wants – Australian Jumping Champion.
For the past two years, the Pryde’s Easifeed Australian Jumping Championships have been held at SIEC and Willinga Park respectively and in 2025 we are heading back down to Boneo Park. This beautiful facility has hosted some exciting moments and we were certainly in anticipation of more this year.

The history in this event and the prestige that comes with being named Australian Senior Jumping Champion is undeniable. Last year we watched Phillip Lever and Billionaire NZPH jump to victory at Willinga Park and take the title.
