DAY 4 – TUESDAY 1st MAY
Day 4 of our competition and the start to the second week of competition, saw the young horses come out and shine.
The first class of the day in the Fiber Fresh arena was the 4yo Class which saw 25 newcomers take to the ring, and by the end of the class saw 6 horses make double clear rounds. The next class was the 5yo 1.10m class, which was won by the wonderful Yalambis Ikon ridden by Maddison Stephen, with second place being awarded to Brooke Campbells flashy Copabela Camouflage.
The final class of the day was the 6yo 1.20m class which saw 40 horses trying to take out first prize. This was eventually awarded to Miranda MVNZ ridden by Angela Dobbin, with second place going to Luscious Lucy and Zoe Bolton.
Tomorrow sees the start of the tours with both the Sanna Equestrian Young Rider 1.30m 1st Qualifier Class and the Coolmore Silver Tour 1st Qualifier taking place in the Greg Grant Arena in addition to the 6yo Championship. The Fiber Fresh Arena will again host our other young horse final classes with the 4 & 5yo finals.
For all non competitor spectators who want to come down and watch the action live there will be plenty to watch tomorrow and in the coming days and plenty of shopping as well with over 30 trade and food stands on the grounds. Parking and Entry is also free so come on down and see these spectacular horses in the flesh!

DAY 3 – SUNDAY 29thAPRIL
With the end of the first weekend of competition the competitors have certainly set the bar very high for next weeks classes.
The Greg Grant Arena was where the money was at today with nearly $9,000 on offer for our competitors. First up was the Mini Prix with the 90 strong field being taken out by Tom McDermott riding Alpha Activity. Then came the highly anticipated 1.50m Aquis Grand Prix which boasted a prize pool of $4,700 and offers a great lead up to next weeks Gold Cup Tour. This class was taken out by the seasoned Russell Johnstone riding Deprice, Second place was awarded to Tom McDermott riding Elegance De La Charmille. The final event really showcased the promising future of the sport with the Sanna Equestrian 1.30m Young Rider Championship with over 30 young riders vying for the weekend one title. This award was won by Jessie O’Connell riding her lovely Cassis Z Ten Halven, with second place being awarded to Brooke Langbecker and Flowervale Diamond.
The Fiber Fresh Arena hosted the 1.25m Junior Championship which was awarded to Sophie Hatch riding Rosthwaite Belvedere. The 1.15-1.20m Amateur Championship was also very well represented with over 40 riders competing for the prize, which was awarded to Emily Pursehouse riding Equus Cuba.
Ring 3 was kept incredibly busy with over 200 riders in various ages, competing across the 80, 90 & 1m height classes. Ring 3 is also host to our young horses who are up and coming into the sport and also attract a lot of our off the track thoroughbreds who are learning the ropes of their new showjumping career.
Ring 4 was also kept busy with the strong 1.20m (less than 40 points Class) which was kept busy with over 60 riders.

DAY 2 – SATURDAY 28thAPRIL
While the weather for day 2 of competition couldn’t be described as beautiful Queensland weather, it certainly did nothing to dampen the competition happening across the 4 rings at Elysian Fields.
The Greg Grant arena was host to the 1.30m Future Stars class which boasted a 100 plus riders and was won by the very talented Maddison Stephen and her lovely Yalambi’s Grazi. Second place in this class was Paul Brent and Fontaine Blue VDL. Then the 1.40m open height class which was also heavily contested came down to the wire between our eventual winner Matthew Afford aboard Kaluna Salute and second place getter Kate Hinschen and Finch Farm Cadel. Both of these classes are available to view on our Facebook page if you want to see a recap of the action.
Over in the Fiber Fresh Arena our Junior, Progressive and Amateur riders were putting on a show of their own and highlighting the talent of our riders and horses coming through the ranks. The Young Rider class was won by Jessie O’Connell and Cassis Z Ten Halven, the Super Junior winner was Sally Simmonds and Oaks Chifley.
Ring 3 again was host to the very popular, 80cm, 90cm and 1m classes which kept the riders and judges busy throughout the day and into the late afternoon.
Over in Ring 4, heights started at 1.10m & 1.15 and finished off the day with the Gollan Racing 1.30m Speed Derby which was won by Ron Easey riding Simplistic.
Congratulations to all the placegetters from Day 2!
