Sydney International Equestrian Centre has played host to the Jumping NSW Summer Classic for many years – a major event on the Australian Jumping Calendar and this has been followed up mid-year by the smaller JNSW Winter Show. Last year for the first time we saw this show series cover all four seasons and are looking forward to the same in 2024.
The 2024 series kicked off on the first weekend in March with the Jumping NSW Autumn Classic, which was was held over two days with classes split between the indoor arena and an outside arena.
The feature class of the weekend was the Winning Group 1.40m Open, which was taken out in a wonderful double clear performance by Tom McDermott and Yalambi’s Key Largo, this combination also won the Liz Watson sponsored 1.30m Open class the previous day. Second place in the 1.40m Open, also double clear, went to Maverick Miles and Verdasco, with the fastest four-faulter taking third place, being Cadenza NZPH, also ridden by Tom. This pair, who took out the Riders Cup Series at the 2023 Australian Championships, finished in 78.65 seconds.
The experienced Andrew Inglis was also in the money over the weekend. On Saturday in the MRX Group Open 1.20m class, he took out both first and second place with Alillie and Indiana Goodtimes respectively. On the Sunday in the Sutton Ouverture Sporthorses 1.30m Open class, these two combinations again filled first and second place, however, the order was reversed with Indiana Goodtimes taking the win.
Not to be outdone, Jacqueline Basquile and Converse were also double winners over the weekend, winning Open 1.10m classes on both days of competition.
Young Tyla Smith also found herself atop the podium twice, taking wins in consecutive classes on Saturday. She won the GeoPro Footing Open 0.90m class with Diva Leggera and backed this up with Livin Doll in the Leading Edge Professional Development Open 1.00m class
The program also included a round of the JNSW Amateur Championship Series which was won by Courtney Cusack and Sandhills Swing, just scraping home in a jump off by 0.11 seconds from Melanie Heygate and Oaks Quebec. Nathan Carswell and Another Chapter provided the third double clear performance of the class.
It was a fantastic weekend of competition with our congratulations going to the winners and all the placegetters of every class in the show as listed below:
