Last week the Global Amateur Tour was back at Takapoto Estate Show Jumping for the second year, with riders from Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Canada, The Netherlands, New Zealand and of course Australia all competing. Last year was a massive success and it is safe to say that this year was even better. One of the big drawcards for the GAT is the overall experience, offering riders the chance to compete at world-class international events while exploring unique destinations and enjoying social time with other competitors.

The tour continues to grow, with competitions now established across four continents, Last year, Damien Churchill and Abby West had a great time at Takapoto and this year it was Annabelle Hoy and Phillipa Lawson who experienced all that the GAT has to offer.
