Teams have been announced for the Senior, Young Rider and Junior interstate competitions to be held as part of the Pryde’s EasiFeed Australian Jumping Championships at Boneo Park. This is an exciting and popular feature of the championships each year and we are looking forward to seeing the outcome of this challenge. Performances in each of the first and second (first round only) qualifying competitions of the Senior, Young Rider and Junior Championships will be used to determine the winning state in each category.
