On the weekend of the 28th and 29th of April, the Equestrian Australia Interschool Championships and Gymkhana were at the Strathalbyn Polo Grounds. The competition is to prepare riders for the National Championships, held this year in Toowoomba, Queensland. On the Saturday, EFS had one rider, Jasmine Barnes, who competed on Mrs Berry’s old faithful horse, Cheeky. Jasmine performed admirably, scoring valuable trophy points, and completed the Interschool Challenge. Jasmine had a particularly difficult task, because she was unable to ride her own horse and we had to substitute at the last minute. Despite never having completed a showjump round on Cheeky before, Jasmine pulled off a clear round and respectable scores for the ridden and in hand workout. |
