Tegan Fitzsimon finished her year on a high recording four wins today at the Ashburton Area ESNZ Show. After five weeks on the road in a successful North Island trip, Tegan celebrated being back in the South Island by taking out the Equissage Horse Grand Prix on Windermere Cappuccino, the Cavalleria Toscana Horse Mini Prix on Double J Monarch, the Carrfields 125cm Horse Championship on Alacazam MH. She also finished first equal in the Mitavite Speedi Beet 6-year-old on Campari.

Tegan said “It’s super nice to be home, but we are heading back up north next week”. Her team will now head to the World Cup Show at Dannevirke.

 

New Zealand Performance Horses ruled the Age Group Series, with Rose Alfeld winning both the Matthews Hanoverians 7-year-old and the East Coast Performance Horses 5-year-old classes on Cadenza NZPH and Eye Catcher NZPH. In the Mitavite Speedi-Beet 6-year-old Series class Kirsten Beaven on Dolly NZPH finished first equal with Tegan Fitzsimon on Campari and Courtney Townsend on Adele.  

 

In the Country TV Pony Grand Prix Rosa Buist-Brown on Ellen Vanin Untouchable and Sophie Geddess on Benrose Silver Shadow completed clear first rounds. Five riders returned for round two where Sophie and her second pony Te Ngaio Raggamuffin were clear to finish in third place. Rosa and Ellen Vanin Untouchable had both parts of the double down for a total of eight faults and a time of 61.40. Sophie returned to the ring with Benrose Silver Shadow knowing what she needed to do, but with rails falling at the first and third fences she picked her speed up, finishing on eight faults in a time of 60.75 to win.
