Wairoa turned on the weather for back-to-back shows at the weekend.

Olivia Newsom (Tauranga) had a blinder over the two events. At the Wairoa A&P Show, she won the ESNZ Horse Grand Prix and placing third in the FMG Young Rider class aboard Caretino Jewel, taking out the Mainland Coachwork Junior Rider aboard Charmed Escudo MSNZ and placing third in the same class with Distinction MSNZ, on whom she also took out the Matthews Hanoverians Seven-Year-Old class.

Her fine form continued through to the Wairoa Branch Norther Hawke’s Bay Area ESNZ Jumping Show where she won the Junior Rider aboard Charmed Escudo MSNZ, was fourth in the Young Rider aboard Caretino Jewel and fourth in the Mini Prix with Distinction MSNZ.

In the ESNZ Horse Grand Prix at the Wairoa A&P, Olivia started the class with a bang. She and Caretino Jewel were first out and their clear round was the only one in the opener, giving them the win. Sarah West (Te Aroha) and the in-form Oaks Centurian almost set up a jump-off but their hopes were dashed with a rail at the last.

It was a two-horse jump-off in the Country TV Pony Grand Prix with Tessa Mason (Hawke’s Bay) and Mr Acho notching the only double clear to take victory ahead of Dylan Bibby (Onga Onga) aboard My Funky Monkey after they too dropped the last.

The show attracted 350 horses and ponies. Phillipa Howells was the course designer in ring one with Sooz Wright in ring two.

Anna Wilson (Waipukurau) and Redcliffs Bill delivered the only clear in the opening round of the Country TV Pony Grand Prix at the Wairoa Branch Norther Hawke’s Bay Area ESNZ Jumping Show, with dad Simon taking out the Horse Mini Prix aboard McMillans Ariados.
