The Open Horse 1m Championship line-up, headed by Dawn and Jo Craddock

 

The sun shone in the Bay of Plenty for their two-day Spring show at Riverdale Showgrounds in Rotorua over Labour weekend.  Over 130 horses and ponies were entered for some top quality competition, judged by Marilyn Vincent, Rosalie Haddock and Robyn McIldowie.

The BOP committee ran a brilliant show headed by Debbie Fahy along with a relatively new team.  Charelle Marshall designed the courses, which all rode very well on some great footing in the Riverdale Oval. 

The series classes were hotly contested in both the Hack and Pony rings, with the judges commenting on the high quality of rounds.  The Open Horse Championship on Sunday being particularly close, with all placegetters in the 80’s and 90’s.  Jo Craddock and Dawn, previous winners of two Horse of the Year titles, bagged the win ahead of a very competitive field.

The committee’s innovative idea of a “Meet and Greet Pizza Evening” was well received with over 80 pizzas ordered from Dominos.  The majority of those staying on the grounds met for a casual evening on Saturday night and it was a great way to get to know each other. 

Amelia Newsom and Mr Mexico won the Cat C Pony Championship and also the Aniwell Cat C High Points on Sunday.
