Molly Smith and Vapour Trail NZPH winners of the Country TV Pony Grand Prix at the Southern Canterbury A&P show

 

It’s another weekend of action in jumping and show hunter arenas across the country as the season moves up another gear.

The Marlborough Area Spring Jumping Show attracted good entries, great weather, happy horses and fun jumping over the Sarah Ching designed courses (ring one).

Molly Moffatt (Christchurch) and Te Ngai Raggamuffin took the honours in the Country TV Pony Grand Prix Series class as well as riding off with the win in the Mainland Coachwork Junior Rider Series class aboard Cracker Xtreme, taking out the Hussey Paint & Panel Pony Mini prix Series on Freestyle Twyst & Shout, and placing third in the FMG Young Rider Series class with Glenmark.

It was hot and sunny for the Southern Canterbury A&P Show at Waimate with 281 combinations duking it out for top honours. Makenzie Causer (Christchurch) had a brilliant show, winning the FMG Young Rider Series class with Copabella Camouflage who was also second in the Cavalleria Toscana Horse Mini Prix Series class and picking up wins with a trio of mounts in the five, six and seven-year-old breeding classes.

Tony Hutton designed the courses which Tim Douglass says did a great job catering to all levels. “The A&P Association did an excellent job preparing the grounds for a double-header of shows over the last two weekends,” he said.

The Diamond Lodge Spring Jumping Show saw Tara Gower (Ohura) and Double J Image take the Horse Grand Prix (non-series), Samantha-Lee Wakeling (Wellsford) aboard BMW Sharpshooter the Pony Grand Prix (non-series), Rose Windross (Auckland) with Double J Kelvin the Dynavyte New Zealand Horse Mini Prix, and Vanna Johnston (Tuakau) with KT Circus Monkey the Zealandia Horticulture Pony Mini Prix.
