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.
