Sydney Eventing Autumn Classic – order or view XC Videos here
It’s a massive weekend of eventing on An Eventful Life with Oasby (1) Horse Trials in the UK, Oceania Championships at the Horse of the Year NZ, Tonimbuk International Horse Trials in Australia and of course the REC Equine Specialists Sydney Eventing Autumn Classic at Sydney International Equestrian Centre.
We’ll have a full wrap up from Sydney next week but let’s take a quick look at what happened on Saturday at SIEC.
Who leads what?
Catie Herbert riding leads the REC Equine Specialists CCN4* after today’s dressage and show jumping with everyone’s favourite stallion, Wimborne Constable.
In the Completely Equine CCN3*, Hazel Shannon and Willingapark Chelsea topped the leaderboard after dressage, but Hamish Cargill riding Fairbanks Casino wrested the lead away from her in the showjumping.
The Horseland CCN2* is led by Christine Bates and Bloomfield Findon – one of our combinations to watch in 2024.
The EvA95 classes not only did dressage today but also headed out on cross country and we’re delighted to report that Elysia Horan riding Midnight Wanderer leads our own sponsored class, the An Eventful Life EvA95 Section B, while Andy Daines riding JDF Furst Expression leads the Wallaby Hill EvA95 Section A and Abbey Holcombe riding Nawarrah Park Total Eclipse leads the Pixel Eight EvA95 Junior
