Last year's top three will be back at the 2019 Mitsubishi Motors Australian International 3 Day Event
(L-R) Hazel Shannon, Amanda Pottinger and Sonja Johnson
An Eventful Life is filming all competitors on cross country at
Mitsubishi Motors Australian International 3 Day Event - find out more here
The waiting is over, and we now know who will be contesting the four crowns at the Mitsusbishi Motors Australian International 3 Day Event
22 riders from Australia and New Zealand will be competing in the Mitsubishi Motors CCI5*, a class that will be keenly watched by the selectors from both countries in the lead up to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
The winners here in 2016 and the defending 2018 champions, Hazel Shannon and Willingapark Clifford, are returning and this could be a history making performance. New Zealand’s Andrew Nicholson has won three 5* events on the same horse (the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials on Avebury in 2012, 2013 and 2014) but could Hazel be the first female rider to equal his record? We’ll have to wait and see …. (and thank you Lauren at Aus3DE for that little snippet!)
New Zealand’s Amanda Pottinger, who finished second here, is returning with her 13-year-old gelding Just Kidding but they have not been kidding around this year with a first and second place at the two CCI4* starts they have had in 2019 at Hastings and Taupo
Third in Adelaide last year was Western Australia’s Olympic medallist Sonja Johnson on Misty Isle Valentino and Sonja hasn’t just been busy with her sheep this year. This pair has also been racking up the top class finishes with three wins, a third and a fourth place from five CCI4* starts in 2019
So, who else is coming?

A notable name missing from the CCI5* entry list is that of the 2018 RM Williams CCI3* (now 4*) winner, Shane Rose. Shane won’t be competing in Adelaide this year as he opted to start at Le Etoiles de Pau in France this week in the CCI5* riding Virgil, however he will be defending his title in the RM Williams CCI4*-S on his imported mare Easy Turn, who was also the winner of the Horseland CCI2* (now 3*) last year
47 combinations come forward for the 2019 Horseland CCI3*-L which also incorporates the Bates Australian Young Rider Championship
We’ve got the full run down on the ones to watch in each class, the State entries and much, much more coming up but for now, here are the lists
