Sydney 2000 Olympics Gold Medalist Stuart Tinney is a confirmed starter in this year’s much anticipated Queensland International Three Day Event at Warwick in March
Stuart has also been named Captain of the Davcar Horse Floats Queensland team for this year’s gruelling test of both horse and rider, which has been dubbed ‘State Of Origin’ on horseback.
This year’s contest will feature a chase for individual glory and for the first time, a team’s competition, with the Queensland squad throwing down the reins to their NSW counterparts in a winner takes all showdown.
“Although I’m now based in NSW, I’m a born and bred Queenslander, and I can’t wait to show the Blues how it’s done” said Tinney, with a smile
