Franklin Thames Valley won the overall team show jumping prize during NZ Pony Club Association championship week which concluded at Clevedon Pony Club Grounds on Thursday [January 25].
Waitemata Rodney’s Coco Fougere on The Boss won the Show Jumping 105cm Individuals 2 Round Competition while teammate Samantha Syme took out the Show Jumping 110cm Individuals 2 Round Competition on Rednalhgih Galaxy Fleur Dior.
Canterbury won the Overall National Games and Waikato won the North Island Games. Canterbury won the 2024 NZPCA Dressage Teams Championship Overall Placings while Waitemata Rodney won the Dressage Team Placings North Island.
New Zealand Pony Clubs Association chief executive Lizzie Turnbull said New Zealand Pony Club championship weeks are held as back-to-back inter-island competitions for riders that are at the top level of their chosen disciplines of dressage, show jumping and games.
From January 16-18, the South Island event was hosted by Otago Southland Area and from January 23-25 Auckland Manukau Area hosted the North Island event at Clevedon Pony Club Grounds.
“The same dressage judges, course designer and games referee officiate at both events ensuring that the standards are the same for the national titles for both teams and individuals which are hotly contested,” said Turnbull.
“Both weeks were expertly run and organised by the host areas and displayed a high level of riding, sportsmanship and camaraderie between the riders and teams.”
