AUSTRALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS 2021 – A RESOUNDING SUCCESS

The postponed 2021 Pryde’s EasiFeed Australian Jumping Championships wrapped up on Sunday after five days of thrilling competition at the Boneo Park Equestrian Complex on the Mornington Peninsula.

Whilst spectators picnicked ring-side under shady umbrellas or enjoyed the alfresco dining of Arilla Restaurant, the headline class of the show, the Pryde’s EasiFeed Australian Senior Championship got underway.

Queensland combination of Olivia Hamood and her beautiful mare Jane Fonda DVD handled the pressure magnificently to claim the Australian Jumping Senior Title. Second place went to five-time winner Chris Chugg with Cera Cassiago, while another Queensland combination, Sam Overton and Oaks Cassanova rounded off the podium in third.

It was a great day for Hamood. Not only did she claim the first-place prize money of $5000, but was also presented with the `Len McVean Memorial Trophy’ and a stunning foal from Tulara Warmbloods. To top things off, Olivia Hamood was also awarded the prestigious `Katherine Quilty Memorial Trophy’ as the leading lady rider of the show.

The Racing Hearts Australian Young Rider Championship was taken out by Madeline Sinderberry and her mare Camie Z. Sinderberry who was the Junior champion in 2018 and the Young Rider Champion in 2019, won after a thrilling two-way third round jump off against South Australian Conor Reed and Leopoldo MVNZ. Third place went to the 2019 runner up, Jessie Rice-Ward, this year with Dusky Farm Cavalier.

The Horseland Australian Junior Championship was won by Clemency Hughes and Diamond B Corvina. They went into the final on just one penalty and with two clear rounds in the final, gave nobody else a chance. Second place went to Anneliese Wansey and Grandiamo who had come into the final on zero, however, took a rail in each round of the final. Third place went to Victorian combination, Georgia Price and Zara PPH
