Global automotive brand backs Boneo Park’s major events, headlined by the new Boneo Triple Crown, powered by Ford Australia – the richest individual prize in Australian showjumping
One of the world’s most recognised automotive brands, Ford, has joined forces with Boneo Park in a major new partnership set to raise the stakes for Australian equestrian sport.
The partnership brings together two brands with a shared ambition to create and deliver unprecedented collaborations.
Headlining the partnership is the launch of the Boneo Triple Crown, Powered by Ford, connecting three major showjumping competitions into one championship series.
Across the three events, Australia’s leading showjumpers will compete for points towards the Triple Crown, with 1.5x points in the Final round. The winner of the inaugural Champion Series will drive away in a Ford F-150 Lariat, the richest individual prize in Australian showjumping.
The partnership also extends across Boneo Park’s major competition calendar, including the 2026 4CYTE Australian Dressage Championships and 2026 Petstock Australian Jumping Championships, where the senior winners of the Championships will receive use of a Ford vehicle for 12 months.
Greta Cooper, Boneo Park CEO, said the partnership brought together two brands with a shared ambition for performance and innovation. “We are incredibly excited to announce Ford as a major partner of Boneo Park and begin this next chapter.
“Together with Ford, our focus is on delivering things that haven’t been done before; for riders and horses, for the broader equestrian community and as a tourism destination on the Mornington Peninsula. Partnering with Ford to deliver the largest single prize in Australian showjumping is an example of that ambition, and it’s just the beginning of what we have planned.
“We are delighted Ford’s commitment also extends across our major calendar, including the Australian Dressage and Jumping Championships, providing more recognition and reward for Australia’s best riders.”
Ambrose Henderson, Ford Australia Director of Marketing, said the partnership continued Ford’s long history of supporting Australian sport.
“Great sporting moments start with ambition, and that is something Ford and Boneo Park share.
“The Boneo Triple Crown, presented by Ford, brings an exciting new dimension to Australian showjumping. Three major showjumping competitions, one championship and a Ford F-150 waiting for the inaugural Champion will create a fantastic contest for riders and fans to follow. The Ford F-150 brings together capability and premium comfort and is a great fit for the equine industry.
“But this partnership goes beyond the Triple Crown. We’re excited to partner with Boneo Park, it offers so much opportunity across its 700 acres, and we’re excited to bring to life new opportunities for competitors, fans and the wider equestrian community.”
The partnership launches ahead of a major season at Boneo Park on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, including the 2026 4CYTE Australian Dressage Championships, 15 to 18 October; and the 2026 Petstock Australian Jumping Championships, 2 to 6 December.
