Story & Pictures - Page 1

The first Friday in September and that means the first day of the Royal Adelaide Show for 2005.  The grounds again look magnificent and there was plenty of action during the day with the ponies, rider, showjumping and police classes being decided.

Rider Classes (Judge - Miss Rachael Midson QLD)

The first class decided was the Girl Rider 10-12 years where Rose McEvoy was chosen as the winner from Tessa Hughes and Demi Morrison.  The Girl or Boy Rider 8-10 years was taken out by Lillian McEvoy from Pheobe Schmidt and Samantha Langridge.  The Girl or Boy Rider 5-8 years was conducted in a very orderly fashion as the young riders did a fantastic job in an arena with many distractions (showjumping and a very large harness class) with Jasmine Anderson declared the winner from Victoria Gorst and Jessica Dunn third.  Dylan Dunn was successful in the Boy Rider 10-14 years from Daniel Hines and Ryan Firth.  The final rider class of the day was the Girl Rider 12-14 years where Courtney Remington was awarded first place from Katelin Clark and Laini Seddon.
