Winter Champs a huge success for SSJC!

Riders from as far as South Australia and Victoria flocked to Sydney Showjumping Club's Clarendon grounds on Sunday 18^th June for the 2006 Winter Championships.

A warm winter day, over 550 entries and excellent footing contributed to a wonderful day of showjumping.

Club President Paul Tridgell was delighted with the day saying, "This has been a great result for our Club. We have distributed $4,500 in Prizemoney over the four rings and attracted many interstate competitors. We feel very confidant about the future for Sydney Showjumping Club!"

Judges for the event were Jenny Wall, Joyce Brook, Lyn McLeod and Fiona McLeod.  Course builders were Mark Atkins, David Lawrence and Paul Tridgell.  

Vicki Roycroft from Mount White won the feature open 1.30m class riding Ricacrdo D, with Hilary Scott the winner of the 1.30m Young Rider class on the highly promising young mare Oaks Pro Ratina. The local hero was Mark Atkins of Maraylya who quinelled the 1.15m Amateur class in great style with 1^st on Foxley Clyde and 2^nd on Tennyson Creek.

Many of the teams of professional riders used the championship as a final hit out before   heading to Queensland for the Elysian International Showjumping Classic at Canungra on the Gold Coast.   The Elysian event will be the richest showjumping event in Australia, with more than $85,000 in prize money on offer and is attracting a strong contingent from southern states.

Victorian visitors included father and son team of Laurie and David Lever, and husband & wife riding team of Angela & Brook Dobbin.

International visitor young Putri Hamidjojo   from Indonesian rode impressively on Vicki Roycroft's Snowshoes to place 2^nd in the 1.15m Height Class.

Current Australian Champion Rod Brown from Kulnura, was on hand to watch some of his students compete and generously gave an interview for the benefit of spectators, explaining Mr Burns final preparations for his World Equestrian Games campaign. After the Elysian Shows, Rod and Mr Burns will fly to Europe on 19^th July heading one of our strongest team prospects in many years. Rod was full of praise for the SSJC event and said, "the grounds are now the best in Sydney for events such as these!
