 Saturday
events ran a touch behind time, unusual for the SA' group but after
lunch with the tempo up the event picked up pace and we got to see some
wonderful newcomers hit the arena. The Galloway classes as per the
normal were super, really good types ...without getting into hot water -
not the over sized riding ponies but true galloways [even if they may
have RP breeding the galloway type is starting to have its own
identity], from the prelim circle work I happily picked about 7 that I
wouldn't mind standing in my stables, just as SA is renowned for its
riders, and pony breeding - the breeders are getting it 'oh so right'
with the galloway breeding as well.
First
up was the rider classes, the judges for the day were Lisa Cleary,
Louise Doyle and Francene Treneman, these 3 ladies would latter on judge
the Newcomers as well so they had a good days work ahead of them. First
class for the day was the little tots, this delightful talented age
group was so cute to watch, as per the normal SA seems to have the happy
knack of turning out some talent from very early ages. The EFA SA Show
Horse Committee Rider under 9 years winner was Jessica Dunn runner-up
Hannah Woollatt then in order of top five placing; Shauna Chaplin,
Breanna Forster and Charles Mumford. EFA SA Show Horse Committee SA
Champion rider of the year under 14 years was Tess Hughes who put on a
super performance, with Dani Jolly-Blacket hot on her heels as the
runner-up with placing in order of sashing’s Jaimie Stichel Ashlee
Anderson Nicholas Lindquist.
 SA
Champion Junior Rider of the Year, 14 years and under 18 years Adelaide
Lord Mayors Perpetual Trophy was Shannen Graham who won this award in
2005, 2006 a top record making this 3rd time in a row, Angela Donaldson
was the ruuner up with Caitlin Graham 3rd, Camille Rose4th and sister
Felicity Rose 5th. Angel Face SA Champion Senior Rider of the Year, 18
years and over, from the sidelines this could have easily gone either
way between the eventual winner Margot Haynes and runner up Charlotte
Thomson who gave the most superb performance, the judge Lisa Cleary
commented she was looking for a soft …yet effective rider and this was
the hardest class of the day to judge with top riders competiting.
Making up the top 5 in order was Sam Kennedy, Edwina Harrison and Angela
Forster.
