Now onto the Open Horse of the Year classes sponsored by Horseland, I was really surprised there was not allot more smaller ponies entered, Victoria and Sth Australia seem to have plenty of the little pets but still what made up the final here in Tas were absolutely adorable, and making it 3 in row moving right thru from Newcomer to Open was Stanton Park Seven Up [boy I bet that pony will sleep tonight!] runner up was A. Lawrence's Barjack Mr Bojangles. Open Large Pony winner was a soft going pony, who covered the ground evenly, H. Wright's Tungarra Forever Gay and runner up was todays newcomer champ' Fairfield Fonteyn. The galloway class and I would be pretty happy the winner and runner-up hanging their heads over my stable doors !.. the winner was bold, forward and easy on the eye, G. Gray's Headley Park Unique and runner up was N. Gibson's Rivers Teagan. Now that just leaves us near to the end of the day and it was the hacks turn to shine, first up was the judging of the Small Hack of the Year, and having first seen Consequence owned and ridden by T. Hay over in Victoria when she won the runner up hack, I had a soft spot for the mare but what a difference 12mths does, she has matured and work wise ...well the judges thought highly of her performance as she was awarded the sash, runner up Alluring in name and nature, owned by F. Clarke. Next was the Large Hack and the winner was K. Blacker's Impressive, a real sweety that looked like he gave his rider a lovely ride, runner up was D. Zeiser's Hyde Park .

To end the day there was the judging of the Leading Rein Pony of the Year Emily McSherry's Llangollen Hugo was the champion and runner up was Karan Satchithananthan's HPH Skydancer. The First Ridden was the final class of the day and was won by D. Satchithananthan's and HPH Skydancer, runner up was A. McDougall-Sharpe's Suzie Cue T Jessamine.
