Ashburton’s Anna Redmond won the Lone Goat Vineyard National Open Show Hunter Championship on 12-year-old Vera Mera VA, making it her second national title as the pair won in 2017. “She is so happy in the show hunter ring so we will continue to go out and have fun,” said Anna. “She is just a gorgeous horse to have around. She’s quirky, but I just love her. She is very good at bucking, and while she hasn’t got me off, I have put a few friends on and she has sent them flying!”

 

Melanie Morris and her delightful Kosciuszko, won the National Amateur Championship. “He’s a special horse, he is a family horse,” she said. “My father bought him as a three year old and he is nine now. We did sell him but bought him back again. My nephew hunts him in the winter with Brackenfield Hunt, my father does mustering and trekking on him and I do the competitions!”

 

Indiana Williams, from Clyde in Central Otago, won the National Rising Star Championship on Zactac Margo (by Eurosport Centavos).  “I’ve only been riding this horse for one season, she is only six,” she said. “Hopefully she will do more show hunter, the Canterbury Champs next weekend and then continue on next season winning titles and being cute!”

 

Sarah Hay, from McRaes Flat in Otago, won the National Junior Championship on Emma Barker’s horse Tikity Tok. Emma was the course builder for the show hunter. “This is my first ever national title,” she said. “I have been riding the horse since about April, and I am keeping the ride for a while!”

Another first time national title winner was Ellie Templeton from Middlemarch, Central Otago on her pony Benrose Comet. The pair won the Category A Pony title. Comet was Sophie Scott’s first ponies, and both he and Benrose Obbi are leased to Ellie by the Scotts. “”It is good to see other kids enjoying them,” said Tania Scott.

Twin Blues Romance and Pippa Collins won the National Category C title. “It feels amazing to win, I’ve just come back into the show hunter ring since I left after 2014,” said Pippa who hails from Palmerston, North Otago. I actually bought this pony last Saturday so it has been a quick turnaround for us!” The lovely buckskin pony has quite the back-story. She was a rescue pony who found a great home with Liz Campbell in 2015. With a lot of love, care and time, she went from a skinny, poor-looking pony to the star she is today.
