It was fantastic to see over 160 riders representing 26 different schools came together to compete in a day full of friendly competition.
The competition commenced with the ring events.
Each student was judged in their rider class, hack class and pleasure hack.
Judges were impressed with the level of competition, making their job that little bit harder.
It is a huge undertaking and without everyone's assistance the event would not be able to be run.

After the ring events, shirts and ties were replaced as students took to the arena for the sporting.
Flags, bending, keyhole, three mug race and barrels were hotly contested with some extremely close results.
The Willow Tree Public School P&C wish to thank everyone who assisted with the help leading up to and on the day of the event.
It is a huge undertaking and without everyone's assistance the event would not be able to be run.
A massive thank you to our sponsors who continue to support us each year and to staff and parents who bring their students along to compete.
