The four day event attracted showjumpers from all over the country, as well as a couple of international riders currently out in Australia.
Sydney’s Jessica Tripp was crowned the NSW indoor young rider champion, while Queensland’s Maleah Lang-McMahon won the junior title and Nathan Carswell (Central Coast) the amateur.

“She’s been a successful competitor over the last few years and picked up a few state titles,” Kibble said.
