SA Showjumping forges ahead

The Mount Gambier Showjumping Club is forging ahead this season. International Course builder John Wilsher is the driving force behind the first Showjumping event for this season and through wads of paperwork and protocol the Club has approval for it's first event since the outbreak of EI in Australia.
PIRSA has approved the event to be held on Sunday the 2nd December at the Mount Gambier Showgrounds, the permit allows for a maximum of 50 horses in total and South Australian horses only. Strict Bio-security protocols will be in place from footbaths at the gate and pre-entry ONLY with no spectators (strappers, family etc will have to be named on official entry forms which will also be checked at the gate).
John Wilsher has recently been involved in course building at the Tonimbuk in Victoria
and is looking forward to getting Show jumping back on track in South Australia. A full program of 7 height classes will allow competitors to compete several horses and the club has already received calls from interested competitors with one rider wishing to bring 9 horses! With numbers already filling quickly all enquiries can be made to John on 08 8725 6414, 0418 838 673, email john@johnwilsher.com


The Club is also hopeful that with the changes to Permit systems in South Australia for early 2008 will allow for the Junior Championships and renowned Easter Showjumping Carnival to go ahead.
