THE GRASS IS GREENER OVER THE BORDER!

In preparation for this coming weekend's, Junior / Young Rider Bio – Beta Showjumping event. The Mount Gambier Showjumping club has been busy preparing the two jumping arenas at the Mt Gambier Showgrounds. The new venue has been chosen especially to comply with EI regulations. There is plenty of water underground and with two large water tankers the arenas are getting a good daily soaking.

Grassed jumping arenas will be something different for the many Victorians venturing over the border, as they have been indoors at Tonimbuk since the Melbourne Cup Weekend. For the South Australians it will be really something different, ie: an actual show!

One rider who has had plenty of competition recently will be Jonathan Smith of Birregurra Victoria. Jonathan has been competing for Australia in a team's event in India over the Christmas / New Year period. Jonathan son of former international Chris Smith is bringing 3 horses to the event.

Interest is very high for these two days, two rings and with prize money of $4,000.

Strict bio security will be adhered to. All events are post entries on the day. The Programme and Bio Security procedures can be downloaded from the Horse Deals Web Site, click here to download the program, or the clubs web site www.mtgambiersjc.equestrian.org.au
