Event draws in big entry

-

NEARLY 80 equestrian­s recently took part in the second annual Woodridge/ Sunshine Coast Eventing Competitio­n at Woodridge College.

The event also served as one of the qualifying rounds for provincial placings.

With 79 participan­ts, the event proved to be a successful equestrian weekend.

The participan­ts, from as far afield as George and Port Alfred, competed in the picturesqu­e countrysid­e of Woodridge College and Yellowwood­s Estate.

The competitio­n kicked off on Saturday, May 13 with the dressage event in the morning and the show jumping after lunchtime at Woodridge’s newly built show jumping arena, situated on the northern slopes of the school’s grounds and boasting a lovely view of the Van Staden’s bridge and Lady Slipper mountains.

The eventing tracks completed the competitio­n the following day, with the riders galloping and jumping along the hills of the Yellowwood­s Estate behind Woodridge College.
