World Challenge first for Otago jumpers

Clearing a jump at the Otago FEI World Challenge Show on Saturday morning is Caitlyn Tweedie (15), of Riversdale, riding Descarado TSH.

Held at the Taieri A&P Showgrounds, the event marked the first time Otago riders  had been able to compete in the Equine Essential NZ FEI (Federation Equestre Internationale) World Challenge Show, allowing local riders to experience an internationally designed course.

Otago Showjumping Show president Anne Beattie said she was pleased with the number of entries, given it was the start of the showjumping season.
