Tonimbuk International Horse Trials took place over the weekend with competitors contesting classed ranging from EvA80 to CCI4*S.
Key results were:
CCI4*S: South Australian Steph Hann took out the 4* with True Celebre on a score of 58.2. The pair were second after the dressage, had one rail in the showjumping and then jumped clear cross country to claim first place. Although they picked up a number of time penalties cross country, they were the quickest combination in difficult conditions.

EvA95: Section A went to Nina Clarke and LP Blackfriars on 26.1, Section B was won by Erin Callahan and Universal Toi Town on a brilliant score of 19.0, and Section C went to Christine Sanders and Felton Park Fia on 30.8.
EvA80: Kylie Pedder and Dicavalli Dimitri won Section A on 25.0, Matilda Bourk and Final Fling won Section B with an impressive score of 16.9, and Lucy Gunn won Section C riding Blackall Park Tooleybuc with a score of 26.6.
Congratulations to all competitors!
A substantial amount of rain fell before the beginning of the event, leading to trying conditions for event organisers.
In a social media post following the event, organisers thanked all involved for ensuring the event went ahead:
“The conditions were challenging for all involved but we are so proud of our team and committee for rising to the occasion and doing everything possible to make the event continue – the cross country team did a phenomenal job adding gravel, mulch, moving jumps and so much more to get the footing to be quite good by Sunday.
“Thank you to the competitors this weekend for your support and understanding as we had to make so many changes to warm up areas, parking, dressage arenas, times etc. the event still ran smoothly with everyone’s positive ‘go with the flow’ attitudes.”
