We had 16 girls competing for the Girls College, joined by one rider from the Boys College, competing across all of the disciplines offered at the Core League Qualifiers, with some excellent results.

The College managed to accumulate a total of 5160 school points thus far in the League standings.

Some of the top results were:
Sabrina Beale winning the 90cm Showjumping class
Tamsin Copeland winning the 80cm Working Hunter class
Thomas Triggol winning the 110cm Showjumping class
Anne Firth, Melissa James and Lisa Janse van Rensburg placing second in their classes, and Kelsey Rae-Whitehouse, Lisa Janse van Rensburg, Michelle Zwonnikoff and Stephanie Ludi placing third in their classes.

Some of our riders had the disappointment of their horses presenting lame on the day of the show, and not able to compete in their classes. We hope that your horses will all be sound and fit soon.

St Stithians was once again done proud with our Community Service representatives, and we look forward to having more volunteers at our second qualifier to be held on the 29/30th March 2014.
