A perfect night for Team Willinga Park

A day of consistent drizzle could not put a dampener on last night’s first leg of the Australian Jumping Teams League (AJTL), held at the Queensland State Equestrian Centre in Caboolture as part of their 2021 Festival of Showjumping. With an exciting new format, including each team of four riders only riding once each and the best three of those scores counting towards the team’s final score, the pressure was intense from the beginning. The large crowd were excited by the introduction of the Geopro Joker Fence for the last rider in each team to consider. Jump it successfully, and the team could take four faults off its total, but attempting it and failing, meant eight faults are added and this played an integral part in the outcome of the event with both negative fours and a plus eights seen on the night.
