Australian World Cup Season start just days away

The 2023 FEI World Cup Qualifying Season kicks off this coming weekend when the Northern Victorian Showjumping Club (NVSJC) hold their FEI World Cup Show at Shepparton. In what is anticipated to be an exciting season in the lead up to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, it is hoped that the Series can be conducted in full, avoiding the mainly weather-related issues which cut short the 2022 season. However, despite the season being cut from a planned 10 legs back to just six, it all came down to the second last ride of the season when Queensland’s Sam Overton steered Oaks Cassanova to a second clear round on the day, to secure enough points to snatch the series win from fellow Queenslander Olivia Hamood, who had led the series since the second leg. Overton is currently in the United States where, as the Series winner, he has earnt the right to represent Australia at the World Cup Final in Omaha, Nebraska next month.
