Harvey takes Hunter region Grand Prix

While many were enjoying the Victorian State Championships over the weekend, the Hunter Valley Showjumping Club were conducting the 2021 Hunter Region Mitchell Integrated Therapy Showjumping Championships. Held at Bradley Park in Rutherford, about 40 km north-west of Newcastle, the show was held across three days and two arenas with competitors traveling from far and while to take part.

The feature event on Saturday was an Open 1.30m class, sponsored by Mitchell Integrated Therapy. High quality performances saw 11 of the 20 combinations entered go clear and seven of the other nine take just a single rail. Just over half a second separated the top three with the win going to Jumping legend Vicki Roycroft who travelled up from the Central Coast and Dynamite Bay in 58.42 seconds. Second place went to William Wood and Dusky Farm Comtess in 58.50 seconds with Vicki Roycroft and the Andrew Inglis bred mare Licaviv third in 58.94.
