Jump Off Episode Six - Behind the scenes and highlights

What a journey it has been so far for our riders and these lovely horses. Last week, on Episode Five of Jump Off, the riders took their top two selections up to the AQUIS Champions Tour at Elysian Fields, Canungra, Queensland as a prelude to the Jump Off Grand Final next week.

After introducing their horses to competition around some smaller courses, the combinations were ready for their exclusive class in the main arena. With $5,000 prize money on offer for this main competition, the competition starts to heat up. This is a whole new experience for these thoroughbreds. The jumps were not high, but the challenge was adapting to the full show atmosphere; other horses, crowds and loud speakers just to name a few of the elements that make riding at a show so much more challenging than at home.
