Record numbers for showjumping championships at Tumby Bay

The Showjumping Championships held at Tumby Bay on October 17 and 18 was a huge success with record number of spectators and competitors.

Ideal weather and the jumping surface in prime condition, course designer Andrew Paech assisted by Bill Parker, built beautiful flowing tracks resulting in excellent jumping and competition through out the weekend.

Judging was Gareth Heron and Sue Heath with many members timetabled to assist.

Five competitiors travelled from Adelaide areas to compete delighting all with the fine exhibition of jumping especially in the higher grades.

Many classes were only determined be the time and within a second of each other. The 105cm and Encourage Championships went to three rounds.

The annual Horseman's Night was held on Saturday evening with a "2020 what a year" theme.

Perpetual trophies were awarded and the club is commended for their organization of jumping on Eyre Peninsula having had a very successful year despite COVID restrictions.
