COMPETITION Once again we held our annual show jumping day on the Swan Fields at the SEC this not only enabled riders to compete individually but also enter for the Zone run off for their clubs. This event always draws a lot of riders and we hope to continue this event in future years. In 2015, our championships where held at the State Equestrian Centre and were very successful, with over a100 riders attending over 2 days. The competition was held in 4 rings including the indoor arena. This year we tried to make the events easier for clubs to enter teams with the Bridge Woss and Sola Gain teams being able to enter riders from the same zone not just their clubs. Also the height of the zone teams was lowered to keep in line with the PCA nationals heights. The night time entertainment of the Jigsaw Pairs is always popular with both rider and crowd. Overall the weekend was a great success and we looking forward to many more years of show jumping championships. This year both Senior and Member riders attended the Nationals held in S.A. I am very pleased to report that all riders competed extremely well and did our state very proud not only in regards to their riding but also on the behaviour and attitude before and during the event. Our senior team did extremely well in winning the show jumping team’s event. The first time WA has won the senior show jumping. So I would like to extend from all the show jumping subcommittee and everyone else a hearty congratulations. Keep up the good work for the next Nationals. Also a big thank you to Stephen Johnson who coached the team along with all the helpers and the parents. Thank you for all your hard work. PROGRESSION There will be Course Builders and Judging Seminars held in different zones to help increase the numbers of officials within Pony Club WA in 2016 as training officials will increase the knowledge of the show jumping and help clubs with having more officials available for their events. The Tim Weigal Jumping Leader Board has been running well and we will endeavour to continue you this in the coming years. Thank you very much to the committee for your continued work and we hope to see you all on the committee in 2016. Debra Walker Show Jumping Chair 2015 25
