Better late than never …

Saturday
🥇 Oso Surprise + Poppy — CEI3*, 10hr 31min
Receiving Best Conditioned Open Horse
What a horse this mare has become. Recovering in under 2 minutes all day and handling the race like a true professional, we could not be prouder of this incredible girl.

Sunday
🥇 Oso Rychmond + Poppy — CEIYJ2*, 8hr 4min
Also awarded Best Conditioned Youth Horse
Rych absolutely smashed this 120km, going into the race with no expectations other than to complete. Finishing with an average speed of 14.8kph was a true testament to this horse’s talent.

🥉 Oso Sahara + Taylor — CEIYJ1*, 7hr 40min
Both horse and rider tackling their first FEI race, smiling the whole way through — despite a slightly unplanned dismount to start the day 😅 Super proud of this combination.

⭐️ 8th — Oso Maestro + Rachel — CEI1*, 7hr 40min
Jumping on last minute and handling the race like true professionals — cool, calm and confident in each other from start to finish.

⭐️ 9th — Tori + Bullio Gold Dust (owned/trained by Ben Hudson) — CEI1*
A huge thank you to Ben Hudson for allowing Tori the opportunity to ride.

We cannot thank the officials, vets, volunteers and ride organising committee enough for putting together such a fantastic event. Thank you 🙏

Team Oso: Amanda, Heath, Kayla, Jamie, James, Sasha and Mark, thank you for everything you did for us as riders. The care, enthusiasm and support for the horses and riders was second to none. We as riders are so lucky to have such incredible people around us

CEN Horse Nutrition — thank you for helping power the ponies to perform at their very best! 💥

We can’t wait to see everyone at the next one 🤩🤩

BREAKING NEWS ❗️❗️
Oso Dizzy has been nominated as a finalist for the NSW Endurance horse of the year, along with 3 other very talented and impressive horses ! After an incredible year our little pocket rocket completed the Tom Quilty (160km) in Tasmania, 400km Shahzada marathon and NSW State championships (160km), all with 1 rider meaning that she had completed the BIG 3 !! As many of you know Oso Dizzy is not the most comfortable or sane horse but her little legs of steel, stubborn mind and tough attitude make her such a solid athlete (3268km with only 1 vet out). Thank you everyone who nominated our little pocket rocket and good luck to whoever had to pick out of these 4 finalist 😅
