And that’s a wrap! 🏆🐴
The 2026 Junior SA Champs has officially come to an end.
It’s been a long, rewarding week for both horses and riders, filled with incredible performances, personal bests, unforgettable memories, and so many lessons along the way.
We travelled with 5 riders and 6 horses, and the greatest achievement of all is that everyone came home smiling. There was plenty of fun, invaluable experience gained, challenges overcome, and through it all, our horses always came first. That is something we are incredibly proud of.
It has been such a privilege to stand alongside this wonderful team and to have the unwavering support of our parents every step of the way.
On behalf of our riders and myself, thank you…
❤️ To our yard owner, for the years of guidance, knowledge, and dedication to the wellbeing of our horses. They looked absolutely incredible all week, and that’s a true reflection of the foundation you’ve helped build.
❤️ To our amazing grooms, thank you for the endless care, early mornings and pride you take in looking after our horses. They were beautifully turned out, happy, and shining every day.
❤️ To our parents, thank you for your constant encouragement, patience, organisation, and unwavering support. Your willingness to help wherever needed and your belief in our team never goes unnoticed.
❤️ To Rachel and Scarlet, thank you for being there in the warm-up arenas. It’s one of the most stressful places to be during shows, and your calm support and extra hands made such a difference.
❤️ And finally, to our incredible horses… thank you. Thank you for your hearts, your trust, and your generosity. You carried our riders safely, gave everything you had, and reminded us every day why we love this sport so much. You are, and always will be, the true champions.
