The Equestrian team has been exceptionally busy over the past few months, travelling to competitions across Queensland, including Pittsworth, Toowoomba, Warwick, Caboolture and the Gold Coast, all while earning vital qualifiers for the Interschool State Championships in June and July.

In March, several team members competed at the Glennie Dressage and Show Jumping competition. Notable achievements included:

• Kayla Moore – 5th in dressage
• Jordan Cain – 13th and 16th in show jumping
• Sienna Baird – 1st in show jumping, 13th in dressage
• Isla Cotton – 8th in show jumping
• Ava Steedman – 9th in show jumping
• Marissa Wilkins – 3rd in show jumping

April brought another busy stretch, with Marissa, Isla, Ava and Kayla travelling to Warwick, and Jordan, Marissa, Kayla, Isla and Karina Reeve-Johnson representing the school at the Fairholme competition in Toowoomba. Over the Easter holidays, Jordan, Kayla, Karina, Willa Boersma and Isla braved very wet grounds on the Gold Coast for the Robina State High School Show Jumping event, while Roxy Litzlow and Chloe Blair took part in the ANZAC Day Show Horse competition.

The SEQ Regional Championships, held over three days in early May at Caboolture, drew large numbers of riders and intense competition. Well done to the following students on their impressive results:

• Willa Boersma – Reserve Champion in Combined Training, Champion in show jumping
• Kayla Moore – 3rd in Combined Training, 3rd and 8th in dressage
• Isla Cotton – 8th in dressage
• Tamika Donald – Champion in dressage
• Chloe Blair – 1st in dressage
• Roxy Litzlow – 2nd and 3rd in Show Horse

Congratulations to all riders for their hard work and dedication and best of luck as you prepare for the upcoming State Championships.
