Congratulations to Scarlett Webber (Year 9) who competed at the Sydney International 3 Day Event held last week. Scarlett won the 95 Eventing Open Class and was the Junior Winner as well. It was a class of 40 riders. Scarlett did a great job leading from the start with a great dressage, clear cross country run and 1 rail down in the showjumping to hold on to the lead. Well done Scarlett!

Also achieving in the sport of equestrian (dressage) is Isla Oxley in Year 8 and her horse Jett. Isla has won several Youth Championship competitions which saw her receive a Bronze in Medium at the Dressage NSW Awards night. She also represented NSW in Tamworth at the Australian Interschools Championships in which she won Reserve Champion for a novice.
