Peter and Anne Jelliff's well performed stallion, 'Boonderoo Blackwood' (Kirkby's Stud Remedy / Glen Lee Rivoli Joelean) had nothing less than a sensational show. He won the Led Stallion/Colt class and won the ASH Stockmans Turnout, the ASHLA, ASH Hack class and the Station Horse class. Not surprisingly he was declared Champion ASH Under Saddle. Anne did most of the riding with Peter doing the honours in the Turnout class.

First to go in the new Royal Adelaide Show Cross Country Challenge, Luke Jones and 'Captain Fantastic' kept all 13 challengers at bay to win. Popular overseas the 'Short Course' eventing included a showjumping and short cross country course on the big Adelaide arena. Although there was no dressage phase, this quick form of eventing has great potential. Luke will be all for it , as he took second place as well riding 'Soul'
