Kate Hinsehen shine in Gold Tour Final in Takapoto

The headline class at the Takapoto Estate Showjumping festival was held this afternoon. After exciting qualifying rounds on Thursday and Friday, (LINK) today’s final saw two of Australia’s finest jumping combinations battle against 24 of New Zealand’s best, to compete in the 1.40m Gold Tour Final. They may have been out-numbered, but our representatives did us proud.

In near perfect conditions, our current Senior Champion combination of Amber Fuller and CP Aretino were out 16th and had a great first round, going clear in 89.09, to secure a place in the second round. Only a few combinations later, Kate Hinschen and Finch Farm Cadel, joined Fuller in the second round by also going clear, in an even quicker time of 87.32 seconds. Also recording a clear round was Australian-based, New Zealander Bridgit Berry and Toulon NZPH.
