Novice and Limited classes to cater for horses and riders of all skill
levels, giving them the opportunity to ride for significant cash and
prizes. The WPBG would like to thank the continued support of the
loyal stallion owners who generously donated services to the stallions
year after year. Congratulations goes to What A Heart Throb and
James Sullivan for winning the 2018/2019 WPBG Southern Cross
Saddlery High Point award of a new saddle proudly donated by
Southern Cross Saddlery.
