Well done Team Australia!!!!
Jade Thomas-Spice

I would like to give a huge congratulations to the
Amateur Team that competed at Trans Tasman
in New Zealand on the 6th to 11th of October.
Team Australia brought home some excellent
results with winning the Overall - well done girls
and thank you to Terry McSweeney and Ken
Davison for all your guidance.

I believe the New Zealanders put on a great
event, making the team feel very welcome and
it was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended.
Once again thank you AQHA for making this
experience possible for our Amateurs. I’m sure
the team will cherish this experience for many
years.

This event will consist of two Amateurs and one
Youth or two Youth and one Amateur per team.
This will encourage our Amateurs to mentor the
Youth.
Each team member will complete one section
only off the pattern (just like a tag team) and
will be scored. Classes to be contested: Trail,
Horsemanship and Hunt Seat Equitation.
Amazing prizes will be award to the top three
teams.
We are very excited about this event and we
hope to make a very fun and prestigious event
at our national show. For more details or if you
