WA show horse finalists picked as club celebrates 70 years

GOSNELLS Riding and Pony Club in Western Australia is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year after starting out as the Gosnells Riding and Polo Club before reinventing itself as a very active group for all ages and interests.


Like most equestrian clubs, the pandemic was not kind to it.


“The show horse world has been hit hard, especially financially over the past few years,” club president Helen Harris said.


“We did lose quite a few events over the past two years, but the children of the pony club have been wonderful and we have managed to come out in a safe and comfortable position.

“Numbers at club level events have been very poor at the higher level, therefore we as a club have managed to survive with different events – jumping, showman, breed shows, fun days and of course, matchy matchy, which is going mad over here in WA.”


“Matchy matchy”, for the uninitiated, is an event where a show is held and all the riders compete in their matching colours with saddle blanket, shirts, bridles, no plaiting required and just great fun.


The hard-working group has also just held the Gosnells Masters, a Grand National qualification event for the Show Horse Council of Australasia at the State Equestrian Centre at Brigadoon.


The show was run over two days on August 27-28, with show hunters on the Saturday, show horse events on the Sunday and rider classes spread throughout. All the ribbons were marked with the 70th anniversary milestone.


“Our numbers were about the same as they were last year when we had to get permission to use Western Australian judges due to our state being in total lock down,” Helen said.


The judges for the weekend were Kerri Cock from South Australia, Bernadette Warren from Tasmania and Claire Matsen from Western Australia.


The club hopes one or two competitors who have qualified for the finals will be able to make the long trip to Sydney this year.


It’s been a long wait.
