Whitsunday Equestrian Group's 2-Day Showjumping Classic

The Whitsunday Equestrian Group’s 2-Day Showjumping Classic, held on June 8-9 at the Cannonvalley Pony Club, was a resounding success, providing a thrilling weekend for both participants and onlookers. Competitors from Townsville to Mackay gathered to showcase their skills, marking the start of the prestigious Frosty Mango NQ Leaderboard, a North Queensland-wide cumulative placings event.
110CM Frosty Mango Leaderboard Results:
   1. Abigail Lee on Hazardous
   2. Abigail Lee on Laced Up
   3. Abigail Lee on Snapchatter
   4. Melinda Zammit on JT Just a Dream
   5. Jessica Dibnah on Mr Manu
The annual Showjumping Classic featured classes ranging from 40cm to 110cm, offering something for everyone over the two days. The overall high-point award was hotly contested but ultimately awarded to Abigail Lee.
The Whitsunday Equestrian Group extends heartfelt thanks to all competitors, volunteers, and attendees whose support and enthusiasm made the event a success. Looking ahead, the next event on the calendar is the Whitsunday Equestrian Group's 2-Day Hack & Dressage Supreme, scheduled for July 27-28 at the Cannonvalley Pony Club.

Defibrillator Addition: 
The Cannonvalley Pony Club now has a brand-new defibrillator installed, thanks to the Whitsunday Regional Council Special Project Grant. This potentially life-saving AED was fully funded by the grant and is now ready for use at the clubhouse. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our local council for their support, to our grants writer Kate for her efforts, and to the team at AWB First Aid First for enabling us to purchase locally and donating the paediatric pads. This addition enhances the safety and well-being of everyone at the Pony Club, the home grounds of the Whitsunday Equestrian Group.
