Australia’s Biggest and Most Prestigious Showjumping Event Returns to Mornington Peninsula

Boneo Park is set to host the nation’s biggest equestrian event this November, where more than 770 horses compete for over $100,000 — and the Australian Champion is crowned.

Running from Wednesday 5 to Sunday 9 November, the Championships will see more than 770 horses compete for over $100,000 in prize money across three arenas at the stunning Boneo Park Equestrian Centre on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. This will be the fifth time the venue has hosted the prestigious national event, having last done so in 2022.

With Pet Circle as the major sponsor, the Championships will feature a packed program of national titles, including:

The Racing Victoria Off-The-Track Program will also sponsor a dedicated Off-The-Track Championship, recognising and celebrating the retraining of retired thoroughbreds. A variety of other series and non-championship height classes will round out an exciting schedule of events.

The feature competition of the week, the Australian Senior Championship Final, will take place on Saturday afternoon, offering $25,000 in prize money. Spectators can enjoy this showcase event in style through the Pommery Champagne VIP Experience at Arilla, with prime viewing of the main arenas, premium food and drinks, and Pommery Champagne.
