Australian Vaulters Shine at National Championships
Australia’s top Vaulters came together at the Australian National Vaulting Championships, held from 9–12 October 2025 at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre, to showcase their strength, skill and artistry before an impressive judging panel.
The event welcomed international judges Juan Manuel Cardaci (ARG) and Rob De Bruin (NED), alongside Australian judges Angela Deeks, Darryn Fredrick and Nina Fritzell, ensuring world-class standards across all performances.
A highlight of the competition was the CVI3 World Cup Qualifier* for senior riders, offering athletes the chance to secure qualification for the 2026 FEI Vaulting World Championship in Aachen, Germany.
Congratulations to Bronagh Miskelly (on Rapid Fire, lunged by Ash Harrison), who achieved qualification in the Individual Senior 3* Female division. The Senior Squad combination of Ivy Sykes, Erin Ryan, Eliza Wark-Chapman, Tegan Davis, Bronagh Miskelly, Stephane Dore, Nicki Coleman and Tigerlilly Jakeman (on Springtime Park Rustic Stomp, lunged by Gina Sykes) also earned their place on the qualification list.
These talented vaulters now join Ginger Kennett, Australia’s 2025 FEI World Cup representative, who secured her qualification for the Individual Senior 3* Female class earlier this year on the international circuit.
With strong performances across all divisions, the championships reflected the depth of talent and dedication within Australia’s Vaulting community, and the exciting potential for 2026 and beyond.
