“There is also the third annual State of Origin challenge between Queensland and New South Wales, a Showjumping grand prix featuring some of Queensland’s top young riders, and the Irish Draught and Sport Horse Society (Aust) Inc award for the best performed Irish horse at the event.

“For spectators and competitors alike there is plenty of entertainment including a cross country night party with live entertainment and a puppy puissance competition,” Dr Osborne said.
