Top Competitors Return to Boneo Park for the Pryde's EasiFeed Australian Jumping Championships

All eyes in the sport of Jumping in Australia will once again turn to Boneo in Victoria, where the 2022 Pryde’s EasiFeed Australian Jumping Championships will be held from Wednesday 2nd to Sunday 6th of November.

This will be a welcome return to their traditional spot on the calendar after the 2021 Championships were delayed until February this year.

Situated on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, Boneo Park Equestrian Centre has been the home to the past three Australian Jumping Championships and is excited to once again be hosting competitors from around the country in what will be a five-day Jumping extravaganza. 

Pryde's EasiFeed have once again come onboard as generous sponsors of the Championships and with action taking place in three separate arenas, not to mention over $100,000 in prize money, the excitement is not to be missed. In total, there are over 740 horses and 410 riders entered to compete in a range of Australian titles, including:

  • The Verband Holsteiner Germany Future Stars Championship
  • The Kiernan Plant Hire Mini Prix Championship
  • The Racing Hearts Speed Championship
  • The 4-Cyte Children’s Championship 
  • The Horseland Junior Championship
  • The Racing Hearts Young Rider Championship and
  • The Pryde’s EasiFeed Senior Championship 

An Off-The-Track Championship will also be held, sponsored by the Racing Victoria Off-The-Track Program, which is dedicated to the welfare of retired racing thoroughbreds. 

The program for the week also incorporates a range of minor titles and non-championship height classes. 

The Senior Championship will bring together for a memorable competition the very best riders in the country including Olivia Hamood - 2021 Australian Senior Champion, Tom McDermott – 2019 Australian Senior Champion and Amber Fuller - 2018 Australian Senior Champion. 

Reflecting on her 2021 Championship success, Olivia Hamood said “Winning the Australian Senior Title last year was a dream come true, it’s something I’ve always wanted to win ever since I was a Junior. I’ve been runner up in Juniors, Young Riders and Seniors but to actually win it was just surreal. Most definitely the highlight of my career so far. I’m excited to be heading back to Boneo this year to give it my best shot again, we haven’t had the most ideal prep but it’s the one show on the calendar each year that everyone wants to attend and everyone wants to perform well at.

It is not only competitors that are well catered for at Boneo Park, as the experience for spectators will also be fantastic. Along with the world class Jumping to enjoy, there will be an extensive trade village and a range of quality food and drink outlets. A day out at Boneo Park is an unforgettable experience.

The on-site restaurant ‘Arilla’ will be open for lunch and dinner throughout the Championships. Incorporating fresh local and homegrown produce with an emphasis on delicious flavours, dining at this top-class venue is truly a special experience.  On the Sunday ‘Arilla’ will be exclusively set aside for the Champagne Pommery VIP function with a full day of premium food and beverages. VIP tickets are available from the website www.australianjumpingchampionships.com.au. What could be better than a day of luxury while watching the best that Jumping has to offer?

The 2022 Pryde's EasiFeed Australian Jumping Championships run from Wednesday 2nd to Sunday 6th of November at Boneo Park, located at 312 Boneo Rd, Boneo, Victoria.

Admission each day is free for all spectators and parking is plentiful.
