JUMPING SHOW AT WAIMATE

Results Of Second Day’s Events

There was a very strong support in the improver grades at the New Zealand Horse Society's two-day jumping show held at Knottingly Park, Waimate, during the week-end.

Entries in this class were more than 46. while entries in other classes were down on last year.

The standard of jumping in the South Canterbury Open Jumping championship was a triumph for the North Island visitor. Mr Colin Clark, of Te Awamutu, who on Town Boy was the on’.y competitor to score a clear round. His success on Sunday followed a disappointing first day.

Perhaps the outstanding performance of the show was that of Miss Helen Meyer, of Waimate, who on Sandy scooped the pool in the pony events. Miss Meyer and Sandy won the four pony events on Saturday, including the top award, the South Canterbury pony championship.
