Entries have grown for the third consecutive year for EFAWA Show Horse – Combined Horse Transport Go for 2&5 Horse of the Year to be held at the State Equestrian Centre on 1 and 2 September. The event will host 12 National qualifying classes from which the winner and runner up are eligible to compete at the Australian Championships to be held at Apart from the National qualifying classes, entries are well up in the state titles of Rural Horse and Rider of the Year and Intermediate Horse of the Year. The event will be judged by 3 interstate judges and this year, the timetable has been adjusted so that all three judges can preside over the National qualifying classes. This means that 3 opinions count as to who makes it to top 10 instead of one, providing a fairer method of judging.
