All roads lead to Masterton this week for the Glistening Waters 2017 Equestrian Sports New Zealand Jumping Series Final Show.
The show, one of the highlights on the annual equestrian calendar, features the finals of all the national showjumping and show hunter series class which run throughout the season.
More than 400 horses have been entered for the thre- day show which also features the FEI Children's International Competition.
Emma Watson (Morrinsville) and Fun House, who won the New Zealand FEI Children's International Competition last year, are again named in the team, alongside Phoebe Burns (Hastings) on Galaxy Masterpiece, Crystal Hackett (Waiuku) on Cracklin Rose and Emma-Kate Wilson (Hamilton) on Bjorking. Riders compete as individuals and as a team, which receives a world ranking to find the final result.
The global competition is run for 12-14 year olds, who jump the same course. Faults are tallied and the top 15 combinations head to the world final where they will compete on borrowed horses.
