The Cooktown Racecourse arena was the place to be to witness impressive displays from two- and four-legged competitors at the Cooktown Horse Sports Association meeting on 7 June.
Riders and mounts were tested by multiple challenges, including bending, barrels, stake race, double figure eights, scramble, quadrangle poles and a novelty course.
In the Cooktown RSL Memorial Club novelty event, Red Tierney took home the winner’s ribbon, with Joallen Seagren and Sarah Frew also getting the tick of approval from judges in securing second and third placings respectively.
A club spokesperson thanked competitors, volunteers and sponsors for making the day such a success, adding it was a thrill to see new riders saddling up to compete.
“We would just like to say a massive thank you to everyone who made the effort to come along to our horse sports yesterday,” they said.
“It was such a fun day, and great to see so many new riders joining the club.
“And shout out to all our volunteers and sponsors, as we couldn’t put on these events without you guys.”
