Posted • Congratulations to the following equestrian who took part in the Grahamstown Riding League this past weekend.

Results:

Emily Brown & Siver Wish Luna Mist
Best Rider – 1st place
Working Hunter 60cm – 1st place
Equitation Intro 70cm – 1st place

After the horse Layla usually rides couldn’t compete on the day due to a lame leg, Layla got to compete in only one of her events – Working Rider where she got a 1st place on Bold Captain.

Our youngest competitors were Ella Bailey (Grade 1) and Olivia Bailey (Grade 2), who competed on their horse Alrie, and did best walk and best trot. In best walk Olivia came second and Ella came third. In best Trot Ella came first and Olivia came second.

Emily Brown and Luna Mist are currently leading the Grahamstown Riding League. Our Kingswood Equestrian Club is growing in numbers and we look forward to seeing more of our riders competing at the Grahamstown Riding Club’s league.

Albany League – Leg 2 - 15 / 16 March

Alright, thrill-seekers and equestrian aces! Word on the circuit is you’re all chomping at the bit to outshine Dayne, and guess what? The game just got a whole lot more exciting with the addition of TEAMS in Showjumping!
So, who are your dream teammates? Who will you ride with to sn**ch the crown of the ultimate showjumping team?
And don’t forget, the Bathurst Agricultural Show is galloping our way from April 3-6! It’s the next prime show to rack up those crucial graded points without the long haul to PE or EL. Think of the League as your ultimate warm-up arena to prep for those graded points!
Get ready to strut your stuff, showing divas! We’ve got a fabulous feast of new showing classes just waiting for you to dive into. It’s time to polish those hooves and perfect your dazzling routines in preparation for the EC Showing Championships at GRC this September 2025, who needs HOY!

Posted • Well done to all our equestrians who took part in the Grahamstown Riding Club’s Valentine’s Show. Emily Brown and her horse, Luna-Mist, achieved four 1st places and a 2nd in their 70cm and 80cm jumping and equitation rounds, while Leigh Ballantyne and her horse, A Little Showtime Magic, won their equitation class.
Grade 8 Kingswood pupil, Layla, and her horse Choccie also achieved 1st place in two 60cm show jumping rounds and in the 60cm working hunter event and 2nd in Dressage.
It was so lovely to see the Grahamstown Riding Club abuzz and our pupils taking part in the show.
Thanks you to the Rev for these lovely photos.

Posted • Exciting Growth in the DSG Equestrian Community!

Over the past few months, the DSG horse riding community has grown at an incredible pace! This afternoon, Mr de Villiers took a break from his busy schedule to visit the GRC, where he had the pleasure of meeting our wonderful new horses and talented riders.

It’s exciting to see how our equestrian family is flourishing!

Hi Everyone

Apologies for the delay, but good things come to those that wait.

Standings after Albany League Leg 1

Overall points winner was Danye Theophilus on Dellbros Barbwire – well done you have won the voucher for the night away at PE Beach Hotel. I think we should handicap Dayne for the next show, he clearly knows how to play the game.

Top Adult is clearly Dayne, but Nicola Bowes is racing behind to catch up.

Top Junior at this moment is Pipe Weichbrodt on Lily Long Socks.

Grooms we have a tie between Austin Mhlonyane with Olympus Lady Dandelion and Siphiwo Singata with Redford. Each shall receive a R50 voucher.
The schools…. ah yes
Well, done DSG, you lead Kingswood by 7 points. Kingswood – that is one 1st place, I know you can turn this around in March.
