What a day we had yesterday at our first (of many) K day Show downs! Team DSG and Team KC competed against each other in a series of events and great fun was had by all! Whilst Kingswood won the most individual events, DSG came away with an overall win due to a larger depth of field!

We can’t wait for next year already!

Posted • In the inaugural K-Day Kingswood vs DSG Equestrian event today, Kingswood riders did an excellent job. Overall DSG took home the team honours.
Well done to the following riders who were awarded prizes:
Emily Brown on Luna Mist: placed 1st in the 60cm Table A, 2nd in the Top Score and 2nd in the obstacle event. Becky Mildenhall on Anu came 4th in the obstacle event. A special congrats to our wonderful Kingswood partnerships in the Rescue Stakes, 1st place went to Emily Brown on Luna Mist and Leela Marais on Nancy and 3rd place to Becky Mildenhall on Anu and Layla Foulston on Kate.
Shannon McKay also displayed amazing bravery after being thrown from her horse and, after getting the all-clear from medics, was able to compete in her other events. Caitlin McMaster also completed a perfectly clear round in the first event but was sadly thrown off her horse in the “jump-off” and medics advised her not to continue. The girls displayed great resilience.
Big thanks to the amazing people at the Grahamstown Riding Club for making this event possible. It was a wonderful event for all.
