The Benoni-based 5th Avenue Equestrian Centre had a successful show over the weekend of September 13 and 14, at The Silver Star Series at Misty Meadows, with two of their horses winning the overall championship awards for two categories.
Tracy Harris, riding her horse, Chikara Astanal, in the adult preliminary tests, placed second in the first test, with a score of 64.44 per cent, and first in the second class, with a score of 71.88 per cent.
They also won the Overall Championship for the series, which is run over five shows.
