Horse riders perform at Uplands
Hanelize Kamffer, who is currently ranked highest junior rider in the country, had a great show this past weekend at the recreational training and graded dressage and showjumping competition at Uplands College.
Hanelize boasted two blue rosettes on White Waters O J’adore in the showjumping 70- and 90-centimetre competition category and three more first places in the accumulator section.
The accumulator event in showjumping is where exhibitors choose their own course, with each fence cleared being worth a given amount of points based on difficulty. The rider who accumulates the most points within a set time on the course is the winner.
