Riders show superior skill
Riders from Nottinghill Equestrian Estate attended the prestigious and very wet Nissan Easter Festival in Kyalami last week.
Notwithstanding adverse weather conditions, Mpumalanga’s top rider, Hannelize Kamffer once again showed off her superior equestrian skills by winning the junior 1,30 competition in a breathtaking time – bettering the lead time with four seconds on Katanga Ixchell.
She was also placed against the cream of the crop with her other two horses, Brandenburg Come to the Show
(1,30 metres) and Shadowfly (1,20 metres).

Kraai Kamffer competed in the 1,20 adult classes on Le Zar Solero, and in the lower grades Francois Combrink took all the prizes in the 90-centimetre adult classes on Sunset.
Kaylyn Tilden Davis got a well-deserved eighth place in a very strong junior 90-centimetre class, and Marina Groenewald competed with Sunset in the adult dressage and was well-placed on this versatile horse.
