The Ranch host FEI Jumping World Challenge final
As South Africa was the host of the prestigious event, riders from all over the world traveled to participate in the challenge.
POLOKWANE – South Africa hosted the FEI Jumping World Challenge final at The Ranch Equestrian Centre over the weekend, with riders from Algeria, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Iran, Mauritius, Morocco, Puerto Rico, Singapore, South Africa, Uzbekistan, Zambia and Zimbabwe showing off their talent.
Since riders from abroad could not bring their horses along, they each had the opportunity to draw the name of a horse and was given two days’ of practice with their competition horse.
Men and women competitors participate on equal terms in jumping. Mikaela Martin and Erin O’Dwyer were the only two South African riders who took part in the final.
