Helen McNaught-McFarlane is on a roll.
The Brit-turned-Kiwi showjumper has backed up her second placing aboard Carnutelabryere in the Ultra•Mox FEI World Cup New Zealand Series on Friday at the Hawkes Bay Show with a win in the Excel Horse Premier League in Masterton today.
The Taupo combination were one of nine to start in the class but a super quick double clear in 47.05 seconds kept the rest at bay at the Dunstan Horse Feeds Wairarapa Showjumping and Show Hunter Championships.
Also backing up some excellent results was second-placed teenager Emily Hayward-Morgan aboard AP Ninja who stopped the clock in the second round at 47.43.
Maurice Beatson (Dannevirke) and Conyers were the only other combination to go double clear, coming home in 52.89 over the Heather McDonald
(Dannevirke) designed course.
Hayward-Morgan had a brilliant show, also winning the Canterbury Equestrian Young Rider and Telford Junior Rider classes.
Emma Watson (Morrinsville) and former Pony of the Year Fun House won the Country TV Pony Grand Prix class.
New to the show was the FEI World Jumping Challenge, held over three categories and three shows in the North Island. Christine Cornege
(Cambridge) and Varekai SL head to the final show in the series in pole position, having won the other two Category A classes at Wairarapa and earlier at Equidays.
Riders accumulate points at the three shows, with the winner of the New Zealand Category A section having the opportunity to head to the world final to represent pool 8, which includes much of Australasia. The challenge is run around the world with all competitors jumping the same course plan.
The Wairarapa champs attracted 340 horses and boasted some quality fields, according to organisers.
