The second day of the TSHA National Titles at Stonewall Equestrian on Saturday produced more exciting showjumping with the inaugural Maiden Teams Challenge won by the team sponsored by Linda and Graham Huddy’s Peachester Lodge, while the National Group I Champion point score was won by a West Australian combination.
The Huddy’s have enjoyed great success racing and breeding thoroughbreds with Group I winners such as Shoot Out and Volatile Mix running in their familiar brown and gold colours.
They take lifetime care of thoroughbreds and their retraining and eventual rehoming very seriously with all three horses in their winning team owned by Peachester Lodge, click for more info..

The Group I classes at 1.2m have been hotly contested featuring many of the horses that jumped in the Six Bar class on Friday and decided the 2022 TSHA National Group I Champion.
It came down to placings in the Grand Prix on Saturday to decide the title. Both Sophie Stott on Allwest and Shenae Lowings riding Bold Venture, finished on 45 points and it couldn't any closer with both these riders finishing first and second in the GP respectively.
With Sophie placing higher of the two competitors she was awarded the win.
Sponsored by Off the Track WA, Sophie has come all the way from Western Australia for this event via the Australian Championships in Melbourne so it was great to see her bring her best form across the Nullarbor.
All West is a 13yo gelding by Natural Blitz and won four races from 34 starts.
RESULTS for Class J10 sponsored by Strawberry Hill Stud in Pryde's EasiFeed arena were;
1. SOPHIE STOTT - Allwest
2. SHENAE LOWINGS - Bold Venture
3. FUSCHIA CRISS - Amazena
4. GEORGIA VAN DER FDRIFT - Regal
5. SHANE ROSE - Glenorchy South Park
6. GEMMA SILK - Oscar Boscaiola
