Nicole Bruggemann and Marine – 2015 National Young Rider Champions

Jumping South Australia and Equestrian South Australia would like to congratulate Nicole Bruggeman on becoming the 2015 National Young Rider Champions. 

The Australian Championships were held on September 17^th – 20^th at Werribee Victoria.  This was a fantastic spectacle and all credit must go to the ASJC Organising committee for putting on a show of International standards.  The weather was kind, the grounds well prepared, the International Course Designer, Leopoldo Palacios Jugo from Venezuela, set some very challenging and technical courses and all was set for an exciting weekend.

Nicole was coming fourth on Marine after the first round of the Young Rider qualifier, had an unlucky rail in the second qualifying competition to see her in eighth place overall.  However in the final they had two faultless rounds and to quote Nicole’s very own words “Marine jumped his little white socks off” to both win the final competition and to win the overall championship.

Leopoldo certainly made the championship a remarkable competition with only the truly experienced combinations coming out on top.

WELL DONE NICOLE!!!
