Turffontein Racecourse to host SA Mounted Games
Racing to Jump has held two successful show jumping events, one at Turffontein and the other at the Vaal Racecourse.
SOUTH African Mounted Games riders will be in action at the Turffontein Racecourse on Saturday, October 17. The mounted games competition will run alongside horse racing on the lawn area in front of the grandstand.
Three of the SA open riders who competed at the world team competition, held in Kentucky in July, will be showing off their riding skills as well as members of the South African Police Mounted Unit and polocrosse teams. Three members of the SA young riders invitation team, competing at the Nations Competition in Australia later this year, will make up the balance of the riders.
All equestrians are being challenged to donate their excess track and riding gear to the Soweto Riding School. A collection point for all donations will be set up at the racecourse on the day.
This event will be run under the same banner of Racing to Jump, that has held two successful show jumping events, one at Turffontein and the other at the Vaal Racecourse.
