South Auckland rider Paula Mussen left several more fancied combinations in her wake as she steered Meersbrooke Flintstone to victory in the horse grand prix at the one star Showjumping Waitamata Show at Woodhill Sands today (Sun).
Mussen and Flintstone went double clear, coming home in 40.17sec in the jump-off, less than half a second ahead of second-placed Katie McVean on Dunstan Kiwi Iron Mark.
Twenty-three started the class, with just six through to the jump-off over the Bruce Wakeling-designed course. Five of those six notched double clear rounds, with time very tight between all.
Catherine Cameron and I Reckon jumped their way into third spot, with Rosie Commons and Glendara Chandon fourth, and Simon Gordon in fifth on Simply Mitch.
In the pony grand prix Northland's Nakeysha Lammers and Airborne Magic were comfortable winners ahead of Anna Cooper on Howzat Cracker Jack.
