Kahler wins Gymkhana meet
Goombungee’s Amber Kahler was named Supreme Champion Rider at the first ever Stockman’s Challenge and Annual Gymkhana held earlier this month.
It’s yet another success story for the talented young rider, who recently won Novice Rider in the Under 12s category at the recent Royal Sydney Show.
Amber was Champion at the 2023 South-West Regional Inter-school Equestrian Championships, receiving high results in each discipline.
The previous year, Amber had been named Champion of the State Inter-school Primary Combined and became the State Pony Club Combined Training 10 years and under Champion.
Fifyt-six riders came from as far south as Goondiwindi Pony Club and as far east as Mt. Delaney Pony Club to participate in the Stockman’s Challenge: a dry work pattern, utility pattern and wet work (cattle work), under watchful and talented eyes of judges Amanda Mclennnan, Peter Vidler and Jason Bischof, while 61 riders competed in the Gymkhana.
The event was hosted by Kurrajong Pony Club which thanked its supporters.It’s yet another success story for the talented young rider, who recently won Novice Rider in the Under 12s category at the recent Royal Sydney Show.
