Scotch Oakburn riders were celebrated for their outstanding achievements at the Equestrian Tasmania Awards recently, highlighting both individual success and team selection for upcoming national competition.

Darcy Watkins (Year 3) was awarded Junior Showhorse Member of the Year, recognising her excellent dedication and success in the sport.

The Tasmanian team for the National Interschools Championships in September at Werribee was also acknowledged, with riders presented their team caps. Several Scotch Oakburn riders were named in the team, including Year 12 students Lucy Johnston (captain) and Meg Kilby  (vice captain), Zoe Nichols (Year 9), Aggie Lyne (Year 10) and Marnie Lyne (Year 7).

A highlight of the evening was a visit from Greg Miles OAM, legendary race caller of 36 Melbourne Cups, who attended with the Melbourne Cup trophy.

Congratulations to Darcy and all riders representing Tasmania at the upcoming championships.
