On Sunday 10^th September, two Year 7 students represented Scottsdale High School at the Paul Coulson Memorial Gymkhana held at the Westbury Showgrounds. Eliza riding Hazel and Layla riding Lacey were placed 3^rd in the pair of Hacks and both girls rode personal best show jumping rounds.

Both Layla and Eliza are part of the Pony Club Tetrathlon team, representing Tasmania in Perth, WA over the school holidays. The tetrathlon is an event which consists of a show jumping round, running, swimming and laser pistol shooting. Layla will do a 75cm show jump round, run 1km, swim 100m and pistol shoot from 7m using 2 hands. Eliza will do an 85 cm show jump round, run 2 km, swim 200m and pistol shoot from 10m using 1 hand. Due to the distances involved, the show jumping rounds took place on Sunday the 17^th September at Faulkner Park in Launceston. The scores from this event will be carried over and added to the remaining elements once completed. We wish Eliza and Layla the very best of luck for their competition and safe travels as they depart for Western Australia on Saturday.
