A strong team of riders flew the School flag in more ways than one at the Scots Equestrian Interschool Challenge at Albury Wodonga Equestrian Centre last week. 

Not only riding for overall School Championship points, every equestrian team member and at least one of their family members helped host more than 140 riders on 166 horses from 56 Schools at our annual two-day event.

There were some outstanding Scots results, but ultimately Goulburn Valley Grammar School was named Champion School with Scots finishing in eighth place. 

A big thank you to Year 10 and Year 11 students who helped over the two days and to Equestrian Captain Georgie Ledger, who did not compete but was instrumental in all facets of running the day. 

Congratulations to the Scots riders – our team comprised: Sasha Toepfer Year 12, Ollie Geppert Year 10, Mia Baxter Year 10, Bethy Collier Year 9, Quinn Jackson Year 9, Charlotte Hyde Year 9, Eliza Hyde Year 7, Isabella Ingle Year 7, Morgan Kirkwood Year 7, Molly Geppert Year 7, Amelia MacDougall Year 7, Maddie Hyde Year 5 and Emily Kaye Year 4.
