A huge congratulations to all Team Montana’s Run riders on a very successful 2026 ANWE NSW State Championships! 🎉

We were thrilled to have 13 horse and rider combinations accepted for the competition. Unfortunately, a few had to scratch at short notice, but we still finished the weekend with nine combinations competing - and a very large, very loud support crew cheering them on from the sidelines! 🥳

We’ve included the team’s overall results, along with all top-10 placings in the individual phases, below ⬇️

Introductory

In a large class of 24 combinations, we had:

🏅 Fiona Banks & Notice Me - 6th overall, with 4th place in both Dressage and EOH2
🏅 Ann Owen & Ruby Rose - 7th overall, with 2nd place in EOH1 and 10th place in EOH2
🏅 Louise Stapleton & Olly - 17th overall

Preparatory

🏅 Fiona Banks & Byalee Aadonis - 7th overall, with 1st place in Dressage and 10th place in Speed
🏅 Arianna Tomlinson & Trinity Del Alcazar - 9th overall, with 4th place in EOH and 9th place in Speed
🏅 Simone Palfreyman & Skyview Trilogy - 14th overall, with 9th place in Dressage
🏅 Brenda Read & Bodhi - 18th overall

Preliminary

🏅 Olivia Palfreyman & Hustler SP - 1st place in Dressage. Hustler only wanted to be a dressage diva this weekend 🤭

Debutante Fly

🏅 Olivia Palfreyman & Prima Donna SP - 3rd overall, with 1st place in Dressage, 3rd place in EOH and 6th place in Speed

As we wrap up the State Championships, our committee couldn’t be prouder to have seen our largest team ever competing in purple and teal - and, of course, taking home the title of Trivia Champions! 🏆 what a special weekend for the club! 💜🩵

We had 13 combinations accepted for the competition and three team entries. A huge thank you to Keith Phillips, Christine Rigby and Belinda Galea, who joined our team-event entries at the last minute to fill in for those who sadly had to scratch.

Most importantly, every combination achieved something worth celebrating - whether it was reflected in the official results or in the personal goals they ticked off throughout the weekend. Congratulations to everyone involved, and we hope we just might see our colours represent at ANWE Nationals in November!

Next stop ➡️ our MRWEQ Competition on 13th September. We hope to see you there! Entries open on nominate and filling fast!

Another awesome MRWEQ training day. Picture perfect venue and weather. Scrumptious lunch and treats. With some fine tuning of our fabulous team by Anna-Charlotte Kennedy and Richard Mattinson. Olivia also helping with some quick rider changes and discussions with some over enthusiastic triple bar horses 😅. Thanks everyone for stepping up and helping make the dream team. Couldn't be more proud of you all for giving it a go ✨️. And to top it off we found out we've managed to sneak in another horse and rider into the MRWEQ state team. Woohhoo. 13 horses qualified for state!
Next events:
14-16th August State Championships
13th September MRWEQ competition at home grounds.

21/07/2026

Our next members training day is live on nominate. It will be at the undercover arena, not our home grounds as the grass arena is still too wet.

***Please note - entries will be open to our MRWEQ state squad team first as priority, as this event is less than 2 weeks prior to our state championships. Remaining spots will be opened shortly once the squad has had an opportunity to enter.

🐴✨ Custom means custom.

Check out the ladies from Montana's Run Working Equitation MRWEQ looking fantastic in their new fully customised competition shirts!

Every club is different, and that's exactly how we like it. We worked closely with the team through a number of samples, tested different fabrics, added custom belt loops to the stand-up collar, and fine-tuned every detail until the shirts were exactly what they were looking for.

The result? A premium competition shirt featuring their club colours, club logo, and a design that's uniquely theirs.

There's nothing better than helping clubs bring their vision to life.

A huge thank you to Montana's Run Working Equitation MRWEQ for trusting Original Kit Co with your uniforms! 🧡💙

Special mention and Congratulations to Scott & River for winning Preliminary Champion, and to Brenda & Bodhi for getting Reserve Champion in Preparatory. WHOHOO.

Another awesome MRWEQ training day. Thanks to Fiona for keeping a roof over us and providing a beautiful venue, and our instructor Dimity Lourey who had some fabulous tips and kept us all going forward to keep warm and also thanks to judge and the lame helper Richie.
Those who ordered and paid for the new MRWEQ competition shirts, the order has finally arrived. Whohoo. The look and feel spiffy and we have them in time for state FEW!
