The Glennie School Equestrian Team has taken out the Lorette Wigan Cup for Interschool Champion Equestrian Secondary School for the third consecutive year.
Glennie Equestrian Coordinator Jacky Redman said that she is proud of the students’ efforts, team spirit and determination.
“The Glennie team had a very successful campaign at the State Interschool Equestrian Championships, taking out a number of key awards,” Miss Redman said.
“Our Glennie riders are to be congratulated on their hard work, dedication to their disciplines and the teamwork they exhibited throughout the competition.”
Keeleigh Wise, Lucy Stanford, Charlotte Drynan and Becci Roellgen were a force to be reckoned with, taking out Champion Secondary Show Horse Team.

Glennie’s only Junior Years rider in this year’s State Championships, Year 6 student Ellie Stenzel, was awarded the Reserve Champion Primary Show Hunter.
Glennie Equestrian welcomed two new riders during the Championships, with Year 12 student Piper Doust riding in her first State Championships and Year 10 student Charlotte Drynan the newest member of the Glennie Equestrian family.
Charlotte said that she especially enjoyed the new-found camaraderie of the Glennie Equestrian Team members.
“I really enjoyed my first event with the Glennie Equestrian Team. The girls were very welcoming and the team is really well supported by an amazing group of parents and volunteers,” Charlotte said.
