There were some spectacular displays of team work and trust shown during the events, with plenty of improvements made by some of the youngest riders on the day.
Riders travelled from Julia Creek to compete with Cooper Parry-Pope, Taleah Rafter and Isabella Abdy representing the town.
The club also had a special visitor, with Laura Shambrook holidaying from Dubai.
Mount Isa jockey Tamara Tincknell swapped her silks for a slower pace of riding.
She competed on Ruling Raffin, winning the open showjumping event.
