The east coast of Australia seems to have been working its way through the biblical plagues over the last 18 months, with drought, bushfires, COVID-19 and then, right on time for the East Coast Championships 2021, torrential rain and floods. Some competitors attended the first day only to then find themselves on the wrong side of the river to return to the show. Others were stuck for several days after the show ended and had to do a lengthy trip up to the Hunter Valley and back over a very winding road to get home. Not only had the various rivers flooded, but the mountain road was closed due to landslides.
There is also a mouse and rat plague now. It hasn’t quite reached Sydney yet, but the country is infested – just Google ‘NSW mouse plague’ if you want to see the videos. Biblical plagues indeed!
In spite of restrictions on numbers and the threatened border closures, the East Coast Championships was run and had good attendance.
Below are the purebred results – full results from the show can be found at on the NSW Arabian Horse Association Facebook page and photographs can be found on the Glenys Lilley Foxwood Photography website.
