Jamie Kermond has continued his winning form at Sale's 2006 Senior Australian Showjumping Championship by placing third against very stiff competition. The class was also a qualifying event for a place in the world championships that are being held in Germany. Kermond and his thoroughbred Stylish King had only two rails down in the first round and jumped clear in the second round adding only 1 time penalty. This feat enabled the pair to be selected in the Australian team going to Germany.

The 2006 National Young Rider Championships were held at the Sale Showjumping Club on the same weekend with Ben Conway and Last Drop were awarded the runner-up title. Wins were also recorded by Emma Smith and Leigh Shera-Jones and KER Ambassador Brook Dobbin.
