Stuart Tinney (Domestic Athlete of the Year), Megan Jones (Coach of the Year), Christine & Matthew Bates and Nikki Brooks (Owner of the Year), Australian International 3 Day Event (Event of the Year), Happy Times (International Horse of the Year), F1 Pharinelli (Domestic Horse of the Year), Megan Bryant (Young Athlete of the Year) and Clayton Fredericks (International Athlete of the Year), are among the finalists of the 2011 Equestrian Australia Sport Achievement Awards
Stuart is obviously in the running for Domestic Athlete of the Year due to his prowess in the kitchen but not quite sure what that means for F1 Pharinelli as Domestic Horse of the Year.
It will no doubt be a great night out at the gala celebration at ANZ Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park on 2nd May and we wish all of the finalists the best of luck and congratulations on their nomination. The full list of nominations is;
