The event, held on Saturday, October 12, and Sunday, October 13, saw some of the best showjumpers in the state compete in more than 30 events.
Sarah-Louise McMillan won the premier Class 12 Grand Prix on Colourbond on Sunday in a time of 47.450 seconds.
Jamie Priestley (Courage) finished second in 50.630, while Tom Sutherland (Diamond B Jimmychoo) rounded out the podium in 52.090.
Turlinjah's Lucy Evans finished sixth, but would have finished second if not for a fault during her run.
Organiser Patrick Jeffery said the event was a "huge success".
"We had people come from all around NSW and Victoria, and we had one bloke come Queensland to compete," he said. "We also got good crowds in to watch both days.
"A lot of people view this as a warm up to the State Championships, and we had one bloke who won the Australian leg of the World Cup two years ago. We also had four or five other World Cup horses compete."
Rainy weather in the days leading up to the weekend threatened to derail the competition, but Jeffery was happy with how the grounds held up.
"We rolled the grass throughout the day to keep it in the best possible shape," he said. "We also used a lot of sand to minimise any bogging.
"I've been working on the grounds for almost two months to make sure it could handle some wet weather."
Jeffery thanked "everyone for coming along and making it such a great event", and said planning for next year would begin right away.
