East Rand rider Nicola Sime-Riley wowed crowds at the 2016 Nissan Easter Festival, held at Kyalami Equestrian Park, when she won the adult 1.50m Nissan SA Outdoor Grand Prix, last Monday.<\/p>\n

The fiercely competitive class saw Sime-Riley and her horse, A Square Forklifts Elpaso, achieving the only three clear rounds in the competition.<\/p>

They faced off against 25 experienced riders from across the country.<\/p>\n

While South Africa\u2019s top riders and horses were undoubtedly the main attraction, the festival offered much more for the whole family, including dressage classes, dog agility<\/a>, a fancy dress class and a whole lot of showjumping leading up to the main class.<\/p>

The event organisers were thrilled with the turnout to the festival and look forward to next year.<\/p>\n
