Hazel Shannon the star of the show again at Tamworth International Eventing's international level event

Riding Willinga Park Clifford, the Heatherbrae equestrian beat a top field to win the feature 4* event.

Not for the first time, with TIE president Sharmayne Spencer commenting that she has won the 4* class on at least six occasions.

Part of the national high performance squad, Shannon finished second in the dressage and then didn't incur any penalties through the showjumping and cross-country phases to take the win.

Spencer said it was a great weekend; "apart from the weather".

Fortunately other than having to change a few jumps "for the safety of the horse and the rider" for the cross-country divisions on Sunday, it didn't impact them too much.

She did however pay tribute to the volunteers who sat out in the rain to help them judge.

The event was the first FEI International event of the season for the 2* to 4* riders, and attracted riders and horses from all over the state and into Queensland.

"We had record entries, which was amazing," Spencer said.

"Being one of the first events for the year everybody was so keen to be out there."

It was a busy weekend for organisers with 16 different classes over eight grades.

The club's focus now turns to their 'national' event in July.
