"She did it with such style," Spencer said, adding that she is definitely one to watch.

Sam Lyle aboard BF Valour was second with Gemma Tinney and Diabolo third.

Lowings, riding Dotti was also second behind Olivia Barton and Henrik APH in the 3-star.

Not to be outdone by the visitors Spencer's daughter, and TIE member, Reese Spencer-Ruddy won the 95 junior class with HH Deluxe while committee member Jodie Toft on Yarramalong Kit picked up the first ribbon in the EvA60 Rider division.

Spencer said there were "lots of placings in between" from the TIE contingent.

She was among them placing third on HH Flambouyant in the EvA95 B class.

She said the committee had done an "outstanding" job preparing for the event, as had the AELEC staff.

"We couldn't run such a successful event without their back-up and support," Spencer said.

The clubs attention now turns to their national level event in July.

"It will come around very quickly," she said.

"I hope we have the same entries with a little less rain around."
