Complete list of Garryowen winners since 1934.
The Garryowen Turnout class is a long-standing tradition of Horses in Action Competition at the Melbourne Royal Show. The traditional judging criteria has been maintained around presentation, equipment, horse and rider to determine the best all round horse and rider combination.
The class presented today is almost identical to that seen a century ago, such as the handpicked riding jacket and woollen breeches, both intrinsic elements in the tradition of turnout classes.
The Garryowen is judged on a point system with one judge assigned to one or more criteria. The scale of points is:
Conformation and Soundness (50 points)
Manners and Paces (40 points)
Riding Ability (50 points)
General Appearance (20 points)
Saddlery (20 points)
Costume (20 points)
Total: 200 points
The combination with the highest score wins.
