Mrs Edwards, of Nangus in southern NSW has had a successful year riding her horse Moon Roc and the win comes after a recent trip to the Australian Professional Rodeo Association finals in Warwick, Queensland.
She won the Equitana event in 2012 too and in the past has been second on two occasions. Equitana draws on top competitors from the Australian Barrel Horse Association (ABHA).
“It is a very exciting place to barrel race, unlike anywhere else, the crowd really gets behind the competitors and makes a lot of noise,” she said.
“It's fantastic to be able to showcase the sport to people who may have never seen it before too,” she said.
Mrs Edwards will compete at the Gundagai Rodeo on Saturday and an ABHA event on Sunday.
