John Twomey Clinic – entries now open

Entries are now open on Nominate for the SJ and XC clinic in October with John Twomey.

Due to the popularity of this clinic, John will be here for all three days of the weekend, and the clinic is organised so that each horse does showjumping training in the morning, then will have the XC training session that afternoon.  This means for local riders, only one trip onto Equestrian Park!  It also means that 36 horses are able to have training with this exciting coach.  There are a limited number of places left on particular days, so please go to the entries site to see if there is a lesson that is suitable for you.  If there is, contact Kate and she will give you the password to enter.

Due to popular request, John Twomey is coming to Canberra for a clinic over the October long weekend.  This will be the last weekend riders are able to train over the XC course prior to our Event in November.  John Twomey is a 4* Eventing rider, and has also won many titles to Advanced level dressage and in show jumping. He was born and raised in Narangba QLD and returned to Australia two years ago after spending a decade in New Zealand. While in New Zealand John won numerous National Eventing and Dressage titles and was a great supporter of the sport of eventing spending three years as the National Riders representative and the two years on the board of Eventing NZ.  John has enjoyed enormous success this year with his remarkable horse Wade Equine Highly Recommended winning three 3* CIC ‘s at Tamworth , S.I.E.C., and Canberra. This success has been so much more meaningful as it has come on the back of a devasting rotational fall in 2011 that could easily have ended his eventing career.  Today John and his wife Caroline are based at the picturesque Saffron Stables in Arcadia, Sydney. John and Caroline are both professional riders and coaches and Johns days are kept busy with teaching, breaking in and schooling of young horses, and producing competition horses for clients.
