Eventing in the Nation's Capital
Don’t forget that here in Canberra we use slightly different colours on our XC jumps – red and pink fade and look very similar! Click here for the link to the XC maps
So we use red/pink for the 1* (or 105 or Prenovice depending on what language you use!)
For the EvA95 we use white numbers:
For EvA80 we use blue:
And for the EvA60 we use orange:
2* are yellow (which is the same everywhere!) but here’s a photo so those riders don’t get envious:
At a somewhat late hour – here are the notes and draw.
They have been emailed to all riders. Please take the time to read the notes – it’s full of necessary information.
Eventing Australia have released the new tests – and Equestriad are going to be using them. Since our event is the weekend before, we have decided that we will use the same tests as they are.
Below are the links to the new tests that will be used;

With 31 days to go it’s probably a good time to look at the do to list for the event.
If you were wondering how an event gets up and running, and you see something that you can help out with – please don’t hesitate to get in contact with me! (by email or whatever takes your fancy!)
Some of the tasks in the lead up to the event include:
Friday 15th March:
THEN there’s the painful task of packing it all up again! Sadly we don’t have a public holiday on the Monday – so we will try and do as much as we can on the Sunday afternoon – assuming we have any puff left!
So please don’t be shy – we are a slightly crazy but nonetheless awesome group of people, but don’t let that put you off!
