Eventing in the Nation's Capital
The timetable is available now – sorry for the delay!
Please accept my apologies for the lateness of this timetable. Because of this – if you need a back number printed – please let Kate know and she will print you one. Rules for the pairs to follow!
There will be a food van at the park, with service due to start at 9am.
We welcome all to come and help with the final touches to the course on Saturday.
The yard list is available to view by selecting the button below. It’s sorted by rider surname.
The majority of yards are as booked on entry, but a few have changed as requested. Please contact Kate if you have any questions.
NCHTA has organised a few catering options for you at the event.
Canberra Lakes Pony Club will be running on both Saturday and Sunday with its legendary home bake, pulled pork and coleslaw rolls, and bacon & eggs!
For the evenings the following vendors have been organised. Please show them your support.
Charlotte and Toby are again helping you all out with anything you may need at the event. Show them your support and save packing time!
To help plan your arrival time we’ve provided a VERY draft timetable.
The most important message is that the CCI4 and 3* horses will have their arrival inspection from 2-6 FRIDAY. In addition, 2* horses can be inspected on Saturday from 10 to 1pm.
Part of the fun of organising an FEI is submitting a schedule months in advance. In reality – despite all the best intentions, it has taken us until now to get it all sorted – and we have an approved schedule!

Thank you Laura Wallace for all your help in getting this over the line. Riders – PLEASE make sure your paperwork is all up to date. Entries close soon and there are no more yards available – we are working hard to try and source more!
The rosettes have arrived, and the prizes are getting sorted – not long now!!
This year, riders will need to choose their yards when entering. Here is a map showing the blocks. Hope this helps!
We had a great meeting last night with everything coming together. NCHTA are determined to run a great event that Ben would have been pleased with.
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Thank you to those who came out and worked on the course over the weekend. Our community is so lucky to have such dedicated members, who make it possible for riders to have such a great course to train on! Thank you, too, to Riverview Farm for hosting the SJ lessons—everyone had a terrific time.
There were painting crews out on the course, rejuvenating several of our jumps with a coat of paint! Thank you Bri, Minda, Sarah, Ruby and Kerrie.
Wayne Humphrys was a legend on the Whipper Snipper, so we could find the jumps after all the growth that has occurred due to the recent rain. Thank you to James Ross for helping fill the water jump on Saturday, as on Friday when I went to take the pump down, the creek was a raging river!
