Eventing in the Nation's Capital
Great news! We are running our annual Hunter Trial on the 22 July.
Those who have been before will notice a few differences in the competition from previous years. We will run the SJ and the XC phases separately, and will not be running the timed section. The ever popular pairs XC competition will still be held, and we are adding a 45cm XC course for Pony Club members.
Don’t forget to renew your NCHTA membership in time!
Equestrian NSW Coach of the year, Sam Lyle is coming to Canberra on 31 March (Easter Saturday).
For those interested in having a lesson with one of the most popular coaches, please contact Kate by email (click here for the address)
With a huge sigh of relief – click here for the final results.
We are fully aware of the huge issues that the new scoring program caused. Our scorer was put in a situation of having a new program to wrestle with. Along with the added requirements that the FEI have made with the final goal to have our results being able to be integrated with the Equiratings system, it meant that scoring our event was a nightmare for all involved.
The prizegiving was delayed due to all the problems that we encountered. We know riders all want to get home after a big weekend, but some things really are out of our control.
We do however hope that you all had a good time in all other respects and will return again for our next competition – which is our Eventer Trial. The date of this is yet to be confirmed.
Here is a map of the venue.
All the southern cross horse accommodation is in the one area. Follow the road in the camping area all the way to the end then go up the hill.
Follow my stylish blue line to a large open flat camping and build your own yards area.
The shower block is located where the red circle is.

There have been a few changes since the draw was posted at silly o’clock the other day. Riders in the 60A and 60J classes have had their times changed so that XC will run in numerical order – seems my formula got a little confused!
Those wanting to arrive on Friday – please be aware of the road works at the entrance to the park, so we request that you arrive after lunch if at all possible.
I have tried to accommodate the changes that people have requested.
A reminder that if you need to scratch from the competition, please let me know.

March CNC 18 notes and draw are available to down load, and a map of the venue and yard allocations will be available later on Wednesday.
Do not fear – the grounds are not nearly as dry as they are in this photo – I just wanted to use it again 😉
As we know – everyone wants to know what’s happening when to help them get organised for this weekend’s event! The draw will be available soon and will be emailed to competitors as well as being posted here on our website.

Yippee! It rained overnight and during the day, and over 40mls of rain has fallen at Equestrian park – such that the water jump is almost full!
Also – as promised the amazing Alex Townsend will be arriving next week with her marvellous jiggling machine – and the ever reliable John Fitgerald will be heading out on our old faithful tractor with the aerator to prepare the course. Â As usual – we are dedicated to bringing you all a well prepared track.
