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!
You will be seeing posts from NCHTA and other eventing clubs thanking sponsors and encouraging riders to show their appreciation. This is why:
This is a summary of costs from the CCI event we ran in 2023 (showing you the information from our 2024 event was even more depressing as the income from entries was so low, and our loss so bigger). These figures don’t include the $8500 spent building jumps, as these will be used for several years.
Those with basic maths can see that expenses were $84000 and income $82000.
Without sponsorship, our loss would have been much more significant. So please interact with social media posts with sponsor info, like or share, and show appreciation to those who make it all possible!
And carrying on with that theme, here are the sponsors for our event in 2025:
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!
