Envision Financial Canberra Horse Trials

We are delighted that Envision Financial are again partnering with NCHTA to bring you our highly anticipated national event.
In 2024, Eventing NSW requested that we run the FEI event in the first half of 2025, which replaced our usual calendar place for the national event. So the wait is now over for those riders in the EvA65 class!

Not everything to do with money is simple, and sometimes you can make the wrong decision not because you want to, but because you don’t know what you don’t know. They can help you plan a more confident financial future by providing personal financial advice.

Weekend update

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!

Draw and maps

It’s all happening:

Maps for the event: these still need to be signed off by the TD so the distances and times MAY CHANGE.
Draw – don’t worry 1* riders – your class has just been misnamed at the top of the class – numbers 320-344 are the 1* class.
Don’t forget to enter a teQ team – first place prize is $500 from the teQ store!

How can I help?

Have you been wondering what you can do to help NCHTA run the upcoming CCN event? I bet you have!

Annual Eventer Trial

Just when you thought the calendar was looking a little dreary – we’re going to brighten it up in July with our annual Eventer Trial.  Last year the weather gods made it near impossible to run it – so we are determined to hold it this year!  This competition is a lot of fun for everyone, with the pairs competition being run starting at 60 cms up to 105 cm and fancy dress is encouraged!  Afterwards, the eventer trial proper will begin which is a SJ round, followed straight away by a section of elements testing the handiness of the horse, such a bending poles, jumping over a tarp, and opening a gate into the start box – when you then go out onto the cross country course proper.

Entries will be opening shortly on nominate.  Here is a link to the Eventer Trial Competition Info which will give you an idea on how the day is run.  Despite it saying 2013 – the rest is correct!

So mark the 2nd July in your diaries….. and don’t forget to mention it to your friends and family – and remember – volunteers are always welcome.

Burto Wins Adelaide 4*

How lucky are we to be hosting Chris Burton in Canberra for a clinic next weekend,  after he has just won the prestigious Adelaide International Event!  Burto was given a last minute ride on TS Jamaimo, after Will Enzinger broke his leg falling from a novice horse last week. Chris was intending to be a guest and enjoy the Adelaide four-star festivities on foot. He ran a masterclass on How to Make Time Cross Country, (so the pressure was certainly on him to come in under time!), and that’s just what he did.  Burto’s first ride on TS Jamaimo was only on Wednesday.  He backed up a clear cross country with a faultless showjumping round.  What a great achievement.  Congratulations Chris! We are all looking forward to next weekend.
