Work is underway at the park, getting ready for the event.
We have several rockstars prepping the course. So if you’re lucky enough to be local, drop in and lend a hand improving the course.
March event
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!
What is Envision Financial?
They will help you plan and realise the future you’d like to have. 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!

Working bee this weekend
We have to flag the XC course, and add greenery to jumps like this one. Ben and I will be at the park from 10am Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Please come along and help. RSVP to Kate so that enough food can be arranged.
How can I help?
Have you been wondering what you can do to help NCHTA run the upcoming CCN event? I bet you have!
Well – we’ve made it easier for you to put your hand up – Kerrie has put together a sign-up online registration page for the various phases. Of course, many of you will need to see the timetable before you commit – but feel free to dob in a parent or family member or friend.
Select a phase using the buttons below.
XC course maps
Ben has created XC course maps for all the classes. Remember to check the offical course distances and time allowed.
Help Design Our New Logo!
The National Capital Horse Trials Association (NCHTA) invites its members, facebook followers, and just about anyone else, to help design its new logo. We are looking for a bold, creative design that will be used on letterheads, reports and event posters, as well as on merchandise like club shirts and Caps.   It must reflect the spirit of the sport of eventing. It could incorporate reference to Canberra.
The logo can be of any shape, but the design should be provided so that it is clear at A4 page size or larger. Please make sure the resolution is good quality so that the logo can be printed at a large scale. It also needs to be suitable for small scale purposes, so small text should be avoided.
Entries close on January 30th 2014. Send your entry to canberraht@gmail.com. The winner, judged by the NCHTA Committee early next year, will win a free entry to our March event, and potentially other great prizes!
