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.

Take some time to visit their website.

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!

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.
