Southern Tablelands & ACT Working Equitation Inc

Southern Tablelands & ACT Working Equitation Inc Our club promotes the equestrian sport of Working Equitation. It is now a competitive sport anyone can participate in, from beginner to advanced level riders.

Working Equitation is one of the fastest growing riding competitions and oldest riding disciplines in the world. Working Equitation is what horsemen in all countries with a tradition of handling cattle from horseback do on a daily basis. A multi-faceted equestrian sport whose fundamental purpose is to promote using the traditional styles of working cattle from horseback used in different countries

while displaying a high degree of training and unity between horse and rider. Working Equitation Competitions give horsemen and women from all countries an opportunity to test the skills and abilities of both the horse and rider for the qualities needed in a working environment. It promotes good horsemanship and stockmanship while allowing people to ride in the traditional tack and attire of their heritage. This makes it as fun to watch as it is to compete. The main requirements for Working Equitation are obedience, agility, speed, and cattle handling ability. In order to test each
one of the above qualities that make up a highly trained working horse, the competition has four corresponding phases the first three must be in ever event. Working Dressage ( arena flat work) Ease of Handling (obstacle course) Speed (timed obstacle course) The 4th stage of Cattle Handling is only included at the higher level competitions or championships so anyone no matter their skill level, riding style or the breed and training of their horse may compete locally and have fun!

Ok everyone, it’s July practice day! SATURDAY 4th July. So get off your cold t**h and come along. We are also willing to bribe you with yummy snags to stay for the AGM- yes that’s right. It’s that time of year when you get to have a say in how your club is doing. Get involved! It’s not that time consuming and there is food involved ( let’s be honest, the only way you get me to a meeting is with food). Here’s the link, you know what to do!

Sincere apologies to the riders I may have missed. I was riding on the day too.

Also, my photography skills are similar to my riding skills - sometimes lacks focus and timing 😅
So if there's only a couple of photos of people, that's the reason.
Please don't crop my watermark out, while I'm far from a professional photographer, this is hours of work 🙂

Photos should be downloadable from the link, msg me if there are any issues.

Thanks also to Darren Murphy for photographer duties without notice xx

On behalf of the whole committee, Thankyou to everyone for coming along and making it a fab friendly comp. Thankyou to everyone who pitched in to help out. Cannot run these events without people willing to step up. Thankyou to MG for batting up to provide Saturday lessons, despite riding 2 horses in the comp. Special shout out to the epic ground crew ( Lesley, you and your Ute make a HUGE difference to set up and pack up). Lots of love to the cooks and bakers ( be thankful it’s not me). Last but not least, MASSIVE hug to madam president Deb who somehow manages to keep our well meaning but sometimes accidentally problematic ( don’t ask how I got blood all over my comp pants) committee mostly functional ( but always fun). Love you Deb. Oh and our AGM is coming up, so if you too would like to join our motley gang of rabble rousers, don’t be shy! ( we have great dinner meetings- there are occasionally puppies involved)
