We would like to introduce riders and their horses to this fascinating and great fun sport.
working equitation is an equestrian 4 Phase discipline, well established as a recognized sport in southern Europe, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Great Britain, Mexico, Brazil and Sweden.
It is based on methods to train horses working on cattle ranches in southern Europe, Mexico and Brazil. There are different levels of competition from novice to advanced, open to all riders and all breeds of horses.
The competition is divided into 3 sections, designed to test horse and rider, through a range of activities combining flat work (Dressage) movements, and obstacle tests, requiring horse and rider, to negotiate a number of obstacles similar to those encountered whilst working in the fields.
This competition aims to promote good horseman ship and a level of submission and control of the horse. It is great fun for horse and rider to participate, Spectators also enjoy this exciting discipline.
Our aim is to prepare not only for individual competitors, but also teams of 4 riders to compete against each other at venues throughout Australia.
