VALLEY EQUINE VETERINARY CENTRE

The WA Eventing Committee would like to thank Warwick Vale and the team at Valley Equine Veterinary Centre for their continued support of our state's eventing community.

Valley Equine Veterinary Centre provides $2500 each year to Eventing WA, plus veterinary attendance at one WA FEI CIC/CCI event in an FEI Veterinary Delegate Capacity, and two annual veterinary lectures to WA Eventing Squad Members.

They also sponsor the FEI Young Eventing Rider of the Year Award, which aims to foster the young eventing rider into FEI competitions. The award includes a prize for the most outstanding and successful horse/rider combination of the year and allows for some financial assistance for further training and education for that combination during the following year.

STATE INTERSCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIPS STABLE BOOKINGS

Don't forget to submit your stable booking forms as soon as possible to avoid missing out. The form is attached to the Nominate receipt that is emailed to you after you enter. The SEC will attempt to allocate you a stable with other riders from your school.

Stable payments will not be charged until closer to the event, so if you are waiting to know which days you will need the stable you can still book and finalise the dates later.
