Another year done and dusted, and we'd like to congratulate all award recipients at the Equestrian WA 2019 Awards Night.

However, none of this would have been made possible without our generous sponsors. So, hats off to all of our sponsors and don't forget to support them!

We also cannot thank you enough for attending the Awards Night. So what did you think? Here's a quick survey so you can tell us what you loved, what you just sorta liked, and what we can do better next time.

We forward to seeing you all again in 2021!

Clean Sport 101

ASADA has released a new online course for grassroots and pathway athletes – Clean Sport 101.

Clean Sport 101 is a simple 15 minute course which gives a snapshot of the rules, the potential dangers, with helpful hints and resources to help keep athletes clean and fair throughout their sporting journey.

It is designed for young, pathway athletes early in their careers who are very unlikely to be tested. Clean Sport 101 was developed in response to feedback from sports, parents and athletes who wanted a less technical option than the Level 1 course for younger athletes.

The course is written for Year 8 level comprehension, and is available on our eLearning website https://elearning.asada.gov.au/.
