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.

EVENTING OFFICIALS SEMINAR

The next National Seminar for Course Designers and Technical Delegates will be held at the State Equestrian Centre on Sunday 5 March 2017 from 9:00am.

The seminar will be delivered by Wayne Copping FEI 3*/4* Course Designer and Technical Delegate. Wayne will focus on the issue of frangible devices for cross country obstacles including the latest information from the FEI Risk Management Seminars held in Tattersalls and Victoria.

National CD’s and TD’s must attend one of these seminars every three years to maintain their accreditation. However, this seminar will be an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest rules, implementation and safety issues involving cross country design.

Please RSVP to delamerie@bigpond.com.
