EA PARA EQUESTRIAN DRESSAGE JUDGES SEMINAR

Sunday 29th September 2019
8.30am
State Equestrian Centre, Brigadoon
$20 non PE Judges.
BYO lunch

Riders and supporters are encouraged to come along. Let your friends know.

We have a dedicated group of Para – Equestrian Dressage riders in WA and we are encouraging more riders to get involved.
We have seen a steady increase in numbers and with that a  growing quality of performances in the horse rider combinations.
Come along and find out how high the skill levels need to be for each level.
Many riders compete in open EA Competitive Dressage as well as Para –Equestrian Competition.

The day will be an update reaccreditation seminar for existing Para Equestrian Judges and will count as a workshop for other judges.
We would like to encourage more of our EA judges Elementary and above to become Para Equestrian Dressage Judges. It is an enjoyable part of judging. Our riders are enthusiastic and show high skill levels when it comes to asking their horse to do the job.

This year some of our Para riders have been able to work with or be judged by some of the best judges in the world. Our very own Australian  FEI 5* Judges Mary Seefried, Suzie Hoevenaars and Maria Schwenessen. Val Mayger has encouraged new riders to join the ranks. We are quietly confident that our WA  riders will do well in the future.

We are fortunate to have two FEI PE Judges in WA. Wendy Barker and Lisa Baker both of whom travel overseas judging.

We would like to support our Para Equestrian riders on their chosen pathway.

We need more Para Equestrian Judges.

We’ll be announcing the lucky riders chosen for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity over the coming weeks, but in the meantime don’t forget to grab your tickets from TryBooking before they sell out.

There’ll be a range of food choices on offer both before and during the event, including Indian, Mexican and burgers, along with the all-important bar and a coffee van. Bring your wallet too, because there’ll be plenty of goodies for sale at the La Noir Saddleworld, Spooks Riding, Pimp My Pony and County Saddlery trade stalls. We’ll also be selling $5 raffle tickets, giving you the chance to win a PDS saddle from the Carl Hester Collection kindly donated by La Noir Saddleworld, and special event caps which are great for Carl to sign for only $20.

Gates open at 2.30pm before the masterclass class kicks off at 4.30pm. The evening concludes with an autograph session.

COMMIT TO COMPLETE COACHING COURSE | September Clinic Write-Up

26/09/2019

The final ‘Commit to Coaching’ four day intensive course was a great success with a number of trainees successfully completing their personal coaching goals. The group lessons challenged some trainees, particularly in the areas of moving them around the arena safely and setting up their exercises in order to achieve their lesson goals. Overall, the trainee’s enthusiasm and support of each other throughout the course was very impressive. The response from those offering to be volunteer ‘demo’ riders was amazing with 35 riders giving up their time to ride for the trainees over the four days. Their riding standard was excellent and gave the trainees ample opportunity to develop their coaching skills. Some of the riders came each day. We couldn’t have managed without them.

Entries are steadily coming in for the ARCA Spring Challenge hosted by Orange Grove ARC. Have you got yours in? It's great to see the numbers in the higher and team classes.

Bakers Hill ARC are holding an unoffical dressage competition on the 6th of October, offering the same tests as the upcoming Spring Challenge. The perfect opportunity for one last practice! 

Eastern Wheatbelt Riding Club are running an Encouragement Breed Show Trilogy to support the equestrian sections at their local Agricultural Shows. Entrants who attend all three shows will go into a special prize draw and there are lovely sashes and rosettes on offer. Ag Shows are an EXCELLENT environment for desensitisation of young or green horses, and because the classes are inhand there is no pressure to ride!
