HIGH PERFORMANCE SQUADS

High Performance - Competitive Edge
On Tuesday 21st September we had another excellent Competitive Edge session for state squad riders this week with former event rider Lana Brandli of South West Nutrition Services
Amongst other things Lana talked about the Importance of planning meals for competition, just like riders plan to take the feed for their horse they should be planning to take their meals. There was discussion on the importance of hydration and how poor hydration will inhibit the riders ability to make decisions. Also mentioned was how with younger riders how important it is for parents to take an active role in this regard.
It was wonderful to have our great Paralympian Sharon Jarvis who just recently returned back from Tokyo Paralympics join us and quickly tell us about the eating arrangements for the Tokyo Games.
ALL SQUAD RIDERS (including Rising Stars & Interschools National Team) please note that Competitive Edge is part of your squad attendance obligation as an Off-Horse-Component. These sessions which have been produced by National High Performance are being rolled out in each state.
Success at our sport is about more than sitting on our horses.
The next WA CE session will be on the 5th of October, however we have been offered a chance to join Queensland on the 28th of September where Olympic team silver medallist Kevin McNab will be talking on self-confidence and performance.
This will be at 5pm WA time.

Selected businesses and venues are required to keep a contact register of ALL visitors. This includes indoor sporting centres, entertainment venues and community facilities. Equestrian WA has sought clarification on equestrian venues and have been advised that most facilities will be required to participate in the mandatory “SafeWA” QR contract tracing register.
The same hygiene, social distancing and COVID Safety Plan measures remain in place for all venues. We have again reviewed and updated the following documents to support the gradual restart of the equestrian activities in WA.
