EWA Staff Changes.

EWA has carried out a review of our organisational structure that has resulted in two changes to our team. Aryan Ghasemi our High Performance manger and Nick Campbell EWA administrative support have both been made redundant as a result of the restructure.

During Aryan’s eight months in the role he has re-established the EWA HP program after restrictions due to Covid in 2020 and early 2021. It is encouraging to see the HP program progress since his arrival. A solid foundation is now in place for the Sport committee High Performance representative to guide their individual HP requirements with high end administrative support from the EWA office. Aryan has also seen strong growth in the Rising Stars squad and I know he will be missed by all.

Nick has been assisting with EWA admin over the past eight months and been a great team member and will also be missed by all at EWA.

SHOW HORSE TRIPLE CASH BONANZA & SPOT PRIZES

Following on from the popularity of these two initiatives last year, the Show Horse Committee will again be conducting the Triple Cash Bonanza and Spot Prizes at its shows in 2022.

The Triple Cash Bonanza is a random draw for a prize pool of $1,000 for all eligible EWA members. To be eligible for the Triple Cash Bonanza you must attend and compete at the Autumn Pageant, the Winter Gala and Horse and Rider of the Year. Please note that competing in a Newcomer event does not qualify as not everyone has a Newcomer.

You are eligible if you own any horse or pony which has competed at all three shows. It does not have to be the same horse or pony.  You are eligible if you ride and compete at all three shows even if you do not ride your own horse or pony.  Your name will go into the random draw at the Show Horse Awards function to be held provisionally in November and you could win the top prize of $500, or one of four prizes of $125.  Come along and support all our shows to be in with a chance for this great prize draw.

The random draw for Spot Prizes at the three shows last year was also a popular concept. One of our Committee members prepares these and they are drawn on the day of the show.  Listen to the public announcements and you could be the lucky winner.

WAYER is the first event in the WA Farm Shop FEI Eventing Grand Slam for 2022. Horse and rider combinations in all * classes are eligible to earn points in this exciting Leaderboard designed to link the five FEI events held in Western Australia.

The Grand Slam has been designed to help raise the profile of FEI events for the benefit of riders and sponsors alike, to encourage WA’s national, international, and Olympic hopefuls with the kind of atmosphere they can expect at top level competition, and to help the five Organising Committees with additional funding needed to run an FEI event.
