North West Equestrian Expo

Charlotte, Jaida and Ellie competed at the North west Equestrian Expo at Coonabarabran. The Expo is the largest equestrian interschool event in Australia with 570 riders from over 50 schools, 720 horses and 25 events over the five days. The girls grew in confidence over the weekend and many ‘firsts’ were accomplished. We had some great results this year with an 11th in dressage for Charlotte, a clear X-country and jump round. Jaida had a fabulous run in her sporting events, attempted her first ever 80cm jump round and received a 4th in her hack class. Ellie had an amazing first ever dressage test finishing mid field with a fantastic score of 53%. Everyone had a wonderful weekend, tried new things and made some new friends. Our next competition is Tamworth in October for our whole school team - primary and secondary riders.
