Ev NSW Youth Programme
Eventing NSW has a strong Youth Programme, running two training camps every year and two junior Squads.
In addition Eventing NSW supports and trains teams to represent the State at major events.
Eventing Young Rider Summer School
This camp is open to maximum of 120 riders on a first come, first served basis and is held at the property of Roger and K-A Whyte at Moruya on the south coast in the Summer school holidays.
Eventing Young Rider Winter School
The most recent of these camps was held at the Camden Bicentennial Equestrian Park in July 2009 where more than 70 riders received training for three days followed by a test event at Newcomer through to 1-star level. For a report on this school, click here.

EA (NSW) Equi-skills Program
This program is supported by a number of instructors and while aimed at younger riders is also open to all amateur riders. It involves training in riding and horsemanship, using Work Books provided by Equestrian Australia. These work books are the same as those used for the Riding and Horsemanship modules of the NCAS accreditation for Introductory Coach and Level I Coach. Training may be obtained on an individual or group basis, making it affordable to riders on a budget by sharing the coach's skill with other riders on a regular basis. Coaches who support Equi-Skills include, Sharmayne Spencer, Carolyn James, Morgan Crane, Simon Kale, Sue Wilmington and Pamela Russell-Green.
