ENSW Calling for EOIs for Saddle Horse Development Squad

EQUESTRIAN NSW SADDLE HORSE DEVELOPMENT SQUADS

 

Equestrian NSW is thrilled to advertise vacancies are now available for our Junior and Senior Rider Development Squads to further enhance the abilities of the many talented young riders within our state.

 

We are very fortunate to have secured Mrs Joanne Prestwidge and Mr Les Friend who have accepted appointment as the State Squad Coaches.  Both Joanne and Les are highly respected and successful competitors within the Saddle Horse discipline as well as being accredited NCAS coaches.  The knowledge they have to pass on to our young riders will be an important part of their ongoing Saddle Horse careers.

 

The Junior and Senior Development squads both have vacancies available. Training days and camps will be conducted on a regular basis with costs kept to a minimum for squad members, subsidised, in part, by Equestrian NSW where possible.
