March 30, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Working Equitation club (SBWE) hosted more than 70 horse and rider combinations earlier this month in a two-day competition at the Nanango Showgrounds.<\/p>\n

Competitors came from across south-east Queensland and as far north as Agnes Waters for the first official Australian National Working Equitation Queensland event for 2023.<\/p>\n

Some rain over the weekend may have dampened the grounds but not the competitors\u2019 spirits.<\/p>\n

There were representatives from six of the seven affiliated Queensland clubs in attendance.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett club fielded entries from Introductory right through to the Consagrados I level.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SBWE was able to offer members the opportunity to compete in the 4th<\/sup> Phase of Working Equitation, ie Team Cattle Penning.<\/p>\n

Five teams of riders took to the arena with each member of the team attempting to safely and successfully pen their allocated beast within the three-minute allowed time-frame.<\/p>\n

Of the 20 rider and horse combinations, 18 penned their beast, which was an outstanding result.<\/p>\n

Cattle donor Gordon Ward supplied very docile jersey heifers for the event.<\/p>\n

“Without the support of people like Mr Ward, we could not have offered this additional phase to our competitors,” SBWE president Julie Brown said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We were honoured to have Mr Andrew Mulligan, the Chair of Australian National Working Equitation Ltd, and his daughter Bridie, once again travel from Mudgee to officiate over the weekend.<\/p>\n

“The standard of competition over the two days was very high.<\/p>\n

“Working Equitation is a vibrant, technical discipline comprising three compulsory phases which are the Dressage test, Ease of Handling (which is Dressage around obstacles), a timed Speed event around obstacles, and the optional Team Cattle Penning Phase.<\/p>\n

“Originating in European countries, the sport has developed a solid following in Australia with affiliated clubs in four States and now in the Northern Territory.<\/p>\n

“Competitors are awarded points for placing in each phase with the points accumulating and the highest points combination being declared the winner.<\/p>\n

“All competitors receive feedback in the form of results sheets showing the allocated marks along with comments from the judge.<\/p>\n

“The sport is open to all ages and genders, riding all breeds of horses in riders\u2019 choice of tack.”<\/p>\n

The\u00a0SBWE club was formed in 2019.<\/p>\n

“Anybody wanting more information is welcome to contact us at sbweclub@outlook.com<\/a>,” Julie said.<\/strong><\/p>\n
