Equestrian 

It’s been a big fortnight for Equestrian with many of our students out and about competing, as well as participating in a clinic at College.

Naracoorte Horse Trials

Congratulations to Zoe Weinberg who placed 3rd in the EA95 junior class and Alison Foster who placed 13th in the EA65 at Naracoorte over 18/19 May weekend. College sponsored of the EV80 Junior class with rider Ellie Bowman taking 1st place and Katrina Brokus taking 2nd and 3rd on two different horses.

Caramut Riding Club Competition

Also on 18/19 May, Mia Richie took two horses to the Caramut Riding Competition. On her ride ‘Pearl Jam’ Mia placed 3rd in the Robbie Leishman Junior competition and 3rd on the Hire Australia 75cm class. On Guizot, she placed 4th in the McKenzie Stockfeeds 65cm. Amazing results!

Vic Youth Squad - Jumping 

We are excited that both Finley and Charlie Hiscock have been selected as members of the Victorian Youth Squad – Jumping. This is testament to the dedication both boys have shown to the sport and to their horses.

Weekend Clinic with Kellie Mitchell

Hamilton put on perfect weather for our flatwork clinic with Kellie on 18 May. Four riders attended, focusing on harmony with their horse and working on transitions. Kellie has become a quick favourite with our junior riders and is the perfect person to introduce your student to horse riding in our Junior Horsemanship Program.

Upcoming Clinics

We are excited to announce that we have secured Paul Williams for a two-day showjumping clinic on 29 and 30 June. Many of you will need no introduction to Paul – he has long been involved in participating, coaching, course building and volunteering in Equestrian Sports. Paul has travelled around Australia and overseas as Chef de Quipe for many teams as well as a mentor for his son, Matt, a three-time Olympian in the sport.

An exclusive booking window for this clinic is open to College students until Monday 3 June, then we will then open up bookings to the wider Hamilton equestrian community to participate in this exciting clinic.
