Equestrian

Congratulations to all our riders who represented our college at the recent Casterton Interschool competition! Some of our riders had their first experience competing on their horse in this event and we hope they continue to participate and improve themselves for future competition in 2018! Zoe Addinsall rode in group 2 and came 3rd and 4th and 4th overall. She was awarded the Ardoch Racing Stables Encouragement award for her group which is a fabulous achievement! Jack Addinsall rode in group 4 and came 4th overall. Well done to both junior riders.

As the year concludes there is a reminder that the last Horsemanship lesson will be on the 5th December 2017. All horsemanship students need to please make sure they finish the year well with their horses and ensure all their areas are left clean and tidy before they depart at the end of term!
