Equestrian Team 2014

Frankston High School has a very competitive Equestrian Team. I would like to welcome new students who are able to compete to join the team. Please email me with your name.

The last competition of the year was an interschool show day hosted by Toorak College where Frankston High School was represented by Karin Mizunoya.  Karin is an international student, now in Year 12.  She placed FIRST in Smartest on Parade, and placed 3rd in the rider class.

 The next competition is in March and entries close soon so if you are interested please see me for details and an excursion form which all students competing this year must complete.  All the best to all students competing this year.
