Equiste

Equestrian Australia Training Camp

January 3, 2018February 28, 2018
by Sarah Venamore

We spent a hot few days working through the Introductory (and some Level 1) Horse Management and Riding sections of Equestrian Australia’s workbooks.

The young riders were a great team to work with. A small group then stayed on to commence their orientation day to EA coaching.

The weather was scorching, so we started riding at 6.30am and back into air conditioning as soon as we could to continue the theory indoors.

I was very impressed with the standard and thrilled that we could get so many interested riders and potential coaches out west in the Riverina.

We had breaks with top quality food for the riders to keep them fuelled so they were at their learning best.

Vaulting

Riverina Equiste Vaulters

November 1, 2017February 28, 2018
by Sarah Venamore

Vaulting is the art of gymnastics on horses. There are many teams around Australia.

REV operates out of Equiste, 170 Toorak Rd, Leeton, NSW 2705. Australia. Our vaulting team is a fun progressive team who enjoy challenging tasks and improving their strength and flexibly whilst working with their love of horses. Our vaulters build up their confidence and improve their skills working in a group and team situation. We focus on the individual progressing their artistic talent to music as well as their partnership with another team member. This culminates with the Squad, a team of 6 vaulters working with each other, building trust and sharing ideas to create an inspiring routine with the horse. We vault Tuesdays from 4 -6pm during term time. (Bookings are made on the Calendar page of the website). We compete several times a year around Australia. We have 2 resident horses; Game on (Ned), a 17.2HH Chestnut Gelding, and Artisitic Eclipse (Mallee) a 16HH Bay Gelding.

We also use Ledger (14hh Chestnut gelding) and Bronze (16hh Chestnut gelding), who the owners Elliane and Tanya let us use for the vaulters to spend more time with horses..

Come and visit, we would love to show you our sport!!

by Sarah Venamore

Ladies camp is a few days for you to focus on your own enjoyment being with your horse and other Ladies all sharing great food and company. It’s a chance for you to fulfil your potential in a safe environment with other like minded Ladies. We ride in small groups, learn about different aspects of horsemanship, enjoy homemade cheese with our wine tasting visits to Leeton Wineries and share great meals in an outdoor venue.

Come and join us, we have lots of fun!!

Testimonials:

Sarah I would just like to say that ladies camp was tremendous !!!! I had never had a ridden lesson in my life and was extremely fearful as to whether I would even understand what you wanted Cedrick and I to do. Your instruction catered for many rider/combination levels starting with the basics (which is what I needed). I had a wonderful time trying to learn the basics and you gave us something to come away with and work on. The three days were full of instruction, good company, encouragement and GREAT FOOD -all in a relaxed professional environment. I would thoroughly recommend ladies camp to any person wanting to improve themselves at whatever level for horse or rider. – Karen

What an amazing time I had at Ladies Camp Sep 2017. From the moment I arrived at Sarah’s and over the 3 days the encouragement , lessons, food, company and entertainment were perfect. It was fantastic to see and be part of a group of ladies, out of their comfort zone grow in confidence and skills as riders guided by a professional coach. I feel ladies camp is for everyone, whatever your level you will have fun and learn with your horse.

Thankyou Sarah for your dedication, time and effort. I can’t wait until the next one, please put me on the list!

Kind regards,
Katie Hume

“We had an absolute ball at Sarah’s ladies camp. I thought I was going so I could learn to ride (again) in a fun non-intimidating environment with a group of women at a similar stage in their lives. I certainly got that and so much more! I learnt lots both on and off the horse, the food was to die for and the company great. It felt more like a weekend away at a top retreat. Can’t wait for the next one!”

Michele Groat

I was asked to spend the weekend away with a good friend, not haven ridden for a few months I thought why not, on arrival we were welcomed with a wonderful cuppa and that was just the beginning! the food was exceptional, you would not find better food in Melbourne restaurants, catering for all tastes with multiple courses. The riding lessons were fantastic, learnt heaps, Sarah used terms that I understood and explained why, when and the how, to the level of myself and my wonderful loan horse, I recommend this weekend to everyone younger and older, I will be going back, Thank You Sarah

by Sarah Venamore

Private Vaulting lessons (gymnastics on horseback) are available on a variety of horses. “Ned” is the 17.2hh gelding by Belcam Gambler who Jamie is vaulting on. Lessons cover improving technique in compulsories for the coaches and judges eye with particular attention paid to body core strength and presentation. We also spend time working on components of the freestyle to improve flow and presentation in both walk and canter. For the smaller vaulter we vault on ‘Mallee’ a 16hh paint working on strength and flexibility at walk and trot.

Horse Sale – 15yr Old Gelding by Belcam Gambler

Super competitive gelding with many successes in limited outings. Good to handle and take out. ‘Ned’ has eye catching movement with a judges score of 79%. He has three lovely paces with great overtrack. Currently competing elementary, training medium, but competing HC to keep him graded Preliminary for new rider. Great opportunity for an aspiring rider to join the competitive dressage arena at a reasonable price.
