ABOUT US... We are delighted to announce that the course has been upgraded to CIC standard enabling riders to compete at up to Olympic Level.
The development of the Swan River Horse Trials Inc., was initiated due to the recognition that talented young sports men and women in Western Australia are being inhibited from reaching their dream of riding at a high level of performance in the sport of Eventing, due to the lack of safe, accredited competitions.
The management committee is made up of dedicated Officials and Event Organizers, who have many years experience in the equestrian sport. The Swan River Horse Trials Inc., is accredited and recognized by the National Equestrian Sports Body - the Equestrian Federation of Australia.
SO WHAT IS A HORSE TRIAL? The Horse Trial, also known as the One Day Event or Three Day Event, is a comprehensive test of all-round ability of both horse and rider. The sport evolved from military training to establish a top class military charger – steadiness and elegance on parade, the ability to gallop across country and have the agility and courage needed for the battlefield. These requirements have been transformed into the three modern phases of the Olympic sport of Eventing – Dressage, Cross-Country and Show Jumping.
Did you know that it is one of the most highly watched Olympic sports! |
