WORKING EQUITATION

A fun way to train and connect with your horse.

Working Equitation is one of the fastest growing horse sports in Australia. Combining dressage, obstacles (known as Style), obstacles at speed (known as Speed) and where possible a Cattle phase (similar to team penning), it truly tests rider and horse on many different levels.

Due to the popularity of this new and exciting sport there are now several official clubs in Queensland – South Burnett, Darling Downs, Logan, Brisbane Southern Districts, Tri-valley, Noosa District & Samford.

Each club hosts training days, non-official and official competitions throughout the year which are listed on the clubs own Facebook page or their website.

The membership for the Australian National Working Equitation (ANWEL) is separate to SEG and is for a financial year. It is $25 for the year and required if you wish to compete at any official competitions or attend other ANWEL club events or training.

The Four Phases

+ Dressage
+ Ease of Handling
+ Speed
+ Cattle

The Ease of Handling and Speed phases are done with set obstacles. The cattle phase is optional and if it is run the scores count towards a team placings only, not for individual placings.

SUITABLE FOR EVERY HORSE & RIDER - EVEN BITLESS

Whether you ride in an English saddle, a stock saddle, a traditional bridle, split reins or a bit-less bridle… you are welcome.

For training days you must have an approved helmet, at competitions your tack must match (ie all english, all western, all stock horse etc). Note there are some bits not permitted, check the ANWEL rule book for this.
