Canberra’s 2015 international horse trials has attracted record numbers in the 3* and 2* international classes, all keen to test out the revamped internationally designed cross country course. The tough cross country phase will pose a significant challenge at all levels including the CNC classes that start at Preliminary.
Riders from NZ and the USA will join over 250 combinations from the ACT,NSW, SA ,VIC and QLD at Equestrian Park, in the heart of the nation’s capital. It’s a sport for all the family, with no gender bias, with strong competitive representations at each level by couples, parents and their children. A huge variety of horses will also compete, including off the track thoroughbreds, purpose bred sport horses and every type of brave equine in between.
The venue looks stunning, thanks to the hard working National Capital Horse Trials committee, volunteers, the course designers and builders.
The CIC event is proudly supported by sponsors, 3* Horseland, 2* Bucas Horse Rugs Australia, and 1* Pine Ridge Horse Agistment.
