Working Equitation Clinic
Working Equitation training continues at Laurel View on Sunday 27th July. Clinic spaces are booked through the Facebook page, so if you haven’t already got involved, join the Facebook page at Working Equitation Ireland Interest Group, to find out more about how you can get involved.
The discipline involves riding a short flatwork test in a 20m x 40m arena to include movements required in the Ease of Handling (obstacle course). This is marked in a similar way to Dressage, with flowing movements gaining the higher scores. This is followed by a fun Speed test over a shortened course, with time penalties added for errors.
With over 300 members already, organisers are hoping to build on this and set up a Working Equitation Ireland Association.
