OPEN TRAINING DAY

event held at:
ORANGE EQUESTRIAN CLUB 

TOWAC PARK RACECOURSE - EQUESTRIAN RESERVE

27 CANOBOLAS ROAD, ORANGE

OPEN TRAINING DAY

This is an OPEN DAY and is in addition to our regular Club meet and allows members to enjoy an extra opportunity to ride and train at the Equestrian Reserve, and over our lovely new Cross Country jumps. 🤩 The Equestrian Reserve will be OPEN to Club Members from 10am - 2pm for cross country training and general riding.

Jump With Us - Cross Country Training
Each cross country session will be for 1 hour. You are welcome to train/school your horse over individual jumps or a combination.  You won't be able to run the whole cross country course but you will be able to put together a number of jumps for some genuine training. This will be a relaxed open training day and an excellent opportunity to give you and your horse the time you need to really master individual cross country jumps.

Ride With Us - General Riding
If all you want to do is give your horse a day out to ride around and enjoy the beautiful Equestrian Reserve (as well as the company of your fellow awesome Club members), then select this class. Our Ride With Us class is perfect for young or green horses, giving them an opportunity to experience a new environment with other horses and lots of new things to look at!
