Volunteers for
Equitana
November, 2008
The
previous vaulting displays at Equitana Melbourne and Brisbane were
really a highlight of both events, and I was delighted to be the
announcer. Even some years later I still get comments on how
wonderful they were, and with the crowds really drawn to each event,
the awe-inspiring moves left everyone spellbound!
We
are now looking for experienced vaulters for:
a)
experienced vaulters
demonstrating
b)
being involved in a
vaulting competition - as vaulters or volunteers
c)
experienced vaulters
demonstrating with a barrel, and helping children to “have a go”
d)
for non-vaulters –
volunteering to help with the vaulting in the interactive area
Equitana is obviously the most prestigious, and largest, equine
sports event (other than racing) in Australia, and has now become so
large they have extended to the massive brand new refurbished
Melbourne Show Grounds. It is a wonderful way to promote the sport
to an enormous amount of spectators from every state in Australia,
and a marvellous way to get exposure and experience in showmanship
to young vaulters.
We
are very enthusiastic down here to welcome you.
Please email me
Very best wishes,
Colleen Kelly

Fun for Juniors
You can start at a walk, they are supported from both sides, the horse is on the
lunge, so it's safe, and feels secure, and parents are encouraged to watch
or help. Juniors learn in
a wonderful team environment to trust the horse and the people around them.
It's not long before they want to "start the tricks"!
Great for
Adults
Come and watch!
You may never get to do the complicated moves, but you will be
astounded at how it helps your confidence, and ability to do higher
dressage & jumping moves. We meet every
week and you
can just 'come & watch', you can bring your own horses, or use ours.
It's inexpensive, super fun & super-safe! And everyone is
welcome...but
check the calendar, and do phone or
email before you come. No
matter what your age you can gain confidence, trust and GET YOUR
NERVE BACK
