💙 Thank You Riders – Ali Soster Clinic & Arena Familiarisation 💙

What a fabulous two days we’ve just had at Blayney Showgrounds! 🦄

From the fine-tuning and biomechanics lightbulb moments in the indoor clinic sessions ✨, to the calm, confidence-building rides in the outdoor familiarisation arenas 🐴 It was wonderful to see so many riders making progress, learning, and smiling along the way.

Plenty of smiley faces, breakthroughs, and shared laughs over the weekend made it truly special 🫶

🙌 Huge thanks to Ali Soster for her incredible insights and wisdom.

👏 Special thanks to our Clinic Coordinator Susan Low for organising the Ali Clinic so seamlessly.

💪 Thank you also to our hardworking committee 💕 and to every member who helped with set-up and pack-down. Your efforts are so appreciated and make days like this possible.

We can’t wait to see you all again for our September Championships, it’s going to be one to remember! 🌟

Sorry not capturing each and everyone of you but do tag us in your posts or drop those videos/photos in the comments. We’ love to see them and share the journey with you 🦄🤩

The draw is now out for our Arena Familiarisation Days on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th August. Please see the schedule for rider times below.

✅ Some of you have kindly volunteered to help (thank you!), and some tasks have been allocated. If you’re around and able to lend a hand, please stop by the indoor arena and check in with the committee. Every bit of help makes the day run smoothly!

👀 You’re also welcome to fence-sit for the Ali Soster clinic in the indoor and enjoy lunch with other members.

📌 A few quick reminders:

Please keep sessions on time ⏰
Bridle numbers must be worn
No lunging in the arenas – lunge yards only
Please pick up any manure 💩

Let’s make it a fabulous weekend together!

With our CWDG September Championships just around the corner, we are in desperate need of 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 to get our indoor temporary stables erected.

We’ve been kindly lent the panels, but our committee simply doesn’t have the strength to put them up ourselves. At an absolute minimum we need two stables erected, but our goal is four to give horses and riders the best possible facilities.

This isn’t just another lesson, it’s an opportunity to dive deep into:
✨ Understanding how your hips and seat influence the horse’s balance and lift
✨ Using half halts effectively to shift weight from the forehand to the hindquarters
✨ Improving shoulder control and connection through the back
✨ Creating more lightness, lift, and freedom in the frame

These are the biomechanics that can truly transform your riding, your feel, and your test scores.
