PRACTICE DAY PLUS COWBOY DRESSAGE  SUNDAY 29th MARCH 2026 & OPTIONAL 1 HR SEMI PRIVATE LESSON WITH MATT CHARLES

COME TRY OUR OUR FUN AND RELAXED PRACTICE DAY.

WEQ obstacles will be set out to ride in both EOH and Speed.  

We will also have the Cowboy Dressage Court setup so you can have a go at that as well. No need to know anything about Cowboy Dressage, there will be a caller to help you navigate your way round the court (arena). Great cross training experience and goes really well with WEQ obstacles.

Cowboy Dressage fun is already included as part of the SWEQ practice day at no extra cost.

There is also the option for a 1 hour semi-private (2 people) lesson with Matt Charles from Sliding Lodge

Cost for both options are below:

FORMAT FOR PRACTICE DAY

Gates open 8:30am

8:30am to 9am set up 

9am to 10am  Ground work with obstacles.  This is a great opportunity for those with green horses or new to working equitation, and for those who enjoy the challenge of communicating with their horse on the ground.  We have new obstacles which include some agility style obstacles. 

10am to 1pm Ridden obstacles and WEQ Dressage.  There will be individual obstacle practice, and the opportunity to run through obstacles in a sequence and a speed run. A caller will be available to call WEQ Dressage tests and a 40 x 20m arena set up.   No activities are compulsory and all riders participate at their own pace.

OUR ADDRESS :  325 Sackville Rd Wilberforce (coming from Windsor the nearest cross street  is IronBark Drive on the left. Drive past Ironbark Drive and put your left indicator on and look for the  Woodlands Park Pony Club sign). Our new venue is huge with plenty of float parking, a purpose built sand dressage arena and a large fenced in warm up area and 2 large grass areas.
