EQ Q & A Educational Series
Welcome to Equestrian Queensland's (EQ) Q&A Educational Series. The Q&A's were launched in April, 2020 to provide another benefit for members. The series includes a range of presenters (EA Coaches, Elite Riders, Officials, Stewards, Sponsors and Members with equestrian related businesses) introduced on the EQ Community Hub facebook group, social media and the EQ website. EQ Members will have the opportunity to vote on questions via the EQ Community Hub, which each presenter will answer and post a short educational video. We have been overwelmed with the response already, if you would like to get involved as a presenter please email [email protected]
