Youth Come & Try Day

Equestrian Queensland (EQ) and Interschool Queensland (IQ) conducted a Youth Come and Try Day on 23 October 2021 at Jimboomba Pony Club grounds.

It was a very relaxed fun day where parents, juniors and their horses had the opportunity to try their hand at IQ. There were on horse sessions with Jumping, Dressage Protocol (Prep - walk/trot test) and Show Horse Protocol classes as well as off horse sessions learning more about the IQ program, horse presentation and horse safety/welfare.

The day was aimed at new IQ participants or those wanting to gain confidence or try a new discipline. 

We would like to thank the following people who gave their time to support this initiative and also thank Jimboomba Pony Club for the use of their lovely facility which was perfect for our event. 

Officials - Terri Langdon (Jump Judge), Sonja Wyeth (Dressage Judge) and Toni Harper-Purcell (Show Horse Judge)

Volunteers - Jayde Mckinnon, Adam Mckinnon, Grace Beatty, Mirran Robinson, Emily McCabe, Claire Power, Patrick Lowe and Talia Criss 

Off horse - Christine Thompson from Equine Muscle Matters
