Far North Equestrian Group Volunteer Training Weekend

The Far North Equestrian Group (FNEG) in Redlynch, Cairns, hosted a successful two-day protocol clinic with Maria Schwennesen, incorporating electronic scoring for the first time. 15 volunteers received hands-on training with scoring tablets, gaining confidence in live scoring and improving competition efficiency. 14 riders benefited from instant test results via email.

A lunchtime Q&A session covered Equestrian Queensland Pathways, fostering discussions on development opportunities. Additionally, Maria Schwennesen and Liz Coe presented a Judge’s Workshop, "The Training Scale Unpacked," on Saturday evening.

Supported by Equestrian Queensland’s Sport Development Funding, the event enhanced both rider and volunteer education, with FNEG stating "The tablet training for scoring purposes was also highly beneficial, enhancing our efficiency and time saving"
