Question 1

Can I just do in-hand, or do I have to ride?

Accepted Answer

Either, or both; it’s totally up to you. Winsley Park Equestrian values non-ridden work with horses and Annemarie can help you if required, with advice for in-hand, lungeing, or liberty work, as well as ridden activities.

Question 2

Is there an age restriction on horses (or riders)?

Accepted Answer

There is no age restriction on horses for attendance purposes, but horses should be a minimum of 3 years old to be ridden &  a minimum of five years old for jumping. Riders can be any age, although in the case of under 18s, they must have a supervising adult in attendance.

Question 3

Are there horse wash facilities?

Accepted Answer

Drinking water for horses is available at various taps (bring own buckets) but due to the drought, no horse wash/hosing facilities will be available (except in an emergency).

Question 4

Can I bring my young/green horse for some exposure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. They’re welcome and Annemarie will be on hand if you need some assistance or advice.

Question 5

Can I use the cross country course(s)?

Accepted Answer

The Winsley Park Equestrian cross country course(s) will not be open during this event. Cross country lessons are available to be booked with Annemarie at other times. Enquire if interested.

Question 6

Can I bring my stallion?

Accepted Answer

Stallions are permitted, provided that they are well-handled and well-mannered in company. Stallion ID tags/discs must be worn and Stallion ID must be displayed on the float/truck. Stallions should be bitted while being led/ridden/driven.
