Get on it people!!! Don't miss this amazing event. While your doing your entry remember to reorder your dinner while your on Nominate.com.au
2024 Plantation Treated Timber Mount Gambier Horse Trials
We have been a bit silent here on our socials recently, but that doesn't mean that behind the scenes its been that way! Plans for August are well underway and honestly we are very excited. We are back into the spot we held on the calendar years ago, a lead up event for Friends of Werribee, Spring Horse Trials, Currency Creek and the rest of the eventing season. We have going that will give you a perfect cross country ride regardless of the weather conditions.
Entries open this Friday morning at 5am SA time on Nominate. You're asking why so early? We are opening at that hour so you have time to get your entries in before you feed your horses and head to work, we listened to your comments last year and if this works for you, well it works for us too! Entry numbers for the 2024 event are capped.
Why isn't the event already on Nominate? The simple answer is we have a few things that need to be ironed out and the Nominate staff are the only ones who can do this for us, so we are waiting to publish until it is all working.
To give you a heads up on what we are offering the event schedule is posted along with this post. There is a class for almost everyone with classes from 50cm through to 3.5*.
Classes 1, 2 and 3 this year are called SAEEM and you may be an EA member or you may purchase a club membership for the weekend. This membership costs $20.00 and provides you with public liability cover but does not provide any form of medical cover. It is recommended if you are going to compete as a club member you consider having medical, ambulance and income protection that suits your circumstance. All classes are run under EA rules.
Camping and yards: we have 60 permanent yards available on the grounds and we also have an area within the airport precinct where you are able to build your own yards and camp. Both of these options are to be booked with your entries. When booking yards you may only book for the number of horses you have entered and requests for having yards with friends are to be made with entries.
We can't wait to welcome you back to Mount Gambier in August if you've been before, and if it's your first visit we know you are going to have the best time.
