Working Equitation Kaikohe & BOI

Working Equitation is a relatively new sport in NZ, which is quickly growing in popularity, the emphasis is on harmony between horse and rider, it is a super-fun way to train your horse and to develop that feeling of partnership. 

​​​​​​​

Working Equitation has 3 main phases:

• Flatwork test performed in a 40x20 arena,
• Ease of handling an obstacle test judged on the horse/rider partnership, demonstrating calmness, confidence, harmony and finesse,  
• Speed taken on the time to complete the course of obstacles,

There is a 4th phase cattle penning which can be held at teams’ events.

Working Equitation is particularly appealing because it offers a nurturing training environment for riders, regardless of the breed of their horse, or choice of tack or attire.​​​​​​​

The levels of Working Equitation are designed to be progressive training, each putting in place a level of competency and rider/horse skills that will be expanded further in the next level.

We would like to extend an invitation to others interested in joining us, we base ourselves from the Kaikohe showgrounds and as we grow as a club we hope to grow as horse men and women, sharing knowledge and information for everyone's enjoyment. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
