The Interschools Equestrian Championships attracts student riders from a mix of private and public schools across the ACT region. This year, we were very proud to have a participant - our team of one, Kira Williams in year 9, represented UCHSK with her horse, Delilah, a very polite bay who stands at 14 hh.
Luckily, despite the recent winter weather, the event was held on a beautiful day, with little wind and lots of sun. Kira reports she enjoyed the event very much and looks forward to participating again next year. Kira and Delilah did very well at their first Interschool Equestrian event, with horse and rider winning a first for Most Suitable Mount where Kira was required to ride with a long relaxed rein and guide her horse to walk, trot and canter using body signals with little to no use of hand signals.
If other students with horses would like to participate in future events, we suggest they have a chat with Mr Stirling to be involved in an excellent competition day.
Thanks to Jo Williams for the photographs.
