Equestrian Information
General Info
The NX Equestrian team is made up of many different levels of riders and students that have never experienced riding horses before. We have proven to have students feeling comfortable on the back of the horse and build on their riding skills. The programme covers basic horsemanship, learning how to catch a horse, brush, pick out feet, feed, & tack up your horse, cover and put back into the paddock.
The riding component covers being lunged to learn how to trot, 1:1, while instructors work with the rest of the group on walking, trotting, cantering (if an established rider) jumping small x bars, paddock walks and learning how to ride out in paddocks.

Trials

Training
The club sessions are training sessions. They are suited to your own child's ability.
Selection process
We go through a very thorough selection process to finalise our teams and players will be placed in a team that our selectors have determined best suits their ability and experience. While inevitably there will be some movement of players, both up and down teams, it is important to remember that this movement can be a result of the following factors:
- New players who didn’t play last year can also create movement for other players, especially if they are placed in a higher team, resulting in other players moving down to a lower team.
- Individual development and growth over the summer months. If individual players have put in an extra effort and completed additional training over the holiday, this can definitely show during trials, resulting in higher performance on the court and some movement between teams.
We understand that some students will have questions regarding the trial process and eventually the team selection – if your child does, please ask them to see Anna in the sports office.
As per our Sports Selection Policy, no correspondence regarding team selection will be entered into. If you wish to view it, please download the document at the bottom of this page.
