RIDING WITH STICKS AUSTRALIAN OPENNOVICE WALK AND TROT HORSE ARCHERY COMPETITION - SYDNEY/CENTRAL COAST - 12 - 14 June 2026
We are pretty excited about this one and we hope you are too!
We will be holding a dedicated Walk and Trot competition at Sommersby in the NSW Central Coast - just a short drive or train ride from Sydney and Newcastle. This spectacular venue offers a huge undercover arena, picturesque paddocks for a hunt track, and fantastic accommodation and yard facilities.
Not only will you get to compete in a fun and low pressure environment, we will also be teaching you about competitions and how to run them, such as how to score, marshal the tracks, and even judge.
About the Event
This is a novice focused competition for those who have started their horse archery journey and want to experience competition in a low stress environment.
The Competition may be entered in WALK or TROT pace. The Competition will involve competing across 3 tracks designed to pose different challenges to the rider and simulate the type of competition that is typical at national and international horse archery competitions. These will include an arena straight track, and arena track with turns and different target types, and a hunt track.
On Saturday morning all entrants will be able to undertake a quick 2-hour refresher lesson with us as part of the competition entry fees. We will spend time making sure you know how to take all the different shot types you may encounter and generally tuning up your technique.
You will also learn about how competitions are run, scored, how to help score, enter results, marshal the track and judge as part of this event.
Entrants can also chose to come to a Friday refresher clinic on our more standard clinic format and get some more practice and learning in immediately before competition time. We will focus on quivers and different quiver types at this clinic as these assist a lot with competitions and are mandatory on certain track types.
Prizes will be available for 1st to 3rd place in each track as well as overall places. Prizes will be available for walk, trot, and junior categories and potentially more as well depending on entry numbers.
Don't delay, get your entries in now and give yourself something to look forward to in these uncertain times. You can secure your spot with a $200 deposit and pay off between now and June.
