Albury Wodonga International Horse Trials 2026

🏆 A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO ONE OF OUR OWN!

A massive congratulations to Bradley, who took out the EquiCare EvA65A riding Freddie at the Wagga at Narrandera Horse Trials this weekend! 👏🐴

Bradley is also one of the key people behind the scenes helping make our own horse trials happen, so it’s bloody good to see him getting it done out there too!

Congratulations Bradley and Freddie! 🏆

👀 HAVE YOU GOT OCTOBER IN THE DIARY?

The AWEC International Horse Trials are coming up, and we’d love to see you join us at AWEC for what is going to be a huge event!

Whether you’re chasing your next level, bringing along a young horse, or just keen to get out there and have a crack — we’d love to see you in October.

And if you’re thinking about giving EvA80 a crack, you can be an AWEC member without having to be an EA member. 👀

🐶 SATURDAY NIGHT — SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT!

We have a dog high jump planned for Saturday night! 😂

So bring your four-legged friends and get ready for a bit of fun outside the arena.

More details coming soon… 👀

Come and be part of the AWEC International Horse Trials.

More information and entries coming soon.

✨ AWEC Horse Trials – Appreciation Post ✨

We just wanted to take a moment to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone involved in making this weekend what it was 👏

Coming back through the stables after the event and finding only 2 left to be cleaned across the entire complex… honestly, that’s a first — and it definitely didn’t go unnoticed.

At AWEC, as a bit of a one woman show behind the scenes, I really can’t tell you how much that helps heading into State ODE 🙌

A huge shoutout to our incredible volunteers — this event simply doesn’t happen without you.

Special mentions:
👏 Bradley & Angela for the countless hours behind the scenes
👏 Meredith for helping in the office and filling the gaps wherever needed
👏 Jemima for going above and beyond with food prep for all our volunteers

And of course, a massive thank you to all our judges, officials, supporters, riders, and everyone else who played a part — even if we’ve missed you here, your effort is truly appreciated 💙

It takes a village to run an event like this, and this weekend showed exactly what this community is all about 👏🐎
