This little step makes a big difference

When entering a competition, please double-check that your entry and profile information matches your EA records exactly:

✅ Membership Number
✅ Member Name
✅ Horse Registration Number
✅ Horse Name (no apostrophes)

Also worth checking - does your horse need a sport licence? Make sure it's purchased before you enter.

Getting these details right the first time saves your volunteer organising committee a huge amount of time chasing missing info or fixing errors, and means your results are recorded accurately. We really appreciate accurate entries - thank you!

Don't forgot your sport licences!
In the new system you have to purchase your membership, then pop back into and add your licences, so easy to miss this step. Buy any you need at the same time to get the lower price per horse.

The EA guides have an 'How To' to help you out - or always feel free to call the office and Lynsey will process over the phone for you.

Equestrian Tasmania wish to acknowledge the sudden passing of Elaine Gee.

Elaine was a valued long term member of Equestrian Tasmania for many years and contributed greatly to the sport.

She was a dedicated member of Jumping North and was valued for her many years of involvement in the sport.

Elaine always offered kindness, encouragement and unwavering support to those around her and brought much joy to her family, friends and the Equestrian Community.

On behalf of Equestrian Tasmania and our membership we extend our deepest condolences to Elaine's husband Rodney and their two young boys as well as her extended family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
