🔴⚪️Congratulations to Interschool - Equestrian SA for running a successful and enjoyable day at the Adelaide Royal Show on Saturday!⚪️🔴

It was so great to see Team SA out on the main arena doing ESA proud!

What a day for Interschool South Australia at the Adelaide Royal Show!

Yesterday was a wonderful celebration of our young riders, our schools and, most importantly, the spirit of Interschool.

A very special thank you to our Show Organiser, Naomi Downer, who worked tirelessly to bring this day together. Naomi, your commitment, organisation and sheer hard work made yesterday possible, and we are incredibly grateful.

To our committee members and the wonderful string of volunteers who gave their time to help, thank you. Not everyone who contributed is captured in this photo, but please know that every person played a part. Days like this simply don’t happen without people willing to step forward and help.

And there was plenty happening beyond the arena too.

A special well done to Caroline Rhodes, who brought school principals and other important dignitaries together in one room, creating an opportunity to talk about Interschool, what it offers our young riders and where we can take it in the future. The future of Interschool South Australia is in good hands.

To the Royal Adelaide Show team, thank you for supporting this initiative and our young riders. The opportunity to compete and represent their schools on such a special stage means so much to them, and we genuinely appreciate your support in making it happen.

And to Ty and Tara Manning - Manning Photography, thank you for being there to capture so many of the moments that made the day special. We are very lucky to have you telling the story of our Interschool community through your lens.

Finally, to our Team SA riders, you made us incredibly proud. You looked sharp, carried yourselves beautifully and, most importantly, supported and celebrated each other.

Yesterday you showed us exactly what Interschool is all about.

We are Team SA!

Next stop… Werribee!

So if you're at the show on Saturday 12th September, make sure to go over and support them on the Main Arena!!

COME AND DISCOVER INTERSCHOOL AT THE Royal Adelaide Show

This Saturday, 12 September, Interschool South Australia is taking over the Main Arena for a special Interschool Exhibition Day — and we’d love the wider equestrian and school communities to come along and see what Interschool is all about.

Interschool brings together young equestrians from schools across South Australia, giving riders the opportunity to represent their school while competing in the sport they love.

Throughout the day, our riders will showcase a range of Interschool disciplines, giving spectators a great insight into the pathway, the competition and, most importantly, the wonderful community behind it.

If you’re a school, teacher, parent or young rider wanting to learn more about Interschool — come and find us! Meet our committee, talk to our families and riders, and discover how your school and students can become involved.

And to our wider South Australian equestrian community, we’d love to see you there supporting the next generation of our sport.
📍 Main Arena, Royal Adelaide Show
📅 Saturday, 12 September

Come and see school spirit and equestrian sport come together.
This is Interschool.
