The Riders' Club

🐎🌟 What a Day of Equestrian Sport

The riders were outstanding throughout the Dressage, Cross Country, and Showjumping events, demonstrating focus, skill, courage, and exceptional horsemanship. 🌿✨

This international competition brought together riders of all ages and experience levels, including our valued visitors from L'Etrier Club in New Caledonia, creating a wonderful atmosphere of sport, learning, and friendship. 🌏

The energy was high, the horses gave their all, spectators cheered from the sidelines, and the weather could not have been better. Together, it made for an unforgettable day at The Riders' Club.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the event — our sponsor, judges, coaches, staff, volunteers, supporters, and the wider community. These events are only possible because of the many people working behind the scenes and the spectators who come out to encourage our riders. 🤠🐴

Congratulations to every competitor and their horses. Your dedication, sportsmanship, and partnership were on full display throughout the day, and you should all be incredibly proud.

📸 Event highlights and competition results coming soon!

🐎🌟 Thank You to Head Hunter

Events like the Head Hunter International Event are only possible through the generous support of sponsors who believe in more than just sport — they believe in people.

Through their support, we are able to create meaningful opportunities for riders and coaches alike, fostering cultural exchange, athletic development, and the growth of essential life skills in young people as they prepare for the future. 🌿✨

These partnerships help us build more than competition — they help us build confidence, resilience, teamwork, and connection through horses.

We are sincerely grateful for the organisations, like Head Hunter who stand behind this vision and help make it a reality. 🤠🐴

🐎🌿 A Unique Opportunity for Coaching & Professional Exchange 🌿🐎

As part of the upcoming Head Hunter International Event, The Riders’ Club is proud to facilitate a valuable exchange between visiting and local instructors — creating space for shared knowledge, different training approaches, and professional collaboration within equestrian sport. ✨

For riders, this is an exceptional opportunity to be exposed to a variety of coaching styles and experience levels, supporting growth, adaptability, and confidence in their riding.

Stephanie Caillaud, owner of The Riders’ Club, is the only instructor on the island certified as an FFE (Fédération Française d’Équitation) Level 1 Professional Riding Instructor, with both French and American professional certifications — qualified to teach riders at all levels, including professionals. 🌿🐎

Renaud Dejean, the New Caledonia coach, brings unique skills and expertise that will benefit our riders.

This blend of international expertise and local horsemanship creates a rare and enriching learning environment for all participants.

During their stay, riders will take part in a full program of training across dressage, showjumping, and cross-country, working alongside our local riders to share skills, experience, and horsemanship in a collaborative and supportive environment.

Beyond the arena, we’re also proud to showcase the beauty of Vanuatu — with a range of off-horse activities and experiences that highlight some of the island’s most stunning locations. It’s a chance to build connection not only through sport, but through culture, landscape, and friendship. 🌴🌊

We look forward to an incredible week of learning, growth, and shared passion for the horses that bring us together.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Experience

"Cannot recommend this particular riding experience enough!! We had such a good time. My partner is a more experienced horse rider and only had good things to say about the health, condition and temperament of their horses.

Elli and Stephanie are accomodating and wonderful people. I had basically never touched a horse before and felt safe and supported, while my partner had such fun cantering and riding through the drop dead gorgeous scenery (the photos do no justice).

Very well worth a visit and offers a very different side of Vanuatu!! This was a highlight :))"

Thank you for sharing your experience with us Erika.
