Downs Arabian Club is feeling excited.

1 day ago

The Countdown is On...for the release of the 2019 YouNP schedule. Being released this Monday, only 3 days to go!!

The YouNP is a friendly outing for all Youth and Non Pros wanting to enjoy their Arabian, Arabian Derivative and API horses and ponies.

For anyone wanting to dip their toes into the world of showing, the 'Newbie' classes are designed specifically for those with limited or no showing experience and for All Ages. Best of all, the 'Newbie' classes are open to All Breeds. With a huge variety of led and ridden classes from the traditional open, bridlepath and hunter classes to the exciting novelty events, there is a class (or 4) to suit everyone.

Many professional trainers and riders volunteer their time on the day in one capacity or another and can be seen lending an encouraging hand and sharing their knowledge to make the YouNP a memorable event for all our competitors.

A free sausage sizzle is held at the completion of events for competitors, family & friends to unwind and socialise, while points are tallied up before announcing the coveted High Point and Encouragement awards. Two special awards are also given to a Local Rider and a recently introduced 'Newbie' award .

A friendly show, affordable entries, encouraging judges, and the added bonus of incredible prizes is what we strive to achieve with our YouNP show and this year will see our committee go to greater lengths to give the Youth and Non Pros an opportunity of a lifetime | WATCH THIS SPACE |
3 days until the exciting release...The Countdown is On!!! ...

HORSEMANSHIP for HARMONY

Greg Andrews is the consummate horseman. His horses and riders win at Grand Prix , his handlers at every level of competition but his hidden skills are teaching his students to understand the language of horses. Nervous riders flourish under his guidance as do nervous green horses. If you are looking to achieve the ultimate harmony with Greg Andrews is a must.

Rochelle King-Andrews is a winning FEI rider and coach and has produced many horses from foals to champions in her long and successful career. Rochelle is approachable and friendly and her easy to use system has helped students from Preliminary Dressage to Grand Prix Dressage and Eventing riders win dressage tests, showjumpers come to learn clean flying changes and show riders win their classes at Grand Nationals.

There are limited spaces so please book early.
