Across four massive days of equine education, demonstrations and shopping, you’ll have a chance to watch some incredible standies strut their stuff, connect with reputable retrainers and learn more about all of the awesome opportunities, events, programs, clubs and associations available exclusively to standardbred owners.
Standardbreds will be represented across a series of activations, hosted collaboratively by HRV Hero, the Standardbred Pleasure and Performance Horse Association (SPPHAV) and Raising the Standards.
You’ll find the SPPHAV crew down in the Breed Village, with a team of representatives on hand – including some gorgeous horses there to soak up some smooches – keen to talk to stall visitors about the many events and awards which are run across the year, for standardbreds participating across a range of performance disciplines.
At site #544 in the Main Pavilion, you’ll find the Hero team, who have kindly offered to share their space with Nic from Raising the Standards, on hand to chat standies, deck riders out in some standardbred clothing bargains and to talk about the outplacement and educational programs available, to support current and future standardbred owners.
There will also be standardbreds involved in demonstrations across each day of Equitana, which can be viewed down in the Breed Village arena (schedule TBC).
So, if you’re a standy lover planning to attend Equitana across November 10th-13th at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds, please make sure you remember to pay the aforementioned standardbred stalls a visit – we can’t wait to meet you!
