Shows

Students will compete with the Principal and the assistant at various shows (dressage, x-country, showing etc) where they will get hands on experience in show turnout and support. Students will also be required to help out at events, such as being jump judges for x-country shows, scribes at dressage shows, as well as time keepers at the showjumping. The Plettenberg Equestrian Academy is also in the process of putting in new arenas, enabling us to hold top class shows of our own.

We have had a very eventful show months over the past few months.  All riders and horses were in placings from 1st - 4th.  We are looking forward to a very eventful show year.  Goodluck to all the riders and horses.

We took our youngstock to their first show on the 14th of March.  All of them did very well and am looking forward to them competing this year.

Outings

Students will go on a series of outings throughout their ten months at Plettenberg Equestrian Academy. These outings are designed to give students a broader idea of what other stable designs and yard setups are like. It will also allow them to enjoy different aspects of the horse industry in a fun and relaxed manor. Some of the outings will include race day, seeing various stud farms, polo game as well as teambuilding activities and outings such as:

• Paintball
• Hiking
• Bird and monkey land
• Moonlight rides
