We have put together an education program with a
remarkable array of topics. Leading educators and

international visitors on the menu.
We are very grateful to our international presenters,
Carl Hester, Al Dunning and Pat and Linda Parelli for

As a special feature for the Sydney program we are
introducing The Mitavite Waler Showcase, which is
designed to raise awareness of the plight of Australia’s
iconic war horses in an educational and entertaining
format that the whole family will enjoy.
We are proud that we have been able to attract them
to EQUITANA Sydney to showcase their incredible talent
and expertise, as do many internationally regarded
Aussies including Brett Parbery, Paul Tapner, Dr Andrew
McLean and Ken Fawkner.
This year we are pleased to be conducting the newly
configured EQUITANA Australian Open Finals in the
sports of reining and barrel racing.
We are also thrilled to be hosting the Be the Influence

pleased to present the finals in international standard

We are also pleased to present a variety of other
amazing competitions at EQUITANA Sydney, including:

as ever.

OUR STAR PRESENTERS
CARL HESTER
Britain’s leading international riders in the sport of
dressage, currently ranked number two in the
Federation Equestre International (FEI) world
individual dressage rankings.
EQUITANA Australia is proud to announce that UK gold
medalist dressage star, Carl Hester, will be delivering
the Specialist Dressage Clinic at the Sydney event this
year.
He began his dressage career in style, winning the
1985 National Young Rider Championship just 18
months after taking up dressage.
Carl, 44, was born on the Isle of Sark and is one of
In his competition career as a senior, Carl amassed a
record of 63 national dressage titles and has taken out
the British Dressage National Championship seven
times.
He has competed in four Olympics, one World
Equestrian Games, four European Championships and
has reached one World Cup Final.
From his first Olympic competition at Athens in 2004,
where he and Escapado were the highest-placed
British combination, through to the many
championship wins and the heartbreak in 2008 when
both his Olympic contenders ended up out of the
running due to injuries, Carl has continued his upward
march.
In 2009, Carl and his new ride, Uthopia, achieved
results of 76.11 per cent at Premier League PSG and
Concours de Dressage International (CDI) Inter 1
winning with 76.66pc.
The trail of success continued with him being part of
the silver medal winning team at the 2010 Alltech
World Equestrian Games in Kentucky on Liebling II.
In 2011, he won an historic team gold medal at the
2011 European Championships in Rotterdam, as well
as achieving individual silver medals in the Grand Prix
Special and Grand Prix Freestyle with the exciting
Uthopia.
The pair rounded off last year with stunning
performances in the ground breaking British team at
the London Olympics, with scores of 75.44pc in the
grand prix and 83.45pc in the freestyle, to win team
gold on Uthopia.
While Carl has rightfully earned the reputation as one
of the greatest dressage riders of our time, his
incredible skill as a trainer is also acknowledged
internationally.
From winning Dressage Trainer of the Year in 1997, to
coaching protégée Charlotte Dujardin to double gold
at the Olympics last year, Carl continues to grow as a
trainer and will help you to get the feel and technique
he shows in every ride.

US CHAMPION horseman and trainer, Al Dunning, will be one
of the featured international clinicians this year.
He has been living and riding horses in Arizona since he was
eight years old and went on to further his skills with mentors
such as Jim Paul, John Hoyt and Don Dodge.
Through the years, Al developed his multi-faceted business
with a focus on the development of champion horses and
riders.
He has owned and operated “Almosta Ranch” in Scottsdale,
Arizona, since 1970 and his training and competition
expertise has elevated him to great success around the
world.
“Almosta Ranch” is now the centre of a dynamic horse
community, offering world class cutting horses for sale, as
well as expert horse training.
Al Dunning has earned the undisputed title of one of the
world’s greatest horse and rider trainers.
He and his students have won 34 world and reserve world
titles with the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA),
National Reining Horse Association, National Reined Cow
Horse Association, and the National Cutting Horse
Association.
In addition, Al conducts clinics worldwide and has recently
developed Team AD International, an online training program
and trade school for western horseman.
He has won numerous awards for his contribution to equine
associations, within the community, and for the books and
articles he has authored, including The Ultimate Level of
Horsemanship; Reining and Reining Completely Revised.
Reining has now sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide.
Al trained and showed the great buckskin performance horse
Expensive Hobby, which was inducted into the AQHA Hall of
Fame in 2007, was the recipient of the 1996 AQHA
Professional Horseman of the Year and was chosen as the
2003 NCHA Zane Schulte Trainer of the Year.
He has also been president and youth advisor for the Arizona
Quarter Horse Breeders Association, is an approved judge for
the AQHA (having judged at the AQHA World Show three
times) and was a member of the AQHA Team Wrangler.
The wealth of training and riding knowledge that Al Dunning
brings to the table is phenomenal, so don’t miss the

OUR STAR PRESENTERS
PAT AND LINDA PARELLI
EQUITANA Australia is pleased to present the dynamic team
of Pat and Linda Parelli as part of its education program this
year.
PAT PARELLI
Pat Parelli is the founder of Parelli Natural Horsemanship
(PNH), a world-class horseman, and one of the most
engaging, spirited and imaginative teachers the
horsemanship world has ever seen.
He learned from some of the world’s best horsemen, and the
reverence he shows for his mentors is truly inspiring.
Pat was born in the California Bay area and from an early age
his love of horses was very apparent.
Throughout his formative years, he went out of his way to
learn from some incredible horsemen and the lessons and
skills Pat learned from these men shaped his desire to put
the well-being of the horse first.
In the early 1990s the Parelli brand took off when, along
with his wife Linda, he coined the term “natural horsemanship”.
The first Parelli instructor program was organised in
1993, and two years later, the first Parelli Centre was
launched.
Currently, Parelli Natural Horsemanship has centres on three
continents and hundreds of thousands of students the world
over.
Pat remains the face of natural horsemanship, and his
never-ending desire to make the world a better place for
horses and humans has led to Parelli Natural Horsemanship’s
reputation as one of the most popular horse training
programs in the world.
LINDA PARELLI
Linda’s experience with Pat Parelli and as co-founder of
Parelli Natural Horsemanship (PNH), coupled with her time
studying with classical dressage master Walter Zettl, has
given her unique insight into horse behaviour and
development.
Linda’s gift for identifying and interpreting horse behaviour
and teaching brings out the best in her student’s horse and
makes her one of the most sought-after natural
horsemanship experts in the world today.
Full of passion and devotion to natural horsemanship, Linda
is an inspiration to horsemen and horsewomen of all
disciplines.
She believes the combination of PNH and classical training
provides the ultimate recipe for horse and rider success.
four distinct stages to help horses be more confident with
the bit and to teach riders to have more “feel”.
Through her work with Walter Zettl she came up with a way
to explain and teach contact with the horse.
The Game of Contact breaks achieving contact down into
Following the classical training scale, the Game of
Contact provides a step-by-step method for horses
and humans to achieve contact and partnership.

under 34 inches or 8.2 hands high.
The Independent Miniature Horse Registry (IMHR)

including lines from the United Kingdom, Europe,
New Zealand and the United States.

numerous times these equines saved their
rider’s lives have been documented in
many publications and films.
important role Waler horses have played in
our Australian heritage but also of the
potential for partnership and success that
can be achieved with these horses when
given the opportunity.
However, now these Australian icons need
our help to survive.
“Thank you to EQUITANA, the official
sponsors and the talented trainers who
have given their time to this project.”
Today Waler Horses run free in central
Australia and are rounded up on a regular
basis and sent for processing as pet food.
When their plight was brought to the
attention of EQUITANA Australia, we
contacted the Waler Horse Society of
Australia with an idea on how we could
help.
Elizabeth Jennings from the Waler Horse
Society instantly saw how working with
EQUITANA Australia could create more
awareness and encourage people to look at
the Waler as a potential riding partner.
“The EQUITANA Mitavite Waler Legacy
project has presented a wonderful
opportunity to showcase these amazing
Waler horses,” Ms Jennings said.

engage each and every person it touches

provided leather care, hoof care and
grooming products; Diamond Boots
Australia have kept the Walers’ legs well
protected during their training; Wild Horse

INTRODUCING THE TRAINERS
RHONDA ARMSTRONG – DIGGER’S ALL-ROUNDER MATE
Taking over the training reins of a wild Waler at the halfway
mark would be a challenge for anyone, but Rhonda
Armstrong’s entire life and that of her family’s has been
centred around horses.
Show jumping and novelties were her first passion and she
rode novelty ponies for Pat Keneally, and Suzie Wong.
Rhonda then gained many years experience in jumping,
eventing, dressage and showing before moving onto the
western and open hack rings with her Appaloosa.
Thirteen years ago Rhonda had heart failure and ended up in
a wheelchair but soldiered on through years of intense
treatment.
Digger is the first horse that she has educated since
becoming ill and she is proud to be able to train Digger in
memory of her grandfather, Leslie Oliver Langton, who was
in the 4th Light Horse and at the charge of Beersheba.
■ Email [email protected]
■ Rhonda’s training sessions will be at 4pm, Friday,
November 8 and 3pm, Sunday, November 10 in the Think
Fencing Woodgrain Arena
considered so valuable when facing combat
situations.
With daily education sessions and a chance
to meet the Waler horses and their trainers
in the Mitavite Waler Barn in addition to the
Showcase, there is no shortage of
opportunity to see these remarkable horses.

INTRODUCING THE TRAINERS
WAYNE ARMSTRONG – TROOPER’S CARRIAGE
DRIVING MATE
Wayne’s father was a harness racing trainer
and driver and after his death at a race at the
Melbourne showgrounds it became
necessary for Wayne to work in the stables,
educating and training horses at only 14.
CHRISTY CONNOR – BILL’S TRICK RIDING MATE
Christy Connor has been around horses
since she was born, living on a cattle and
sheep property in the Southern Tablelands
of NSW.
She runs her own horse breaking and
training business, CC’s Equine Training, from
her home town of Taralga.
After training and driving many winners in
country and metropolitan Victoria, he turned
to farriery.
Christy competes in Stockman Challenge
and has had great success through the
years, winning many ladies championship
titles.
Through his 45 years with horses, he has also
ridden and competed in showing, jumping,
dressage, one day eventing and western.
She also competes in campdrafting, team
penning/yarding, showjumping and shows.
However, for the past 17 years Wayne’s
passion has been cross country driving.
Wayne’s approach to starting young horses
provides his pupils with the tools they need
to create a successful partnership with their
horse – in any discipline.
■ Wayne’s training sessions will be at
11am, Friday, November 8 and 12.45pm,
Sunday, November 10 in the Think Fencing

DAMIEN JUDD – RUPERT’S SHOWING MATE
DAVID SIMONS – GUNNER’S REINING MATE
Tamworth trainer Damien Judd’s first
words were “my pony” and he began
showing Arabians at the age of nine.
David Simons has experienced,
firsthand, how some traditional training
methods can cause conflict between the
horse and rider, creating the inevitable
result of tense or fearful horses that are
unable to perform to their maximum
potential.
At 18, Damien purchased a Thoroughbred
and commenced saddle training with some
of Australia’s best dressage riders.
David found the John Lyons training
method best reflected his ambitions in
horse training and in 1998, went to
Colorado, US, where he successfully
completed an intensive accreditation
training program, becoming John’s first
accredited trainer in Australia.
After many years in dressage, he
discovered the training of David and Sandi
Simons and went on to complete a twoyear apprenticeship with them.
Today he is the principal of Moorlands
Equestrian in NSW, where he starts young
horses, gives lessons, attends to his show
team, cares for broodmares and stands
three stallions.
Damien has notched up major wins at
Royal level Australia-wide, but receives the
greatest joy from reconnecting horse
lovers with their passion.
■ Damien’s training sessions will be at
2pm, Thursday, November 7 and
10.30pm, Saturday, November 9 in the
Think Fencing Woodgrain Arena
David has since added to the Lyons
method, developing his own unique
training technique.
At their training facility in Drysdale,
Victoria, David and his wife Sandi train
horses of all ages, sizes and disciplines.

Satuday, November 9 and 10am, Sunday,
November 10 in the Think Fencing Woodgrain
Arena
STEVE HALFPENNY – CORONATION’S DRESSAGE MATE
Steve is another of our trainers who has taken up the
wild Waler reins midway through the program.
Although he was a Parelli Natural Horsemanship trainer
for seven years, Steve felt the need to move in a
different direction.
His key focus has been to find an easier way for the
horse and rider to communicate, so that riders can
better understand the horse’s intrinsic nature.
Steve’s training methods are extremely successful in
helping dressage and competition riders achieve their goals
and he has been conducting clinics across the country.
His training emphasis on a much lighter contact and
responsiveness between horse and rider, led him to
initiate Light Hands Dressage.
This technique is not only effective for dressage and high
level competitors, but is also highly beneficial for anyone
looking to build their horse’s gymnastic ability and
improve communication between the partners.

riding circles as both a competitor and a veterinarian.
Dr Ridgway operates a holistically based veterinary practice in
Aiken, South Carolina, US, with his wife Christine Heraud-Ridgway.
After practicing conventional medicine for more than 20 years, he
decided to direct his focus toward chiropractic and acupuncture.
His philosophy combines veterinary medicine with conventional
medicine to provide the best of both worlds with regard to health
maintenance and peak performance.
Dr Ridgway will explain the biomechanics behind “crooked horse
syndrome”, where the balance and biomechanics of the “natural
horse” needs to be optimised to get true straightness and balance
through an integrative medical view.
He will also cover heel height asymmetry and how it changes joint
angles from the ground up, causing marked changes in the horse’s
balance.

A Long Rein
AN EQUESTRIAN JOURNEY
TL1902724
Four-time equestrian Olympian Mary Hanna was born both
to ride and to compete at the highest level. But she only
realised this when she began to examine her mother’s life and
to understand how much she had inherited from a feisty and
beautiful woman for whom “the horses always came first”.
Mary’s original aim was to write an extraordinary life-long love
story that began in 1933 when her mother, then 17, met a
handsome German naval officer who would later captain the
By MARY HANNA
Kormoran, the cruiser responsible for Australia’s worst-ever
naval disaster, the 1942 sinking of the HMAS Sydney.
A Long Rein is that story – and so much more. It is a
fascinating account of Mary Hanna’s own life and of the
amazing men, women – and horses – who inspired her to
take on the world’s best riders in Atlanta in 1996, in
Sydney in 2000, in Athens in 2004, in London in 2012
and, she hopes, once more in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

BREED VILLAGE
MAP LEGEND
THE KELATO BREED VILLAGE
CHOOSING the breed for you or deciding which horse to
breed with is often seen as a complicated and mysterious
process, making it difficult for many horse enthusiasts to
know where to start.
Most of the time the only interaction horse buyers have with
that element of the industry is when they decide to buy a
horse directly from a breeder.
Often the way that breed types or “bloods” are written
about in sales descriptions can be confusing, or not give you
enough information about the temperament or attributes of
that breed so you can make an informed choice.
EQUITANA’s Kelato Breed Village provides an open and
friendly environment where you can see a great variety of
horses up close and have your questions answered by
knowledgeable individuals and groups.
■ Individual breed and group displays are held daily.

EVENING PROGRAM
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7
EQUITANA AUSTRALIAN OPEN REINING CHAMPIONSHIPS –
A NIGHT OF ACTION AND MUSIC
THE EQUITANA Australian Open Reining Championship,
hosted in conjunction with Reining Australia, promises a
night of beauty and athleticism at its very best. This
incredibly testing sport showcases the seemingly effortless
movements of the elite western trained horse – all to
fabulous music.
The sport of reining is best described as a heightened state of
communication between horse and rider, perfectly blending
the traditions of classical western horsemanship with the
timeless legacy of the ranching horse.
Speedy, powerful manoeuvres combined with impeccable
control and finesse make it fascinating and exciting to watch
as the horse is willingly guided with little or no apparent
resistance.
The horses are scored on a positive numeric scale with 70
denoting a correct performance.
FABULOUS ENTERTAINMENT
The individual manoeuvres are scored in one point
increments from a low of -1.5 to a high of +1.5 for excellent
quality, with 0 signifying a manoeuvre that is correct, but
with no degree of difficulty.
OPENING night guarantees even more for your
money.
For example, a horse starting with a score of 70 could end up
with anything from 68.5 to 71.5 after its first maneuver.
At the EQUITANA Australian Open Reining Championships,
the crowd will get to see the best riders and horses in the
sport demonstrate their talents, as they gallop fast and slow
circles, execute perfect lead changes, spin at amazing speed
while pivoting on a single back foot, roll back, back up, and
perform the quintessential reining manoeuvre, the sliding
stop, that will leave your heart pounding.
As part of the evening program, our special US guest,
Al Dunning, will enthrall you with a special reining
presentation and the amazing Double Dans will
perform one of their internationally acclaimed acts.
And if you are in the audience, please remember that reiners
like to know the crowd is having a good time, so the louder
you yell, hoot and holler, the more enthusiastic they will be.
And, at the end of the night, the four winners of the
EQUITANA youth reining heats will entertain you with
a fun quadrille.
■ 7.30pm in the John Deere Dome
EVENING PROGRAM
DAN James and Dan Steers, best known to
fans as the Double Dans, are back at
EQUITANA this year and it will be the only
time Australian audiences will have the
chance to see the boys perform together
during 2013.
As Dan James, winner of the 2008 Way of
The Horse – Australian Horsemanship
Challenge and the US horsemanship
challenge 2012 Road to the Horse colt
starting championship, has moved to
America and Dan James is busy training
horses and giving clinics across the
country, the boys don’t get the chance to
“play” together much anymore, so watch
out reining fans.
As part of the Australian Open Reining
Championships, the Double Dans will
show us some of the training that has
made Double Dan Horsemanship what it is
today.
Entertainment, education and training is
what the boys are all about and they plan
to raise the bar at EQUITANA Sydney,
adding pyrotechnics and a wonderful
performance with reining horses and fire
whips.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8
HIGH FLYING FRIDAY –
JUMPING AT ITS VERY BEST
EQUITANA and Equestrian Australia present the 2013 Be
the Influence Equestrian Grand Final – World Cup
Jumping.
Proudly supported by naming rights partner “Be the
Influence: Tackling Binge Drinking” and supporting
partners Gow Gates and IRT, Friday evening provides a
night of action for show jumping fans, as the Be The
Influence Equestrian Grand Final – World Cup Jumping
takes centre stage.
Eighteen of Australia’s top rider and horse combinations
will compete to determine who takes out the champion
title. Riders have spent the year battling it out through
the World Cup Series to secure one of the limited spots
on offer in the Be the Influence Equestrian Grand Final.
Riders such as Jamie Kermond, Merrick Ubank, Tom
McDermott, Billy Raymont and Sharon Slater will
provide audiences with an explosion of action as the
elite of the Australian Jumping world pit their amazing
horses against the specially designed course.
The course has been developed by world-renowned
expert, John Valance, who designs approximately 20
shows per year and has designed around 80 World Cup
qualifying competitions, major competitions such as
Sydney Royal Easter Show, Australian Championships
and Agricultural Shows.
John has used all of his considerable skills to challenge
our rider and horse combinations, so it will take both
skill and incredible timing to get through cleanly.
Jumping classes are held over a course of show jumping
obstacles, including verticals, spreads, double and triple
combinations, usually with many turns and changes of
direction.
The intent is to jump cleanly over a set course within an
allotted time. Time faults are assessed for exceeding the
time allowance.
Jumping faults are incurred for knockdowns and blatant
disobedience, such as refusals when the horse stops
before a fence or “runs out”.
Horses are allowed a limited number of refusals before
being disqualified. Placings are based on the lowest
number of points or “faults” accumulated. A horse and
rider who have not accumulated any jumping faults or
penalty points are said to have scored a “clear round.”
PLUS ENTERTAINMENT
TO KICK off the night with energy guaranteed to get our audience in the high flying mood,
EQUITANA has secured just the right entertainment – the Jelly Bean Jam Band.
Deliciously tasty, full-flavoured hits of yesteryear combined with scrumptious servings of current
chart fillers have given Jellybean Jam the recipe for success and has established them as
Australia’s hardest working corporate party act.
Non-stop medleys with tongue in cheek interpretations of the most memorable party tunes from
disco to swing, Motown to Latin, funk, rock and pop, will have you dancing in your seat.
EVENING PROGRAM
WIND UP THE EVENING WITH BREATHTAKING EXCITEMENT
After the World Cup jumping final, the high flying excitement
continues with the “Accumulator Challenge”, which provides
additional prize money for the riders who dare to take it on!
This competition takes place over eight fences with an
increasing degree of difficulty plus one Joker fence.
Bonus points are awarded as follows: one point for clearing
obstacle number one, two points for number two, three
points for number three and so on to a total of 36 points.
No point is awarded if an obstacle is knocked down. The
Accumulator is run against the clock – one round only. The
Joker fence, which is the most difficult, is placed after the
finish line.
Once the rider has crossed the finish line their time is
recorded and he or she has the choice to take on the Joker or
not. If the Joker is cleared, the rider earns double the points
of the last obstacle of the course (16 points). If the Joker is
knocked, these 16 points are deducted from the rider’s total
points.
So make sure you stay till the end of the night for this “make
or break” finish to the Be the Influence Equestrian Grand
Final – Jumping program.

EVENING PROGRAM
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9
DRESSAGE GRAND PRIX FREESTYLE SPECTACULAR
SATURDAY night should not be missed
as EQUITANA Sydney and Equestrian
Australia present the Be the Influence
Equestrian Grand Final – Dressage.
Proudly supported by naming right
partner Be the Influence: Tackling Binge
Drinking and supporting partners Gow
Gates, IRT and the Australian Sports
Commission, the event presents the
beautiful and balletic freestyle
component of the dressage
competition.
This CDI World Cup qualifier not only
demonstrates the high degree of
training and athleticism required for
this level of competition, but provides a
truly moving spectacle, as rider and
horse work together to individual music
choreography that will capture
spectator’s imagination.
The competition will be as tough as an
outstanding Australian field including:
Olympian Mary Hanna and Equestrian
Australia domestic athlete of the year
Maree Tomkinson.
As a special treat for dressage fans,
visiting UK Olympic star Carl Hester will
add a unique freestyle presentation to
the evening, with guest equine partner,
Luxor 118 – Hannoverian chestnut
gelding, owned by Gregory, Katharine
and Jane Farrell from Mulawa
Performance.
ENTERTAINMENT
OPENING our Spectacular Saturday program is the amazing The
Drum Squad, who will transport you to exotic places with world
music rhythms via a drum extravaganza designed to make everyone
want to join in the performance.
The Drum Squad will entertain with pieces such as “Jar-whoo”, a
powerful display of drumming melding American drum line tricks
with ancient African groove; “Synco”, a work inspired by the dance
rhythms of Cuba and Brazil, and “Samba, Bomba and Conga”, which
will take you on a fun filled trip to Rio.
Joining The Drum Squad is composer/performer John Fleming. John
is an award winning songwriter and vocalist known for his work in
music comedy duo Scared Weird Little Guys.
EVENING PROGRAM
TO MAKE it to the EQUITANA Sydney Be The
Influence Equestrian Grand Final – Dressage
competition, horse and rider combinations
have had to make it through a series of five
qualifying events which were held across the
country.
The Equestrian Grand Final concept is a great
innovation for equestrian sport in Australia
and provides riders with the chance to
perform in an international quality venue
and big crowd atmosphere.
The competition is held as a Fédération
Equestre Internationale (FEI) Pacific League
World Cup Qualifier (CDI-W) and is
conducted under FEI rules.
This year, the CDI-W Grand Prix, held on
Friday, November 8, was also a qualifier for
the World Equestrian Games 2014, so the
competition for places has been hot.
Many of Australia’s top dressage competitors
will be joining elite riders, Mary Hanna and
Maree Tompkinson in the arena tonight,
including Vanessa Way, Sheridyn Ashwood,
Mark Arthur, Nadia Coghlan, Anjanette
Harten, Sue Hearn and Jeremy Janjic.
