Demo Riders
Ride with an Educator
Want the chance to ride with one of our Equifest Educators? Bring your horse along and step into the arena as a Demo Rider! Throughout the three days of Equifest, our Educators run presentations and clinics, using Demo Riders to showcase their training methods for the audience.
Being a Demo Rider is a unique opportunity — not only do you get to help educate and inspire others, but you and your horse will also receive valuable, individual instruction from nationally recognised industry professionals.
We’re looking for Demo Riders of all levels across Jumping, Eventing, Problem Solving and Horsemanship.
Who can apply?
Anyone who is ready to learn.
How much does it cost?
The cost to be a demo rider for a National Presenter is $150 for 2 sessions.
The cost to be a demo rider for an International Presenter is $350 for 3 sessions. Please see the application form for specific lesson inclusions.
All demo riders receive an Equifest & BTB rider polo and a 3-day event ticket to Equifest. Camping, yarding, ground, and admin fees are additional.
If you are successful, an invoice will be sent.
How do I apply?
Applications will open early September.
Please note, we would love to accommodate everyone, however, spaces are very limited.
