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.
Demo Riders are required for all levels of jumping, cross country, and horsemanship plus problem solving horses. Spaces are limited, to apply please complete the details in the form below.
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 $190 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 shirt (not those supplying horses), yarding, ground fees and a 3-day event ticket to Equifest.
If you are successful, an invoice will be sent.
How do I apply?
Please note, we would love to accommodate everyone, however, spaces are very limited.
Aplications close on Wednesday 1st October.
