NEGS Equestrian

22/06/2026

At the North West Equestrian Expo in Coonabarabran, the spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship showed up in ways that made us incredibly proud. Our equestrian community came home with so much more than trophies—they came home having grown and represented everything we stand for.

And yes, the trophies tell an amazing story too:

🏆 Coonabarabran High School Perpetual Trophy – Taylor C, with 43.75 points as the highest individual scorer across four days of competition.

🏆 Poole Family Perpetual Shield – Awarded since 1993, and NEGS has now claimed it 8 times. This year's winners: Taylor C (43.75), Robin H (41.75), Abbie K (37.75), and Sarah B (26.25).

🏆 Team Six-Bar Shield – For the third consecutive year, our riders have brought this trophy home. Robin H delivered a perfect round (30 points with no rails knocked over in 5 rounds), supported by Annabelle Dunlop and Charlotte Johnson.

🏆 Team Dressage Trophy– Taylor Chick (Champion Elementary), Abbie Kelly (Reserve Champion Elementary), and Robin Henry (3rd Medium).

Individual championships:
Champion Girl 17 Years - Taylor C
Reserve Champion Girl 15 Years - Abbie K
Reserve Champion Girl 17 Years - Robin H

This is what RITE (Responsibility, Integrity, Teamwork, and Excellence) Values look like when they're lived out every single day. Congratulations to our riders, to the families who support them, to the coaches who believe in them, and to everyone who is part of our equestrian community.

Huge congratulations to our NEGS 1 polocrosse team—Hallie T, Sienna P, and Xanthia W—on a brilliant performance at the North West Equestrian Expo! Claiming runners-up in the B grade competition against riders from across the region is no small achievement.

What stands out is how our riders embodied our RITE values every step of the way:
Responsibility to their horses and teammates
Integrity in every class
Teamwork that pushed them to excellence
Excellence as the standard they set for themselves.

Our equestrian program develops young women who lead with confidence, collaborate under pressure, and embrace the discipline that elite sport demands.
When families ask what makes NEGS special, moments like these tell the story better than we ever could. Our girls don't just attend school—they compete, they excel, they grow.

Know a young rider who'd thrive in our equestrian community? Reach out to the Equestrian Centre: 6774 8700 or [email protected]. We'd love to meet them. 🏆
