With automatic reminders and intuitive tracking, EquiCare ensures that critical tasks don’t fall through the cracks. Since its launch, EquiCare has transformed how equestrians manage their horses. It isn’t just an app, it’s a commitment to better horse management.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: Just Cross Country - EvA65B

We are very fortunate to have Craig Gordon from Just Cross Country as our course builder. He has played a key role in the development and evolution of the event, having been involved in the Wagga Horse Trials for more than 20 years, and he built the entire Narrandera course that you know and love! Craig is known for building courses that are inviting for horse and rider with just the right balance of level-appropriate challenges.

Anyone who has spent time doing course prep with Craig will vouch for his knowledge and passion for course building and course design, and this has him travelling far and wide to design, build and advise on courses for riding clubs and private facilities all over the country.

If you're looking to build new or upgrade existing obstacles, both permanent and portable, Craig is your guy!

Thank you, Craig, for your dedication to our event and for your sponsorship of the EvA65B class.
