Showing at NEGS

The NEGS showing team enjoys consistent, outstanding success under the expert tutelage of showing coach and industry professional, Justine Aitken. Justine has competed to considerable success with her own homebred show horses, including wins at Sydney Royal Easter Show and national competitions.

Show riding involves an enormous amount of preparation, with rider and horse appraised on their condition, turn out, aesthetics and harmony as a duo. The show riding team competes around the region and New South Wales at a number of Agricultural Shows, with an emphasis placed on sportswomanship and representing NEGS to the highest degree.
