Horse rising with SCATER

SCATER (Sunshine Coast Area Trail and Endurance Riders Inc) has been organising Competitive Trail Rides and other horse events on the Sunshine Coast for 32 years.

Competitive Trail Riding (CTR) involves a horse and rider following a marked trail, a distance around 18 kilometres through beautiful forests, completing 10 judge points along the way. CTRs are one of the only sports in which rider and horse are judged separately. As well as riding as an individual at CTRs, riders can ride in a team of 2.

You don’t need a special type of horse or gear for SCATER events - this is a relaxed friendly club, keen to encourage riders of all ages and experience to have a good time, socialise and improve their horsemanship skills.

Following the Meet ‘n’ Greet Walk Only Trail Ride on February 12 is the Judge Point Training Clinic on March 12, an educational day for riders wishing to try Competitive Trail Riding.

Consider renewing your membership or joining SCATER for the first time before February 12 to go in the draw for a red SCATER shirt. Membership details at scater.com.au
