The Sydney CDI*** has, yet again, cemented itself as Australia’s most prestigious international dressage competition with big entries received across the levels for this year’s event.

Relevant veterinary nursing units of competency and qualifications within the ACM10 Animal Care and Management Training Package are being reviewed to ensure they reflect the current occupational skill standards and needs of industry.

A project is underway to review occupational skills standards and units of competency to improve safety, quality and consistency in the delivery of equine training.

The project Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Expert Working Groups are currently seeking feedback on the content of 156 draft units of competency, including three proposed new units.

Organisers of the 2017 Sydney CDI*** are giving the audience the chance to put themselves in the judges’ seat, with a new app allowing spectators to score competitors.

In a first for the Australasian region, spectators can download the free app and experience judging first hand as they unofficially “score” each competitor as if they were in the judge’s box.

Bellingen’s local agricultural show is coming up fast and there will be a full program of horse events held over the two days of the show. This means participants should start to think about their event entries now.
