Equitana is being held in Sydney, Australia this year and the volunteering application process is now open! I volunteered one year in Melbourne and had an absolute ball. As always, there are different areas in which you can put yourself forward to help out:
- Competition – assistance with competition set ups and running
- Education – assistance with running of educational areas
- Exhibition – assistance with the operation of information stand & customer service
- General Office Administration – assisting organisers as required, may include VIP assistance
- Evening programs in Grand Pavilion Indoor Arena – assistance with ushering and arena set up
- Stables & Breed Village – assistance with general stable duties
- Transfer Team – assistance with escorting horses and their handlers throughout venue
- “Floater” – combination of all above mention duties
Equitana is to be held November 7 – 10, at the Sydney Showground (1 Showground Road, Sydney Olympic Park, NSW 2127). Perhaps you may like to take a look at the volunteer page on the Equitana site for more details.

However mighty its force
Had never achieved its lordly plan
Without the aid of a horse.” – Ella Wilcox
