CLUB OF THE MONTH

Warwick Horse Trials Club

Warwick Horse Trials was formed in 1996 as a club for riders who love to train and compete in the sport of eventing and is still going strong.

The Warwick Horse Trials Club is set on 132.1 hectares of rural land located at Morgan Park on the outskirts of Warwick. Over the years the Club has developed and maintains the most expansive eventing venue in all of Queensland.

It’s functioned for 22 years during which time it has hosted many one and three day events including FEI world cup qualifiers. The Club’s facilities include a large clubhouse, dressage and showjumping arenas, a cross-country course, trot up track, 200 horse yards and camping and toilet facilities.

The Club has approximately 100 members. Membership provides riders with the opportunity to school their horses on the picturesque cross country course which offers a variety of jumps up to 3* level - including two water jumps. Apart from member’s open schooling days, there will be three main events held at the club this year, with the first event, DRB Floats Warwick International to be held over the weekend of 16-17 March. This will be the first FEI event for the year in Queensland, and the programme will include classes up to 3* under the new format.

Catering for competitors and spectators on the Saturday night will be provided by the locally run Bluebird Kitchen and Smokehouse pop up restaurant. Past events have attracted 200 plus competitors from juniors to elite level, travelling from Queensland, NSW and Victoria and we hope to attract a similar number to this event.

National level events will be held in the months of June & October, with plans for Express Eventing later in the year.
