Hacking

The Hacking phase holds gymkhanas and a presentation clinic each year. All the events are relaxed and focused on having a good time with our four legged friends and giving us all an excuse to dress up.

Our gymkhana instructional ring combines learning and competition

At the events there will be prizes on offer and your horse doesn't have to be a super model to win. At Northside there are lots of classes to choose from which will suit both you and your horse's ability. If the sport is new to you, it's advised to attend the clinic to learn the basics of presentation, how to perform a workout, and learn about showmanship. This will give you the confidence to be part of the minikhana in the afternoon, and then to progress to the next level.
