National Equestrian Centre

The National Equestrian Centre (NEQC) is a renowned sports club located in Canberra, Australia. Situated on a sprawling 1500-acre property of picturesque rural landscape, NEQC offers a leading equestrian facility just a short 10-minute drive from the heart of the Nation’s Capital.

At NEQC, they take pride in providing comprehensive support and services for horse enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you are seeking Agistment (horse boarding), Coaching, or the thrill of Competition, NEQC has you covered. They firmly believe that equestrianism is more than just riding a horse; it is an art of non-verbal communication and self-discovery. As a result, NEQC incorporates horsemanship techniques into all their lessons, ensuring that their clients become well-rounded 'Horse People' rather than just horse riders.

NEQC's curriculum is carefully designed to develop essential skills such as confidence, communication, teamwork, responsibility, determination, and patience. Their unique and structured programme nurtures knowledgeable equestrians, preparing them for various disciplines within the equestrian world, including Dressage, Show Jumping, Eventing, Vaulting, and more. Alternatively, if you simply want to enjoy your time with horses, NEQC also offers opportunities for leisurely rides and Pony interactions.

Acknowledging the ongoing presence of COVID-19, NEQC is gradually reopening its programmes and offerings after enduring two years of lockdowns. While official mandates may have been relaxed, NEQC remains committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of their facilities, staff, and clients. Therefore, they continue to maintain a strict COVID regime, viewing it as a necessary quarantine measure.

NEQC requests all visitors and members to follow their guidelines regarding masking, distancing, and hygiene, which are clearly displayed at the entrance of the Centre. If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19, NEQC kindly asks that you refrain from visiting the Centre to prevent the potential spread of infection. The contraction of the virus among their staff could result in the closure of their services, which they aim to avoid.

For the team at NEQC, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all horse lovers is of utmost importance. From pony rides for the littlest riders to international competitions for seasoned equestrians, NEQC strives to provide exceptional support and opportunities for riders of all ages and levels of expertise.
