Mount Gambier Horse Trials

Without funding, there is a very real chance the 2027 Naracoorte Horse Trials won't go ahead.

For over 50 years, this event has been built by volunteers, supported generations of riders, and been a cornerstone of Eventing South Australia.

Now, we need your help.

If you've ever ridden here, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines, or simply believe this event deserves a future, please donate if you can. Every dollar counts, and if you can't donate, sharing this post could make all the difference.

Let's make sure the next generation gets the same opportunities we've been lucky enough to have.

Donate today. Share today. Help save the Naracoorte Horse Trials. ❤️

Welcome to the Animal Health BetaCALM dressage day.

The first horses are now just making their way from the warm up areas to step into the dressage arenas for the 2026 Community Bank Mount Gambier & District Horse Trials .

While we're hoping for calm, rhythmic, relaxed and accurate tests for all of our combinations that is not always the result. A nervous horse isn't always being "naughty." Stress often starts long before we see the behaviour and BetaCALM could help relieve that stress.

Travel. Competition days. New environments. Time away from their mates. These moments can all put horses under pressure, and what we see on the outside is often just the result.

BetaCALM Paste is designed to support a calm disposition. It's formulation helps support your horse through those moments when they need it most...like dressage day!

BetaCALM have just released a NEW Paste Refill Pouch, making it even easier to top up and stay prepared for your next outing.

Good luck to all the competitors at the 2026 Community Bank Mount Gambier & District Horse Trials we hope you have a BetaCALM day!

✨Dressage action will run until 2pm today
✨Spectators are welcome all day, access is via the main Airport entrance
✨Catering is available all day

As you tuck into bed tonight, we leave you with information about one of our fantastic prize sponsors at the 2026 Community Bank Mount Gambier & District Horse Trials . The NRG Team, who make feeding and grooming easy have supplied vouchers for our placegetters.

In the picturesque Yarra Valley of Victoria, there is a local, family run business
called The NRG Team.

This team is dedicated to crafting practical feeding and grooming solutions for our horses. Perhaps you're already familiar with their renowned products such as No-Nots, Proplaits, or Stride Hoof Dressing. As fellow horse riders, they understand the importance of tailored care, offering everything from Pro-tect Cream for legs to Pink Noze Powder for white faces. Maybe the time is right to consider Stockgain as an all-round feed supplement!
