Testimonials 


Hi , I am writing on behalf of our club to say thank you so much for an excellent weekend. I attended Saturday and Sunday and was thoroughly impressed by the facilities, staff and volunteers. It was lovely to approach stewards who were friendly and efficient. The venue was beautifully presented and must take an enormous effort to keep up. I look forward to visiting again, hopefully before next years final.

Maudie and I would like to thank-you all for an amazing few days. My daughter took part in all three events and had a great time and learnt so much over the few days. You were fantastic, always so helpful and so were all the team, it was fantastic being part of it and experiencing Championships at this level. My daughter is 11 and so we will have hopefully many more to come. It also gave me a chance to catch up with friends from your area who I have not seen for a long time and we were all laughing as we were not doing what all these children were doing at 11, it is amazing what they are able to do now. Please pass on our thanks to everyone.

Huge thank you to all the team at ISEC and congratulations on such a… successful 1st hunter trial. For a hunter trial the jumps were all BE standard, placed to encourage good riding, undulations taught balance and location allowed for great spectator viewing, you even sorted out the weather man who had not been playing ball prior to the event. Thanks to all the fence judges, start box and timekeepers for giving up all of your Saturday just to allow us to have some fun, cant wait till the next one…

Hi Katie, Can you pass on my thanks to all involved in the event on Saturday. It well organised, a super course and rode really well – it’s only my 3rd hunter trial on Casper and even more delighted that we came 4th in the Senior Novice Class. Thanks again and looking forward to the next hunter trials!

On my recent travels to the Borders I was given a voucher for a riding lesson at your centre. I just wanted to say how great Tom and Nicole (one of your students) were. Both of them were lovely and very friendly. As I hadn’t been on a horse in 8 years, Tom was great in providing re-fresh tips and along with Nicole, both were brilliant at reassuring me and checking I was comfortable and ready before commencing trotting or cantering. Thank you to both of them who made it so much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be looking up a centre here in Brisbane.

Hi, Please could you pass on a huge thank you to everyone for making our coaching day today such a success. So lucky to have the use of such a fab venue, the surface is brilliant, variety of jump exceptional and of course most important if all, lovely loos, food and people!!

I wanted to drop you a short e-mail to thank you and all at ISEC for the wonderful day at Petplan on Saturday.  It was our first time at the centre and we were hugely impressed by the organisation of the whole event, not to mention the amazingly clean loos (and copious toilet rolls) and the very welcome hot and cold food and drinks from the café.  The e-mail you sent out to competitors was also extremely useful.  We will certainly be back again!  Thanks again

Dear Katie and Team, Just a note to thank you for a great competition at the weekend, which my husband and daughter thoroughly enjoyed.  It was so well organised, ran to time and the fastest results posting EVER!   Please pass on our appreciation to everyone on the day who helped make things run so smoothly (particularly the young lady who was on door duty during the Medium bronze test … one rider was very rude to her at the end of the test and it was completely uncalled for).
— Jenn Mackie. (Petplan Equine Area Festival)

Hi, thank you all for a very well organised, friendly  Pet Plan………..   the fact that you processed the results so quickly and accurately, and had sensible prize givings, meant we could all take part and get on the long road home asap…
