2016 Awards Night

More than 200 members of the WA equestrian community gathered at Mulberry on Swan on Friday 3 February to celebrate the sport’s highest achievers of 2016 as part of the Equestrian Western Australia Annual Awards Night. The evening was a great success, with the presentations occurring from 6:30pm-9:30pm (including a dinner break) followed by music, dancing and socialising until midnight.

EWA would like to thank our generous sponsors - Di Candilo Steel City, D'Arcy Slater Foundation, Horseland, Asset Edge Residential and Bates - for their support. Thanks must also be given to the charismatic Shaun Lowry for being MC, and to Horseplay Photography for covering the event.

EWA would also like to congratulate all of the award finalists and winners on their success as a result of the commitment and dedication they have shown to their sport. A list of winners for all of the awards can be viewed below.
