Globetrotting Double Dressage Masterclass with Will Rogers
Globetrotting Double Dressage Masterclass with Will Rogers
Globetrotting Dressage Star Presenter Will Rogers is all about rhythm and relaxation to create a balanced, comfortable and willing horse. When working with equines, he hones in on finding just that to ensure he can have a baseline to build from... and then the magic happens.
Having a horse perform to its best in a dressage arena calls for many layers of discovery and “opening doors” to find answers and reflection. Will is hoping to make that journey a little easier for others.
The masterclass is only available with a Super Ticket or a www.globetrotting.com.au Friday Double Dressage ticket. Super Tickets sold out in 2022, get in quick to avoid disappointment 🎟️

Silverado Sunday Education & Competition Highlights
Although the day finishes slightly earlier than previous days, our Silverado Sunday Program is fast, it's furious and it’s action packed! 🚀🚀🚀
👩🏫 Fundamentals are covered with topics like parasite & worm management, feeding the modern performance horse, recognising and treating hoof pathologies and wound management. In the demonstration arenas learn about the art of Side Saddle riding, harness fitting and arena exercises for the trail. Silverado Sunday is the last opportunity to catch our Star Presenters working in the demo arenas
🏅 If you’re a reining fan don’t miss the Reining Masters 100 on Sunday morning, or watch the Polocrosse on the Kubota Australia Outdoor Arena, or follow the Side Saddle competition up in the Titan Rail Arena on Town Square. It’s a busy day with the crowd favourite final of Globetrotting TWOTH, and the action packed Sporting Horse championships. The family will love Minitana, and can slip over to watch the final round of Barrel Racing where vocal crowd support is essential.

He was a BIG hit in 2022, a good friend of EQUITANA Melbourne, and a renowned horse trainer... so we're excitied to welcome him back as our Horsemanship Featured Presenter for 2024.
INTRODUCING WARWICK SCHILLER ✨
Horses have been part of Warwick's world for as long as he cares to remember. As a 20-something-year-old he headed to the States to turn his dream of training horses into reality. While he has dabbled across the disciplines, he was hugely competitive in reining and went on to represent Australia at two World Championships as well as becoming the National Reining Horse Association reserve world champ.
