Membership Benefits

We recognise that everyone joins our sport for a different reason and that not everyone intends to compete at the highest level of the sport.

Whether you’re a volunteer, official, owner, coach or you just like to compete at the lower levels of the sport with your horse and friends, we want to ensure there are appropriate categories for everyone.

Equestrian SA offers a number of different membership categories depending on your competitive level and requirements. Our membership is financial year.

Don't forget our Summer Price Drop of 30% off Membership Fees for the remainder of 24/25 from 6th Jan until 30th June 2025! Prices listed below are BEFORE the discount!
