IQ Registration Process

The EQ office is receiving many queries relating to the IQ registration process.

The process for registering a horse/rider combination for interschool has changed slightly this year. You will no longer need to send in an IQ Horse Registration form each year. Instead, you will need to EA Base Register your horse online once only which is now available free of charge for IQ competitors.

PLEASE NOTE: If your horse is already EA Life Registered, you do not need to re-register your horse. If you are unsure please contact the EQ office on 3891 6611 or [email protected]

Each year when you renew your membership, please tick the Interschool Card box. Once your horse is EA Base or Life Registered and your membership has been renewed, please contact Christine on 3891 6611 or [email protected] with the rider and horse names and we will reactivate your IQ number or allocate a new IQ number for new combinations. You will still be allocated an IQ number for the horse & rider combination, so if there is more than one rider competing a horse please contact Christine on 3891 6611 or [email protected] and an IQ number will be allocated for each new combination.

It is important to note that EA Base Registration does not permit your horse to compete in official classes or Interschool State or National Championships. If you wish to compete in official or ‘above the line’ classes and State or National Championships your horse is required to have EA Life Registration, and you will need to upgrade your horses registration category.

EA Base Registration is free online only. If you wish to send in paper forms to register your horse, current registration prices apply.

PLEASE NOTE: All horses must be microchipped in order to be EA registered (Base and Life Registration)

Step by step process:

1. Base register your horse online (unless already EA registered)
2. Renew your membership for 2016, tick the Interschool Card box and then contact the EQ office to reactivate your IQ number or be issued a new IQ number
3. An IQ number will be allocated to you (if you already have one this will remain the same)
4. A list of all current IQ horse & rider combinations can be found on the EQ website in the interschool section
5. If your combination is not listed, or you have a new combination, contact the EQ office to be issued an IQ number
6. You can print your own IQ numbers using the template available, or you are able to request one from the EQ office. (You are also able to use bridle number holders, saddle cloth number holders etc if preferred)
7. Ensure your school is registered for interschool
8. You are ready to start competing in interschool events!
