Feedback from schools who took the behind the scenes tours previously:

"We took our new team- five students, two staff and our equestrian parents to the Brisbane CDI school tour. The students had the most inspirational day, meeting many of their heroes. The children were provided with informative sessions by a range of experts, including event organisers, stewards, vets and judges. Students were also very excited to receive a sample bag,  including a voucher, which they had loads of fun spending at the fabulous CDI trade village."

"A memorable quote from our lovely judge's talk is one I now use often- 'Remember, every time you enter on that centre line just how lucky you are to be there'- inspirational indeed!"

"It was a fabulous day... So well run with lots of highlights for the girls.  They got to meet some fantastic riders.  I would highly recommend the day and we will definitely be requesting to attend again this year as we have some new riders on our team and I'm sure they would love it as well.  A Fun and exciting day for the team!!"
