How to SEG

For those new members

Welcome

Samford Equestrian Group (SEG) is a welcoming equestrian club based in the heart of the Samford Valley at the Samford Showgrounds, Highvale. We are passionate about bringing together riders, horses and the broader equestrian community to share in the joy of riding, learning and competition.

Our club hosts a full calendar of training clinics, education sessions, members days and official competitions throughout the year that attract a diverse range of riders — from beginners and recreational riders through to experienced competitors. Whether you’re riding dressage, jumping, working equitation or western disciplines, SEG offers opportunities for all ages, abilities and levels.

SEG is affiliated with key equestrian organisations including Dressage QLD, Jumping QLD, ANWE QLD and the Western Dressage Association, which allows us to deliver quality events, support our members and offer pathways into broader competition.
