Working Equitation is an exciting sport inspired by the fieldwork of riders from various countries, welcoming all breeds and styles of tack. It focuses on building a working relationship between horse and rider through seven levels and four trials: Dressage, Ease of Handling (judged obstacles), Speed (obstacles at speed), and Cattle. Trainer Jill Barron and her stunning buckskin Lusitano gelding, Cossaco, exemplify the partnership that the discipline aims to achieve.
A true ambassador of his breed, Cossaco showcases the incredible partnership Lusitanos can form with their riders as he performs and participates in clinics with Jill. One of the highlights of their Working Equitation journey has been performing for thousands at the National Western Stock Show. In addition to exhibitions and teaching, Cossaco and Jill are currently competing at the Masters Level in Working Equitation. In 2022, they became Canada’s first Masters Working Equitation Champions!
Even after years together, building a solid and trusting relationship remains at the core of everything they do. Jill shares, “Cossaco will be the greatest teacher of my riding career... if you believe in fate, we were meant to be dance partners.”
