Equine Centre, Charles Sturt University

The Charles Sturt University Equine Centre is an outstanding facility for horse-loving students and members of the regional community. Located adjacent to the Veterinary Clinical Centre on Agriculture Avenue, it is just a short walk from the main campus of CSU at Wagga Wagga. The Centre is one of the excellent facilities of Charles Sturt University and provides facilities for teaching its courses in Equine Science, Veterinary Science, Animal Science and Veterinary Technology. CSU students are able to agist their horses at the Centre at affordable rates and make full use of the Centre, creating a vibrant and interesting community of like-minded young equestrians.

In conjunction with the Wagga Wagga City Council and Riverina Equestrian Association there have been some major upgrades to the facilities. The first stage has recently been opened and includes:

- A 3000 square metre indoor arena
- 20 stables
- 70x90m all weather rubber ingrained sand arena
- 60x20m permanent dressage arena (also rubber ingrained).
- A 60x30m enclosed warm up arena has also been installed adjacent to the indoor arena
- An amenities block including showers, toilets, canteen and office near the stables that allows people camping at the facilities to easily access the bathroom facilities.
- All arenas have irrigation facilities.
