Sanesa (South African National Equestrian Schools Association) is the schools riding organisation in the country. It runs competitions that enable school kids to compete in riding in different disciplines. Kids first represent their schools, and, if they qualify, go on to represent their region/city, and ultimately their province.

Sanesa is affiliated to SAEF and FEI.

Riding is one of the most challenging school sports.
* It's expensive - Sanesa offers limited financial support covering entry fees to qualifying riders.
* It requires unholy amounts of time, from kids and from parents and organisers.
* It's not one sport, but several - #ShowJumping, #Dressage, #Equitation, #Showing, #WesternMountedGames, #MountedArchery, and many others.

Schools aren't really equipped to run equestrian events themselves, so Sanesa functions as a delegated system. The management of events and their results must be trusted by the schools, so that the schools can award colours to their students when Sanesa says they've done well.

Sanesa divides its job into regional (city-size) committees that run qualifier shows for the schools in the region. These qualifiers cover a number of the bigger horse sports, like show jumping, dressage, showing, and so on. If a child does sufficiently well, they are awarded a place in the regional team to compete in the annual provincial finals, held in July. Those riders can then compete for places in the provincial team to compete in the national finals, held in September.

A few of the smaller horse sports, like mounted archery, eventing and vaulting, are organised at provincial level from the start, not by the regions, as there would not be enough competitors at the local level.

Sanesa has unexpectedly grand scope and sophistication. It's all run by unpaid part-timers, most of whom are or were parents of horse-obsessed schoolkids.

This is one of those marvels that nobody really knows about. I'm sure every country is full of organisations like this, run by a few committed people, that do something so unexpectedly complex, really effectively, on behalf of passionate kids. I'm very fortunate and grateful to be involved with Tshwane Sanesa!
