Autumn Newsletter

Hi Everyone,

Well autumn is really here, you can feel the nip in the air and the horses are starting to get their hairy coats.  We still have many nice riding days ahead of us so lets make the most of it while we can.

We have some interesting training days coming up and I have fixed some dates for the next school holidays.

But before I tell you more, I would like to congratulate the riders, who completed the 20km ride at the weekend.  It was a great ride at Burke’s Pass and we all had fun and completed it within the time and more importantly, all the horses passed the vetting!!!
There were many Endurance riders who were delighted to see all you young ones (I don’t mean just the kids) giving it a go and also seeing those round ponies/horses having fun!

I hope this will be the first of many and I know some people will go further next time.

Upcoming events

Drill Riding or Formation Riding is a sort of dressage as a group.  You ride in pairs, threes or even in a group of 4 or 6 and do a sequence together.  It is great fun and learning experience.
From 10-3pm, we will practise different formations and movements and then put them together to create a sequence.  We might even put it to music!!!
You will go home with a video to show to all your friends!!
$60 per person. Minimum of 4 people and a maximum of 10.

The morning will be grid work which is ideal for both novice riders and novice horses and in the afternoon, we will set up a course of jumps.

The Holiday Training Days will be run as usual from 10 am to 3pm.  The kids need to bring their lunch and appropriate clothing for the weather (what ever that might be!!).
