| 2007 Welcome!!! |
| |
|
Firstly I would like to say that the feedback from our
first rally a few weeks ago has been |
|
very positive and we would like to formally welcome all
our new members and welcome |
|
back all our previous members!! |
|
|
|
This weekend is the afternoon rally at the Brigadoon
cross country course starting |
| mounted at 1pm and there a few
"house-keeping" issues that must be addressed. |
| Uniform is long sleeved polos for those
who have them, or long sleeved blue shirts. |
| I will have some uniforms with me on
the day. Beige jodhpurs & neat appearance for |
|
horse and rider with club saddle blankets, helmet
covers if possible as many other clubs |
|
may be on the grounds. Its so much easier for us
to identify you in our very flash uniforms!! |
| |
| The main thing I'd like everyone to
remember is that if your fees have not been paid (due to |
| insurance restrictions) you won't be
allowed to ride this weekend. Also, as yet it is not |
| compulsory to wear body protectors in
pony club cross country, but it is for all open classes |
| and it will be very soon in Pony Club, so
we highly recommend all riders having body |
| protectors. |
| |
| We intend to meet at the grounds which
are around the very back of the State Equestrian |
| Centre (just keep following the road
behind the stables) before 1pm so we can have a mounted |
| start for 1pm. We will do gear
checking and run through some eventing rules, do some warm |
| up flatwork, then proceed to the course,
which will be exclusively for us from 3pm until 5pm. |
| There will be 2 or possibly 3 groups,
jumping at different levels. Any queries please do not |
| hesitate to contact Denise, M'liss or
Nell. |
| |
| The rally program has March 18th for
cross country at Brookleigh, however, as this |
| opportunity at Brigadoon arose prior to
the Tetrathlon we have taken it and the March 18th |
| rally will be at the club grounds in
Osborne Park, with Brookleigh possibly being held later in |
| the year - dates permitting! |
| |
| Just a note for your horses - remember
cross country can be quite gruelling and in fairness |
| to your mount please have them as fit as
possible for the day. |
| Happy Riding!!! |
