| 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!!! |
