Members should contact their State Registrar to organise any name changes. Any member who is found to have a horse under an incorrect name after this date may face disciplinary action.

How to use this site
FORMS
If you wish to print up one of our forms or ride flyers, just click on the forms page or ride flyers and then click on whichever form you wish to print, this will appear as a pdf file and you can then click print. I am endeavouring to put maps on the website for each ride. Don't forget you can make these bigger by clicking on the % sign above the map. They are in pdf so you can print them out.
PHOTO GALLERY AND PHOTO ORDERS
If you wish to look at photos in the photo gallery, click on the photo gallery page and then click on one of the albums, all the photos will appear and if you wish to see one enlarged just click on the photo itself. You will see a number and title under the enlarged photo and if you are interested in obtaining your photo on a disc for a small cost to cover expenses please contact Shirley (see below) and quote the album (ride name) and the number and title of the photo. If you look at the photos in full page they may not look very sharp as they are only low resolution on the website, photos on a disc will be high resolution so they can be reproduced as a photograph.
MEMBERS PAGE, ETC.
If you would like anything to be added to this website there is a Members page and text and photos can be added. If you send photos it would be a great help if you could try and ensure that they are less than 250kb.
