If anyone going to the Manilla Quilty would like a strapper/driver/helper I would love to come along and get some Quilty experience. You can contact me at jenny @ nymond .com.au
Hi all! Hope everyone has had a great Christmas and new years! All ponies slowly coming int work after their holiday. As many of you would be aware we are very short on rides this year! Especially leading up to the Quilty. Mudgee and myself are looking to put on a budget ride or two prior to the Quilty.
Whilst recently in QLD I mentioned this, and there has been some interest in having a 2 day 80km. My seister and I recently rode in Fernvale; the first ride we did in Nov. was an 80km held on Friday and an 80km on Saturday- both being twilight rides. This weekend we also headed over there and competed again this time they made it an 80km on Friday (twilight) and an 80km on Sunday morning.
I have been thinking this may be a good idea for those wanting to qualify horses but not enough rides, or getting more than one horse ready for the Quilty.
However this is a lot of work and will only be possible if we have the numbers. At this point it is just an idea, nothing has been set into motion. I am hoping for some feedback from both SA and interstate riders. If there is enough interest we will try and organize a 2x 80km in a weekend. Also this will be held from the mount Crawford area, not necessarily Starkeys but again its still in the process of being worked out.
If you could please leave suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi All,
Just letting you know the first Vic ride of the year will be Rainbow Creek at Tooongabbie presented by G.E.R.Z.
The third saturday in Feb, it is an easy flat ride with a nice river / Creek crossing in it
All welcome, even though it is a long way for you S.A. guys, we would make you welcome
kind regards and Merry Christmas to all.
