24.01.2022 Testing out the new covered yards today. They feel really safe and roomy. Huge thankyou to everyone who has beem involved with this project, especially the AWEA Committee many of whom worked in the 35c+ heat to erect the yards over the past 2 days. Portable Horse Stables owner Craig Vincent came down from Tamworth to help out. Craig provided invaluable guidance and labour to help us get the yards up. Great after sales service! Looking forward to seeing this new facility being used at an event in 2021.

22.01.2022 Collegiate Saddle Recall "For the safety of customers and wider Collegiate Saddles community, and due to a fault, Collegiate are recalling a number of saddle mo...dels under the Collegiate brand. You can check the affected models www.collegiatesaddlery.com.au/collegiate-saddle-recall. > What has happened As you may be aware, in 2018 we discovered a fault in some of our Collegiate brand saddles. The issue was with the type of screws used to affix the girth strap to the tree. As this was a potential risk to the safety of our customers, we recalled all the saddles with that particular screw type and replaced them with longer appropriate screws. We have also subsequently redesigned the fixings and moved to a riveted fastening to ensure it is secure. However, two of the original design saddles with the screw fittings were recently returned by customers and we unfortunately discovered that the repair screws had not been fitted properly. To understand if the issue was a one-off or more extensive, we immediately inspected more than 400 saddles from several of our stores and our warehouse. Of the more than 400 saddles we inspected, we found only one was non-compliant with a screw fixing that was not fitted properly. Although we have only found three non-compliant saddles, the safety of our customers is our number priority and as a result, we are recalling the 17 Collegiate saddle models that are potentially affected. We have advised the ACCC of the issue and registered the recall, and we expect it to publish the details on its website in the coming days. > What we are asking customers with potentially affected saddles to do: If you have or know anyone who has a Collegiate saddle, follow the below steps: Check www.collegiatesaddlery.com.au/collegiate-saddle-recall to see if you have one of the potentially non-compliant Collegiate saddle models. If you have one of the potentially non-compliant saddle models do not use the saddle. If you do not have one of the potentially non-compliant saddle models then you do not need to take any action. If you are unsure if you have a non-compliant model please contact your local Horseland store directly. Bring your potentially non-compliant saddle to your local Horseland store for inspection. To ensure we can quickly inspect and assess your saddle, please book an inspection time through our call centre on 1300 319 000 or by contacting your local Horseland store. Your saddle will be inspected and assessed for compliance. If it is assessed compliant, you are able to take your saddle and continue using it If it is assessed as non-compliant, you will be offered a new replacement saddle of the same model or a refund. As a thank you for your cooperation, we are offering all customers who bring their potentially non-compliant Collegiate saddles included in the recall models in for inspection, a $100 Horseland voucher. Please ensure you collect your voucher when you visit your local Horseland store. You can find further information on the recall, including a set of questions and answers, on our website at www.collegiatesaddlery.com.au/collegiate-saddle-recall. We will also be sharing information about the recall on our social media channels and would appreciate it if you are able to share the posts on your channels. We have also established a dedicated customer service line to answer any customer queries. Please call 1300 319 000 or email [email protected] if you have any further questions. Regards, Adam Bucknell, CEO Collegiate Saddles"

02.01.2022 Our thoughts go out to all those impacted by the fires currently raging around Perth. For many of us it brings back memories of the ‘Black Summer’ of 2020. AWEC played a crucial role by becoming an evacuation centre, providing a safe haven for people and their animals.

02.01.2022 Our new Covered Yards are nearing completion. Very excited to see them in action soon, COVID restrictions permitting. Thanks to all of the contractors, staff at Albury City, AWEA members and committee , AWEC supporters and our wonderful volunteers that have worked together to make this project happen.

02.01.2022 Albury Wodonga Equestrian Centre can now boast about having 52 new undercover stables. Thanks to the awesome team here today and yesterday they have all been unloaded from the container and built in our fabulous shed.

01.01.2022 Showjumping looks fabulous all ready for the 3 star to start tomorrow morning.

01.01.2022 A STATEMENT FROM THE AWEA COMMITTEE You may have noticed recent posts on social media as well as an article in the Border Mail on the 3rd of February 2021 regarding horses agisted by a member at AWEC. Given the amount of accusations being directed at AWEC and the committee we feel that members will benefit from knowing the actions that have been taken regarding these two horses. The Committee would like to update you with the following points: The horses were moved to AWEC ...approximately 6 weeks ago. After their arrival it was noted by AWEC staff that the horses were in a poor condition. AWEC contacted the owner regarding their condition and was advised that veterinary advice had been sought prior to the horses moving to AWEC. AWEC and the owner have been in regular communication regarding the management of these horses. In the last 10 days it became evident that the smaller sized paddocks at AWEC were not suitable for the management of these horses and discussions commenced with the owner regarding the need to find a more suitable paddock to continue their rehabilitation. The RSPCA were notified by AWEC and the local inspector has attended the centre. The owner had arranged for the horses to receive veterinary care, prior to deciding to rehome them into a private rehabilitation facility. Actions were being taken by AWEC to manage this situation well prior to the social media comments that were posted this week. These posts/comments are potentially a result of a lack of understanding regarding the treatment being provided to these horses. We would also like to remind everyone that the committee are all volunteers, who give up hundreds of hours of their personal time each year to help create a better future for our equestrian centre. Over the past couple of days, the committee has been subject to abuse and threats which are undeserved and inappropriate. The committee and staff are all passionate horse people who care deeply about the welfare of these animals. AWEA Committee
