24.01.2022 Rally day this Sunday and they will be hiring the sand arenas for dressage training. Please be aware that the arenas will not be available for public use.

24.01.2022 The ESA has confirmed that: when a bushfire is at an ADVICE level horse owners will be allowed through a roadblock to access their horses At WATCH AND ACT level owners will be allowed access to retrieve their horses with caution... when a fire is at EMERGENCY level warning horse owners will not be allowed through road blocks as at this point the fire may pose a threat to lives. There will be no need for horse owner's proof of identification at the road blocks. Make sure that if your bush fire plan is to remove your horse that you give yourself and your horse plenty of time to do this calmly. The latest you should be moving your horse is at Watch and Act on a Severe bushfire day. Queanbeyan Showground will not be available as an evacuation centre on the weekend of 1-2 February but there is plenty of room at EPIC. Christine Lawrence President ACT Equestrian Association

03.01.2022 After 2 years of trying the 50 year old stand of Pine Trees on the western side of the Yarralumla Woolshed will be pruned by the government tree people this Saturday 11 July . They will be taking out 5 dead trees and pruning others to ensure they remain a safe part of the cross country course. The cross country course will be closed during this operation. There will be loud machinery and a cherry picker in residence.... They will probably not finish the job this Saturday and we will advise the next closure accordingly. This activity will not impact the cross country clinic happening this weekend
