24.01.2022 Sorry for the late notice team - rally tomorrow, 4:00pm tack-up, 4:15pm gear check. We will start in the ring, and then head cross country to finish the day, so paddock horses will need to be locked up.
24.01.2022 Merry Christmas all!

22.01.2022 Rally Notice! Could the paddock horses please be locked up by 1.30pm?
21.01.2022 Hi Pony Clubbers If you nominated for (or wanted to book lessons for) the Evan Parker jump clinic this weekend - and HAVEN’T received a message/email from Adrienne tonight - please get in touch ASAP (as scheduling is turning her slightly grey and crazy). Thanks guys!
21.01.2022 Cross country sessions Sunday! Hey team, so far I have the following people booked for the following times: 8am: Micaela and Abby 10am: Dayna, Bernadette, Barb and Kate 2pm: Simone, Lynda, Trin ... If I have talked to you about a lesson, and not added you to the list - my apologies, please let me know! A reminder that jump vests are advisable (mandatory for competition - so a good idea to train in them). Please try to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your lesson time - we will need to complete some paperwork before saddling up. Note: it is proper cross country at the moment - jumps are cleared but tracks are not, so expect some long grass, wallabies, and a bit of mud! See more
20.01.2022 The long-awaited programme for our 2020 Regional Training Camp is here! Please contact your Club Secretary for the official nomination form (I have included ima...ges of the relevant forms here for reference). Club Secretaries - if you haven't received an email - please let me know! A sign in process will be implemented (as per COVID-19 plans) for the duration of the event - stay tuned for how this will look. A reminder that if you are sick, or displaying any of the COVID symptoms - please stay home! Remember to maintain social distancing and good hand-washing/personal hygiene practices. Non-Hendra vaccinated horses will be required to wear a purple ribbon as an identifying mark, at all times on the grounds. This can be plaited into mane/forelock, and/or attached to halter/bridle. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries or concerns!

12.01.2022 On a happier note - well done and THANK YOU to the wonderful person who replaced the wash bay hose - the new hose is great!

09.01.2022 It’s been a while since we’ve been able to get out on the cross country course at Herbert River! Stay tuned for an update after our impromptu working bee today!
09.01.2022 Attention members: Please DO NOT ALTER JUMPING EQUIPMENT that has been set up in the arena, unless you are a current, qualified instructor. There are safety considerations to be aware of, especially when building spreads/oxers and combinations. Thank you.
08.01.2022 Could Your Club be the PCA Club of the Year? Nominations are now open for the annual PCA awards, and Club of the Year is a highly sought after category. Each ye...ar there are nominations of clubs that are being innovative, inclusive, and involved in their community.

The online entry form and criteria are on the website, and in coming weeks we will be featuring here, some past winners and why they were successful. HINT: The entry questions will guide you how to answer, but remember to be specific, not vague. NO - 'Rider X always helps younger riders.' YES - 'Rider X saw a young member struggling at a competition and offered her some help with . . .' NO - 'Our club raised money for the bushfire victims.'

08.01.2022 Rally Thursday 5 Nov @ 4:00pm. Please RSVP. Most likely plan will be some flatwork, some jumping, and finishing on the cross country course (as there were a few requests we didn’t get to complete last week).
08.01.2022 Edit: Change of plans, sorry guys - it’s just too windy for yelling at riders cross country. Will keep everyone in the loop for the next cross country plans. Is anyone interested in a cross country session this afternoon, around 3pm? Comment here!
08.01.2022 A big thank you to a few of our members for their efforts this weekend! Savannah and Adele for helping to move the equipment in the ring, so it could be slashed. Mark and Levi for sharing the slashing duties, preparing our grounds for upcoming rallies and training events Matteo for making our Picture Frame cross country jump safe... Many hands make light work - we love and appreciate our volunteers!
07.01.2022 It’s that time again folks. We have a few considerations: - agisters, please keep an eye on river heights - the paddock will go under water in the event of a flood, and paddock horses will need an alternative place to live for a short time if this happens. - the remaining gear in the ring (and rails in the dressage arena) needs to be packed away - rails need to go into the heavy trailer under the old shed, wings and standards need to go onto one of the concrete verandahs (...middle or top shed), white jump blocks and cups need to be collected and put up on the top shed verandah If you have some time free, if you would be able to either move some/all the gear to the locations listed above, or stack near either gate to the main ring, or the gate to the sand dressage arena (to be collected onto the back of the Ute to be moved), that would be most appreciated! *Adrienne will have a Ute there Sunday 3/01 around 3pm to move gear if anyone is keen to come along then.
