21.01.2022 UHRA NEWS 7/20 20 November 2020 UHRA ... As Trainer/Driver numbers remain around 1000 (Stablehands numbers have increased steadily due to tighter Licensing protocols) we are unfortunately seeing a decline in the number of Regional Trainer and Driver (and Participant) Associations. The UHRA is officially accredited to represent Trainers and Drivers State wide (and we have included Stablehands) but is also open to ALL Industry Participants. This of course is not easy when trying to represent everyone’s views however we have always worked on a clear majority. We have established Regional contacts and have successfully increased Memberships to include the leading Trainers and Drivers in all Regions. Our AGM is scheduled for January 2021 and we will be asking again for Participants from Regions to stand for Committee positions. This is YOUR accredited Association and all Inquiries are In Confidence HRNSW Rehoming Company As advised in BLOG 3, HRNSW has established a separate Rehoming Company. UHRA are a Member (and an active Consultant) of the Company however we are still looking for a suitable full time Board Member. Please consider this worthy cause and advise the Secretary if you are interested. Volunteers In asking for Volunteers for Committees and Boards it is regrettable that in ‘ the current climate’ it can be perceived as a thankless task and to request someone to step into the ring is a big ask. Volunteers should not be taken for granted but should be acknowledged with due respect. Give them (and us) strength !!

20.01.2022 Horsemanship... What people see vs what they don't see. It's so easy to look at others' social media posts, or see them winning at a show and think 'they are so... perfect...' In reality what we are seeing is their highlight reel. The tip of the iceberg. As horsemen and women we all have challenges to face, no matter how successful we become. But don't we become much better people for it? See more

12.01.2022 Did you know that you can send your old helmets away to be donated to poorer countries? This is so much better than it ending up in landfill. If they have had a knock, but still look okay (not cracked, check the inside), then it is better than wearing no helmet. Of course they will also accept new helmets if you’d like to send a new one. The helmets sent to Ruth end up going to Mongolia. If you have a helmet to donate, please post directly to Ruth at the address below:... Ruth Benney 201 Townsend Road Moolap VIC 3224 Australia
