We have lots of poo. Just restocked out the front of our gates. Normally it is $3 a bag but come and help yourself for only $2 this weekend.

Merry Christmas from the amazing FBEC horses and our members! We hope you all have a fantastic Christmas with your family, friends and animals wherever you are in the world. If you are driving past the club this afternoon, we are sure the horses would love a Christmas carrot.

OUR NEW TRACTOR HAS ARRIVED !!

Our shiny, brand new, bright red, 65HP UHI tractor has arrived at the club to replace our well-worn, well-used 16 year old green 55HP John Deere tractor which has been a true workhorse for the club for many years.

A big ‘thank you’ goes to the NT Government for the Minor Community Grant of $15,000 that we received towards the cost of the tractor. The tractor and attachments cost $35,000. That’s a sum we could not possibly have raised without the grant.

A second ‘thank you’ goes to all those who worked really hard to fundraise, or who donated, to help us raise the extra $20,000 needed. We managed to raise almost all the money from our 3 Open Days, 3 Bunnings BBQs, donations to our Australian Sports Foundation online fundraising site, and selling some things from around the club that we no longer needed.

So, well done to all members who helped, and to those generous people in the community who donated. We are very grateful.

The new tractor comes with a 4 in 1 bucket, slasher, fork lift and grass stick and ….. wait for it ….. an AIRCONDITIONED cab. We cannot thank everyone enough for helping us. We look forward to showing it to the public on our next open day.

Fannie Bay Equestrian Club was delighted to take part in ‘A Very Darwin Christmas Pageant’ last Saturday. Dozens of different organisations and schools participated in the long parade with colourful floats and walking / dancing groups, and thousands of people, especially families with young children, lined the streets to enjoy the spectacle.

FBEC’s entry was led by two of our finest horses, Belle and Tex, decked out in Christmas gear and led very capably by Inge, Ronnie and Keziah.

Behind them came a decorated car pulling the club trailer which had been transformed with signs and decorations into a ‘horse chariot’ for a group of our enthusiastic junior members. They had a ball soaking up the Christmas atmosphere and waving to the crowds.

A big ‘thank you’ must go to the NT Government for the $500 Micro Grant the club was given to buy the materials and decorations we needed to create our entry and take part in the parade. It made all the difference.

A very important day to remember those who have given so much for us to be here today. Both human and animals. Thank you from Fannie Bay Equestrian Club members and their horses. We thank you all for service and sacrifices.

The Melbourne Cup ….. none of our horse made it quite that far ….. but a number of our members are lucky enough to own some retired race horses.

Before ending up at FBEC, they raced all over Australia (mostly quite slowly), now they are enjoying the pampered life of an off the track horse, beach swims, trial riding, competitions, pony club and lots of cuddles!

When they raced their names were:
Six Straight
Erika’s Girl
Just a Spat
Dancing Boy
Sunny Sailor
Glow Torch
(Unnamed bay c**t) - never made it to the track!

Now they are known as:
George
Malibu
Spice
Joey
Sailor
Bug
Simba

Check out how cute they are!
