The arborists have done a great job today. Sick trees removed, dead fall picked up and trees lifted to make it easier for everyone to park in the picnic grounds.

The sand arena is available now for everyone to use. Please follow the rules and be respectful. Only use the entry from the main arena, and stay out of the bunted areas.

Congratulations Dressage Club, your sand arena has been completed. The bunting will remain around the arena till the grass comes through and the ground firms up.

A big paper wasp nest is on the outside of the round yard, so please take care till we can get them removed.

I have been busy with the 'round-up', so for the next 48hrs just be careful where you let your horse graze. All the boundary fences, along the drains and the nor'east corner yards have been done. The back block of yards in the Picnic grounds plus round the washbay. Round the clubhouse, sheds, under the seats and the new toilet block also done.

05/02/2025

The rodeo have left the perimeter fence up around the sand arena, it is still available for everyone to use, just go through the gate. Rodeo hope to be able to put some events on for everyone such as arena sorting, later in the year.

Tribute to Regal Reign

If you read yesterday's tribute to Regal Reign and Merv Bennett (Jan 7 2025) - here's the way Nowra, NSW acknowledged the horse they raised money to bring home after the Montreal Olympics.

Photos courtesy of Merv's son John Bennett. If you want to see the memorial, go to Worrigee Road, turn into Bennett Place and take the 'right rein' into Reign Close.

In yesterday's comments about this special thoroughbred, John said:
'The people of Nowra have always been very kind to him. After reaching a fine old age in retirement, Regal Reign was buried at the end of a street named after him. There’s a stone marking his grave that includes his achievements and a quote from Dad “he might not have been the best in the world, but he was the bravest”.
I’ve driven past on 1st August (thoroughbreds' birthday) and noticed flowers left there by locals which is lovely.'

Well done, Nowra.

(Another member of the team, Denis Piggott, said yesterday 'Money was raised to bring Hillstead home also as the (EFA) dumped us as soon as the event was over.' )
