If you have applied but not yet received a PIC, worry not! Just put "applied" in that box and we will know that you will update it in due course.

Tiny reminder - our brand spanking new toilets are not yet operational so probably best to use the facilities at home.

See ya Sunday!!!

Once you're all signed up you can enter this weekend's club day! Just in case you haven't already got the memo, our first club day is being held this Sunday 17th, gates open 8:30, riding at 9am. Activities to include general riding, a spot of casual sporting, some pole exercises and, for the more adventurous, a couple of grid exercises.

Our events are held at our grounds at 62 Bayliss Road, Sharon. No dress-code, apart from sun-smart and safe! Helmets are required (EA tagged, we will be tagging on the day).

Slip us a message or email if you have any problems with the website - she is new so don't be afraid to let me know if something weird happens! Using a laptop/desktop is recommended - while it will work on mobile devices it probably won't look that pretty.

See ya Sunday!!!

Save the date!

First club day on Sunday 17th March

See what you think of the new arena layout, Kate's going to set up some grid exercises, have a run around the barrels and the bends, etc.

We're just putting the finishing touches to our new membership and event entry system, so you can't actually RSVP yet. Will post 2024 memberships open and entry details soon!

A penny for your thoughts?

As some of you know, we've been given a government grant, partly for new arena fencing! 🥳

The committee have been discussing these arena layouts as possible options. To help us in our discussions, and because 100+ heads might be better than just 4, we wanted to know:

1) What would you do?
2) Are there any objections to any of these options?
3) Anything you really like?
4) Wild and also not-so-wild ideas that maybe we haven't thought of?

Please keep in mind:
- we're very conscious of the need for safety of spectators on foot (which may include kiddies), as well as keeping horses away from cars, etc.
- ease of use for both officials, riders and spectators
- some members have green/inexperienced/reactive horses which may react to things like the toilet doors opening, a spectator opening an umbrella, etc.
- the grant obviously has a limit, so we might need to do this in a staged fashion
- likewise, our club is very small at the moment, so we're trying not to overwhelm ourselves with the grandest of plans just yet - we're seeking to make a good start that is open to expansion in the future
- the names of the arenas are flexible - there is no reason one day we can't kick out the show jumps and have a big ol' sporting day in the "show jumping arena". They're just named this way so we all know what we're talking about.

FYI: Proposal #3 does not have a separate warm-up area - instead we would use whichever arena is not actively in use as the warm-up. That way warm-ups are done in an enclosed space.

Anyone free this Saturday? Thought we’d take advantage of the free dump weekend to do a couple of rubbish runs if we can manage to rustle up some helpers! We also need to mark out the new arena fence and put some new stakes in.

Kate is now an EA helmet tagger so she will trade a tag for your labour! Get those helmets ready to go for the year!

Bring hats, closed shoes and sunscreen. If any of you have a box trailer that would be amazing!

This Saturday 10 Feb @ 62 Bayliss Road Sharon from about 8 (the dump opens at 9). See ya all there!

𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐬! 🚽🤩

I know not all of you will have tried our old girls and boys room, but believe me when I say we are getting an *upgrade* in the privy department!!

The new thrones have arrived and are awaiting installation.

We will wait for these gorgeous flushing WCs before setting some dates for club days and events (ain’t nobody got time for a bush wee next to jump 11 🤣).

Will keep you posted, but hoping for a club day around middle of Feb.

We offer a range of competitions, including jumping, dressage, hacking, sporting and more throughout the year. Our club days and events are held at our grounds on Bayliss Road, Sharon, just 15 minutes out of Bundaberg.
