WERI - Merredin Ride
Last weekend Tash and Joe (Sundale Bellagio) and Jan head east to the Van Udens farm for the WERI Merredin Ride.
With the 160km ride starting at midnight, poor Joe had a case of FOMO when his training buddies headed out without him.π«£
Saddling up in the rain, it was a wet and muddy couple of hours on leg 1, before the sun came out on leg 2. After 6hrs 30mins of riding Tash & Joe crossed the finish line to finish 1st HW and were awarded Best Conditioned HW.
At presentations we were surprised to learn Joe had received the highest Best Conditioned score in the 80km ride which was sponsored by M Equestrian, on behalf of Mel we paid this forward to the next highest scoring π.
Big shout out of thanks to the sponsors of our place awards Living Horse Tails β’ Jewellery by Monika and Poseidon Equine and Equident who sponsored of our Best Conditioned Rug.
This was another great ride put on by the Wheatbelt Endurance Riders Inc. and the Van Uden family and we canβt forget their neighbour who graciously opened up their properties for us to ride on π
Thank you to our personal sponsors TuffRock Australia and M Equestrian for keeping Joe in top order for his competitions.
