DC REPORT

Hi Members,Despite very tough conditions, including a bush fire a little too close for comfort, our Showjumping riders performed incredibly well at the State Championships. Rosie and Eloise were part of the NMZ C Grade team who won the State Title and Rose Stephen won the A grade competition with Edward coming in 2nd! and well done to our D Grade riders Abi, Alice & Kelsey who did very well at their first state competition.

Thank you to those riders who have stepped up to compete at the Yeringberg Horse Trials next weekend. Rosie, An-nalise, Ciara, Maddy, Miranda, Alice Darby, Alice , Abbey & Stephanie will represent our club at this event and vie to take home a winning Shield.

As this event is run by our Zone, we have a significant number of duties to undertake so any offers of assistance would be most appreciated. This duty can be ticked off as a working bee, so if you are behind on your duties, or would like to get ahead, please contact Gen Brocksopp.

Don't forget that our AGM is also on this Sunday, immediately after the rally on Sunday at 3.00pm.

Happy Riding , Sinead
