FEBRUARY NEWS

We’re off to a fantastic start this year!

It was great to see so many familiar and new faces at our February rally! Despite the heat, it sounds like everyone had a great time. A big thanks again to our coaches – Denelle, Phillipa, Jane and Wendy – for their guidance. We also appreciate those who contributed to morning tea and Laura for providing the soft drinks—it’s the little things that make our rallies even more enjoyable!

Now, while we had a fantastic rally, there was one small but important matter to address... there was a lot of poo left around the grounds. A few of us ended up taking on an unplanned "poo patrol." Cleaning up after your own horse means everyone can leave on time (and without extra steps!). So, let's all pitch in and do our part next time. 😊

Happy riding, see you all in March!

The scoop on helping and poo!

Everyone plays a part in keeping the rally running smoothly and it also means - all hands on deck!

✅ Riders in the second class of the day – responsible for setting up.
✅ Riders in the first class of the day – responsible for packing down.
✅ Poo – it is your responsibility to pick up after your horse, whether it's in the arena, on the grass, or by the float. Please help keep our grounds clean!

At the end of the day, a well-run rally is a team effort.

We also noticed a lot of floats leaving early at the last rally. If you have a work commitment or a need to leave early, please have a chat with Karen, our rally coordinator when you RSVP or when you arrive in the morning. That way, we can plan ahead and make sure everything gets done fairly.
