Wanted to remind everyone about a couple of things:
- We are having a working bee at Equestrian Park this weekend to prepare for our upcoming event. We really need some more helpers! Please email me at canberraht@gmail.com if you are available Saturday, Sunday OR Monday! We appreciate your help whether it is for 1 hour, 5 hours or 3 days! Snacks will be provided! We particularly encourage those of you entered in the John Twomey Clinic this weekend to get involved.
- We are still looking for jump judges, pencillors, pole pickers, etc for our event on the 2nd and 3rd of November. Please send me a quick email if you or a friend is available to help out (canberraht@gmail.com). This is a great way to give back to the sport that we love.
- We are also still seeking sponsors for the upcoming event. If you or a company that you know is interested in sponsorship, please send me an email (canberraht@gmail.com).Â
- One of our fantastic sponsors, Jenny from Pine Ridge Horse Agistment, is hosting a dressage clinic with Uwe Spenlen from Germany. Uwe coaches Sonya Johnson, the WA eventer who competes successfully at international level.  He is a wonderful, easy to follow coach for horses of all levels, from babies through Grand Prix. There are only a few spots left to fill on each of the 3 days. Tues 29 – Thursday 31 and the timing would be perfect for any competitor entering the Canberra CNC event the following weekend. Contact Jenny Campbell for more information (0408 786 004; jenny@pineridge.com.au).  In Jenny’s words: “Wouldn’t it be terrific if your dressage score was really super due to a clinic with Uwe!”
- ACTDA also have a dressage fun day organised on Sunday 20th October with the opportunity to re-ride your test for extra feedback. There is also an arena for practicing any level dressage test. The day will be very relaxed – plaiting / jackets are optional. Entries open on Global Entries Online www.globalentriesonline.com.au.Â
- Good luck to those riders competing at Wallaby Hill and Lynton Horse trials!
Happy Riding!
