We are delighted to be able to share with you the draw and notes for the event on the weekend.
Click here for the most recently updated draw.
If you’ve booked a yard with NCHTA, I will be working on that next.
If anyone needs to scratch, please contact Kate on canberraode@gmail.com

 

Here is a mud map of where things are located over the weekend.
The draw will be sent out later today, along with some notes regarding the event.
But in the mean time, here is the timetable to help you plan your weekend.  We are so looking forward to having you all here, we really hope you have a terrific time.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

We have been working hard to get everything ready for this weekend!  The course has been flagged and is looking great.

Ben Smith has made some variations to the course, and we are looking forward to seeing everyone enjoying themselves.
The draw is almost complete and should be ready for publishing tomorrow evening.

See you soon!

 

A reminder to help make this work as well as possible for everyone please don’t build yards along the road.  There isn’t enough room if yards aren’t behind the cyclone fenceline.   This is for safety reasons  also.

 

 

The course is looking great.  The show jumping warm up areas have been moved. The problems are with the parking so please be careful.   The camping area is suitable for 4wd only.  Currently the sun is shining and there’s a breeze.

At this stage it’s all systems go.

Dear riders,
The ground jury is meeting on course at 1.30pm.  We will talk about our options at that point, but at the present time, it is all going ahead.  Rest assured that we realise you need to travel and this uncertainty makes it all difficult. We will send an email, and update our Facebook page with further updates.
Thank you,

Kate

OTT Canberra International Horse Trials media UPDATE, we have WIN TV visiting the park at 11.30 Friday it would be super if a small crowd could gather to cheer and have a few banners and posters welcoming /congratulating Shane for the event.  For more information contact Fiona Gruen by email fmgruen@tpg.com.au  Fiona is hoping for a medal moment too with Shane on the Saturday, time to be advised..

We would like to reassure you all that at the present time, it’s all systems go.  The committee and TDs have several plans in place to deal with the xc course given the rain we’re experiencing.  We are NOT CANCELLING at this stage, and we don’t envisage that we will need to unless we get an incredible deluge.  The dressage arenas hold up very well in the wet.  The XC course is on a hill and drains well.  The showjumping rings cope well too, the warm up can get churned up (as expected) so we will have another area to warm up in and only a limited number of riders will be allowed in at time.
If the situation changes I will email everyone.
Thanks,

Kate

The draw and riders notes are now available to view and download  Please take the time to read the notes as it helps the weekend run smoothly.

Please contact me on canberraode@gmail.com (which is preferred) or phone 0403200341 (remembering that it is school holidays and I have three kids who are probably driving me around the bend by the weekend, so I’d rather you not to have to hear me yelling at them to be quiet while I try to hear what you have to say)

 

Everything is all systems go with wonderful work being done out on course by our dedicated team led by Ben Smith.

The draw is being finalised, but here is the timetable for the weekend.

There’s some rain forecast during the week, but the grounds are looking fantastic and we are confident that everything will run as planned.

There is room for a couple of EvA105 and EvA95 horses if anyone wants a spot.

Please contact Kate on  canberraode@gmail.com if you have any questions.  See you soon!
