President’ s report or should we say Vice Presidents report.!

As Vice President, I am stepping in whilst our fearless leader is taking a well earned break in far north Queensland - even if he is chief stewarding at ride while he is away. A fantastic adventure that should produce some great campfire yarns.

Our State Championships have been run and won at Wingello and a huge congratulations must go to the committee for a well run ride. Nice tracks, excellent marking and a fantastic atmosphere. Congratulations as well to our winners and everyone who completed.

NSW can be very proud of Talea Hasko-Stewart and Blake's Heaven Bombora for their selection to represent Australia at the World Endurance Championships later this year- it is a great achievement and we wish her the very best of luck.

The State Management Committee is working hard on promotions and encouraging new members into our sport. We are implementing a number of strategies including follow up letters to all day members informing them of upcoming dates and links to our website and Facebook pages.

Our website is getting a bit of a makeover and we are constantly getting more 'likes' on our Facebook. Please check us out on Facebook and feel free to write a 'post'.

Unfortunately a few rides have had to cancel this year and many are rescheduling for later in the year which should make for some tight finishes in the pointscores.

Good luck for all the up coming rides and take care.

Cheers

Marlee

NSW ERA COMMITTEE MEETINGS Meetings are held upstairs at the Arabian Horse Society Building,

President’s Report


National Parks trails to be opened to horses – progress report A discussion paper entitled "Draft Strategic Directions for Horse Riding in NSW National Parks and Reserves" was released by Minister for the Environment Robyn Parker in late April. This document is of critical importance as it will guide NPWS in the provision of improved horse riding opportunities in the reserve system.

Basically the document outlines the agreement we have reached with NPWS. There are some problems with the specific details, including the timing, format and limited scope of the wilderness pilot program; the parks and boundaries covered under the three focus areas; and the structure of the regional working groups. These issues will be raised at our next meeting with Head Office as well as in our written submission.

Stakeholder groups including NSWERA have been invited to comment, with the closing date for submissions on 30th June 2012. I will be writing a combined submission with the Australian Horse Alliance (AHA), Australian Trail Horse Riders Association (ATHRA) and Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group (SMBUGS) which will ensure that all of these groups present a united front and a consistent approach to the document.

If you are interested you can download the draft by going to

http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/policies/drafthrsridstrat.htm

and clicking on the "Download now" button. Draft Plans of Management All National Parks & Wildlife Service Plans of Management, both draft and finalised, can be viewed at the NPWS website at http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/parkmanagement/ParkAndFireManagementPlansByCategory.htm

Plans of management define if and where you are allowed to ride in a park.

You can make submissions by post, email or directly from the website. A submission is simply your comments on the plan of management, whether agreeing or disagreeing with what is being proposed.

Even though we are winning back our trails, it's still important to provide feedback on Plans of Management that affect your riding areas. If we don't continue speaking up, our extreme green opponents could regain the upper hand. Wondoba State Conservation Area – south-west of Gunnedah. Horse riding permitted on roads and management trails.

Dowe National Park – south-west of Manilla. Horse riding not mentioned therefore may be permitted with specific consent from the Regional Manager.

Somerton National Park - east of Gunnedah. Horse riding not mentioned therefore may be permitted with specific consent from the Regional Manager.

Trinkey State Conservation Area – south-west of Gunnedah. Horse riding allowed on park roads (i.e. open to public vehicle access) but not on management trails.

Submissions for all the above POMs close 25 June 2012. Fiona Meller

Track Preservation Report


Swabbing - Please be aware that swabbing has been conducted at the NSW State Championships at Wingello, and will continue to be conducted at a number of events this year. If you are swabbed, please keep your paperwork as it has the sample number (N – Urine sample, B – Blood sample) that is displayed on the Equestrian Australia website under EA Rules and Regs/Negative (Clear) Sample Analysis Notifications. This notification may take 6-8 weeks. TPR School – There will be a TPR school held at Kambah Pony Club, ACT, on the 23rd September this year. The exact format is being formalized at the moment – we hope to have part of the day to talk about getting started in Endurance Riding (gear, training and feeding) combined with a sausage sizzle. Candidates sitting the TPR course can claim petrol expenses, courtesy of the NSW Department of Sport and Recreation. TPR membership – All TPRs must be a current member of an AERA division. The membership category can be either as a Full Riding Member or an Associate Member. This is required for insurance compliance. If you do not have membership please fill in and sign a membership form and indemnity form on the day for Associate Membership and forward it to NSW secretariat for processing. No fee is required for working TPRs. If you are a current Associate Member, you are entitled to free Associate Membership as a working TPR and may apply for a refund if a membership fee has been paid. Once you have TPR’d for 20 days, you will receive your own stethoscope, thermometer, stopwatch and personalized Cherished TPR vest. Please remember that you need to TPR at 1 ride per year to maintain your accreditation. The published TPR’s are those TPR’s that have remained active, i.e. maintained their accreditation, so please ensure the Chief Steward has correctly noted your name and day(s) attended. Horse names: Riders are reminded to use their horses’ AERA registered name and logbook when entering any ride – 80k, 40k, 20k or 10k. Rule H 4.3 Child Riders: While it is important that children participate and understand the procedures undertaken at a ride, it is recommended as an extra safety measure that riders under 10 keep their hard hat on when running out or leading their horse. Horse Yards: Riders are reminded to read Duty of Care with regard to Horse Containment at rides. There have been 2 incidences this year that have resulted in injuries serious enough to withdraw from the ride, with one of those horses receiving injuries serious enough to be out for quite a few months. So please, think about how and where you contain your horse and try to have someone supervise your horse at all times. Logbooks and Pink Cards Members and Ride Committees please remember that Rule H.4, 4.3 states that if a horse is issued with a logbook, the logbook must be used when the horses is entered at an affiliated endurance. The use of pink cards for the horse is not permitted.

THIRTY YEARS OF “BROOKVALE” BUCKLES This year marks the 30th anniversary of the beginning of the National Capital (“Brookvale”) Endurance Ride. From 1982 to 2011, over 20 riders have won five or more “Brookvale” buckles and three of them (Gillian Petersohn, Shelly Ison and Searle Johnston) have more than ten.

Four horses have won five or more buckles with the one rider. They are: Searle Johnston’s Shinda, Gillian Petersohn’s Karakatana Aluf, Colleen Clancy’s Wiz the Fizz and Rochelle Knihinicki’s Tuldar Ronnie. The only other horse I could find that has won five or more buckles with different riders is Searle Johnston’s Too Soon (Narraburrah Magnifique): he completed the ride three times with Kerren Hosking and three times with Searle.

In Searle’s five completions on Shinda, they were first heavyweight three times and in their last “Brookvale” ride together, were second middleweight and best conditioned open horse. Searle was equal first middleweight (and joint winner of the ride) twice on Too Soon and achieved best conditioned horse awards with both Too Soon and Haraka. Gillian was nearly always in the lightweight placings: she was first lightweight five times (four of them on Karakatana Aluf) and equal first lightweight once. In his seven completions, Karakatana Aluf was best conditioned catchweight horse at least four times. Shelly has so far won the lightweight division three times and been among the placings in most of her other rides, including in 2011 when she was second lightweight and Aloha Fabian the best conditioned lightweight horse. This was Shelly’s third best conditioned horse award in the National Capital Ride, the others being with Miss Ellie.

All of Talea Hasko-Stewart’s five completions and four of Rochelle Knihinicki’s were achieved as juniors. Jenny Oliver’s six completions included three wins. Others on the list who have won the ride are Colin Joyce, Kerren Hosking, Peter Norman and Jennifer Gilbertson (for a complete list of winners, see the honour roll on the ACT Endurance Riders Association website www.actera.org.au). The Bohm family warrants a special mention: while no individual appears to have achieved more than four buckles, five members of the family have at least one, beginning with Kevin’s successful completion of the 1982 ride on Kelkette Park Izak.

Apart from three years (1996, 2003 and 2007) when the ride was not held at all and another three years (2006, 2008 and 2010) when for various reasons it was held in Canberra, the National Capital ride has been run from its original base on the Blundell family’s property, “Brookvale”. From 1982 to 1985, the ride was 110km in three legs; from 1986 to 1993 it was 100km in two legs and from 1994 to the present it has been 80km in two legs though the course has changed several times. It is still regarded as a challenging ride and to have successfully completed it on five or more occasions is a significant achievement, but the people and horses who won some of their buckles before 1994 really earned them as they had to cover an additional 20 to 30km.

The buckle design has changed several times over the 30 years. The original buckle was an oblong in a silvery-coloured metal featuring a horse and rider in bushland; a plaque was offered as an alternative in 1985 and 1986; a new buckle with a gold or bronze rider against a contrasting background was introduced in 1987 and used for several years; then a round buckle with a horse’s head was used briefly in the early 1990s before being replaced in 1995 by a new design featuring a horse and rider against the Parliament House flagpole. While that design continues to be used, there have been several changes to the background colour and from 2011, some changes to the size, shape and overall appearance of the buckle.

The ACT Endurance Riders Association greatly appreciates the support of the many riders who have returned to our ride year after year and looks forward to this list continuing to expand. We hope to see lots of you back at “Brookvale” in October.

SHAHZADA 400 KM ENDURANCE RIDE

ST ALBANS N/W OF SYDNEY

THIS IS THE YEAR YOU GIVE IT A GO, STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE OF THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE

The 32nd 400km Shahzada Marathon endurance ride will be held from Monday,27th to Friday, 31st August, 2012 and camping will be available in St Albans at the ride base from Sat 18th as well as accommodation at many local venues….check out the Shahzada website www.shahzadaresults.org for all the information you will need, reserve your favorite number, entry forms and campsite requests to be sent ASAP and read some of the stories from past rides to get you motivated……this is a very special event and if you don’t do anything else in endurance, you have to ride Shahzada!! The marathon event is run over five days on local roads and tracks – McKechnies, Woomera Path, Shepherds Gully, Johnny’s Hill, The Steps and Prestons – a great deal of work has been done on the course over the last few years and there will be track clearing of some of the tracks in May because of the Careflight at St Albans ride…..if you can come and help please contact Haydn Fisher on 0263 733 932. These improved tracks, with the elimination of many tarred road verges and the wonderful help and advice from the veterinary panel during the ride over the last few years headed up by Dr. Kym Hagon, have helped to establish a very good completion rate – everyone who is successful receives a highly coveted Shahzada buckle. After riding and successfully completing Shahzada in 2010, Kym is back as Head Vet and together with wife Kim, the social committee promises you all heaps of fun during the week as well as “the ride of your life”. Jeff Bonham is back again this year as Chief Steward so book your holidays now and be prepared for a week to remember. In addition to the 400km event - there will be a 120 km Mini Marathon over three days (experience the passion and wonderful riding tracks of the Macdonald Valley without the pressure) – it is fantastic training for young horses. Come for the fun and the challenge – be part of the excitement – this is the premier ride of the endurance calendar and not to be missed. We have heaps of riders entering from Tasmania, Western Australia, Victoria and Queensland this year so St Albans will be buzzing. Enquiries: Sue Todd (02) 6379 7218 or email [email protected] Additional Shahzada information with heaps of its history is available on www.shahzadaresults.org. where you can see daily updates during the week of the ride. Entry forms are available on the website now….please send entry forms and money to Ross Mudie and send your campsite requests to Sue Todd.

It's that time of year again where we are gearing up for Shahzada. That means track clearing weekends. Anyone that can come and help, it would be greatly appreciated. The weekends for track clearing are as follows: 14th and 15th of July, 11th and 12th August, 18th and 19th August * * * * * *


Woodstock

80km 40km 20km SEPT 15-16, 2012

Lachlan Endurance Riders Club once again welcomes you to the Woodstock Showground for its annual rides.

This year we are again conducting 40 and 20km rides on Saturday afternoon as well as the usual 80, 40 and 20km on Sunday, giving riders the option to ride in one event, bring a second horse or try two events on the same horse.

Woodstock is approx 25km east of Cowra and 85km west of Bathurst, just 4km off the Mid Western Hwy. The Ride Base will be sign posted.

The showground has excellent facilities, flushing toilets and hot showers, town water and plenty of room and shade. Firewood will be provided. There will be a canteen operating from lunch time on Saturday, and a hot evening meal and dessert will be available at $15 a head all provided by the Woodstock Public School P & C.

The course will be similar to previous years, a mixture of private property, stock routes and some gravel road. The track is mostly undulating and very achievable for novice horses. The country in this area is usually at its best at this time of year and hopefully there will be green grass in abundance!

Entries and vetting for the Saturday 40/20km rides will be between 10.00-11.30am, start times will be 12 midday for the 40km and 12:30 for the 20km. Vetting for the Sunday 80/40/20 will be between 1-5pm. Start times on Sunday will be daylight for the 80km and 7am for the 40km. The 20km ride will start at 10am allowing riders to arrive and vet on Sunday morning.

Entries are $40 and $20 for the 40 and 20km, $80 for the 80km, $60 juniors. Snowy Zone members receive a $5 discount.

NSW ZONE 2 CHAMPIONSHIP REPORT Hooray! No fog for the start of the Zone 2 Championships at Cooyal. After a week of poor visibility someone must have heard our pleas. Our new neighbours at ride base were very helpful in allowing us to slash their paddocks for extra camping and to have a much safer start, cutting out the 300 metres of tar road. Mette Sutton did a great job with the tractor showing her secret talents, and the family opened up fences and installed gates. There were 129 entries all up. Thanks go to all the riders and their supporters for leaving the grounds spotless, it was greatly appreci-ated by the Progress Association. 90 riders left ride base at 5.30am on Sunday with just a glimmer of light on the horizon and crunchy frost under hoof. The 40km trainer started at 7am with 27 riders heading out to complete the first leg. The 20km social ride had 12 starters at 1pm on Saturday. To ensure a championship course, the regular 83km course was implemented with a 17km third leg. This leg was mostly level going on dirt roads with a short sharp climb to the checkpoint turn-a-round to keep everyone in-terested. With the day warming up considerably the front runners kept to a steady pace. Equal first across the line were David Player riding Ryton Pipes of Peace (1st mw) and Brodie Freeman riding Quinta Essentia (1st hw). The winning time was 5 hours 10 minutes, both horses looking fantastic. Ray Griffith’s horse Hazeldean Sahara was awarded middleweight fittest horse and heavyweight fittest horse was awarded to Scott Davenport’s horse Alhambra Pierrot. First lightweight was Allix Jones riding Nioka Park Jag and first junior was Tayla Warren riding Lilonda Sharjah. Both these horses received fittest horse in their division. But the star of the show was eight year old Tahnaya Mercieca riding Littlebanks Antwonette who completed the entire 100kms accompanied on a lead rope by Frank Mollema. She was such a happy little girl at the finish and received a very enthusiastic applause at the presentation. This could be the start of a great endurance career! A big thank you to the fabulous vetting team led by the indomitable Ray Gooley, and to Chief Steward Jeff Bonham who managed to be in several places at once when needed. Thanks to Penni and Lance who toiled at the timekeepers table and to all the other cheerful volunteers. A big thank you to our sponsors who enabled us to provide such great trophies: �� Big Rim P/L – sponsored the four fittest horse rugs �� Mudgee Vet Hospital – 1st heavyweight �� Ken Watson Swimming Pools – 1st middleweight �� Langswear – 1st lightweight �� Mudgee Toyota – 1st junior �� Tamworth & District Endurance Club – 2nd heavyweight �� Specialized Saddles (Di Luker) – 2nd middleweight


�� Lue Hotel – 2nd lightweight �� Virginia King – 2nd Junior �� Hayden & Gail Fisher – all four third place prizes (handmade bootjack and candelabras

made by Hayden) �� Husbands Saddlery – saddlecloths for 20km and 40km encouragement awards And thanks also to the Zone 2 Committee who provided the buckles/travel mugs for those who successfully completed the 100km ride. Further sponsors were Steins Vineyard, Robert Oatley Vineyard, Russells Produce, CRT, Tuldar Arabians, Glendos Pastoral, Braithwaite Family and Blowes Menswear. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone. We are now looking forward to next year, a very special year for the Mudgee Endurance Riders Club.

Mudgee Endurance Riders Club Committee

Pull up a stump!! By Eric Robinson and Ralph Turnbull

Eric Robinson (riding endurance since the early 70’s) was schooling a four and a half year old gelding he bred, when he was offered the chance to ride the 20 klm social at Mudgee with past rival Ralph Turnbull (riding endurance since the early 80’s).

Eric jumped at the chance thinking it would be a great experience for both himself and his new horse.

The ride brought back many memories for both of them of what they call ‘the good old days’ when the rule book was only two pages long, large (huge) prizes, hard rides for tough riders with real mountains (Paddy’s Rock and Ned’s mountain for those who remember).

Ralph had his 25yo, 14.1hh, Iditerod Red Wing (by Sadaqa) fit and shod ready for the ride but chose a borrowed mount instead.

The weather was perfect, the track was great and the riding was smooth except for the


occasional daylight between the Barcoo and Eric’s behind punctuating his usual trade mark riding style.

In the ‘old days’ if you were riding in front and heard Gordon Hobday on Oonoomba Leo doing his blood curdling yodel or Peter Cole riding Chip Chase Sadaqa coming from behind you could kiss 1st place goodbye!

Riding along, the ‘old blokes’ reminisced with Eric commenting “Where have all the prizes gone? Like this Barcoo saddle I’m riding in” referring to a Barcoo saddle he won on Anatol in Tooraweenah in April 1980.

Then there was the western saddle won for fittest horse at Yetholme in June 1980 and a TV in April 1981 at the Tooraweenah ride. That was the year Gordon Hobday won a horse float at St Albans. Can you believe it?

One year at the East Kurrajong ride, in the dark and mist, Ralph was cantering along the side of the swamp when he heard a frightened voice calling from behind “Ralph…Ralph”. He stopped to see if he could work out where the voice of the distressed rider was coming from. As he pulled up and looked around, he heard thundering hooves and at a fast canter coming from behind and Eric flew past him with a grin from ear to ear and said as he passed “How far do you think you would have gone if you hadn’t waited for me?”

Both these riders have won 80k rides in under four hours and could easily have won the 20k at Mudgee but – they decided to enjoy the sunshine, the steady pace and a good old yarn!

Good on you boys!


Tom Quilty Gold Cup 2012—ST. HELENS TASMANIA A FAMILY AFFAIR FOR THE GILBERTSONS

Our journey to the 47th Tom Quilty began a few years ago, when a then unqualified, Antonia Gilbertson who was living in Hobart, decided it would be a great idea if she rode the Tom Quilty in her home State. Her brother Simon Gilbertson who is among other things a five star hotel chef lives at Binnalong Bay - close to St. Helens on the coast. GG and I were hesitant at first particularly, having attended the previous Tom Quiltys in Deloraine and Sheffield, Tasmania in June? Very Cold. We were subject to much gentle persuasion from Antonia so we finally we relented and agreed to make this a ‘family affair’ Quilty. An added bonus was including staying a few days with our fabulous, horsey, grandchildren Kirrah and Sharni in Victoria. So began endurance rider qualifications which required Antonia would fly up to the mainland for rides. Once we had done that, we had to get her to successfully complete a 160 km. This she achieved at the Wingello NSW State Championships. With all the qualifications in place, we took our journey to St. Helens slowly, spreading it out over five days, stopping with family and friends along the way. With all of this care our horses arrived in great shape. The crossing takes twelve hours and this time it was rough. Once on board you don’t see your horses until you land in Tasmania We received a warm welcome upon arriving at St. Helens, a great ride base, training track with beautiful weather. We were very spoilt by Simon with great food, firewood in camp, an after competition spelling paddock a short stroll from ride base, all the comforts of home. It is always wonderful to catch up with old friends, particularly at the post ride party. The AERA presentation was special as we received 3x3000 km scrolls for Ferrymaster at Webbs Creek (aka Master Renaut), Howard Park Shataan and Kurrajong Shadad. The vetting went smoothly (I was No.13 on page 13 omen?) and at midnight there we were, Antonia and I riding out with 115 starters from all over Australia and including, an American, Japanese, Italian and UAE riders. The course marking was perfect, the design made an interesting scenic ride, never boring or repetitious. The pace up front was very fast. Antonia and I rode the ride mid field and our horses finished strongly to take 4th lightweight and 9th middleweight, I received my 9th buckle.

Brook Sample won the Quilty in spectacular style for the 6th time. Would like to take this opportunity to thank my strappers GG and Georgie Cadwallader and family and friends who kept the camp fire burning at home.

Jennifer Gilbertson preparing for the crossing to Tasmania and with her AERA Achievement Awards.


Preride we formed a N.S.W. team with two Jennifers (Jenny Annetts and myself) and two Allans (Caslick and Lindsay). Both the boys in our team did everything they could but sadly their lease horses just couldn’t do it for us. We counted up that we had 41 Quilty buckles between us, so was not for lack of experience. The Annetts made it a family affair also, Trish, Luke as well as Elsie Newsome strapping for Jenny Annetts our State Champion, for a 3rd Lightweight, achieving her 7th success. Another outstanding win and best conditioned was achieved by Brooke Sample riding Brookleigh Excaliber. This is the sixth time he has won the Quilty. Mathew Sample was third on Brookleigh Ricardo, this combination will represent us at the World Championships later this year. Gayle Holmes was in the top ten for her tenth buckle riding Desert Dullers Con strapped and owned by Wayne Johnson her other strapper was Steve Roberts. Christie McGaffin took home the Pat Slayter Cup for the second time, Christie rode Castlebar Gulfstream. Sadly, with a 53% completion rate it did not go well for many. There were eight entries from N.S.W. for three completions. Of course NSW was not only represented by riders but by our fabulous vets Robyn Mather, who has to be the best hospital vet in this country and beyond and Kym Hagon who has to get the award for best entertainer. Tom McCormack everyone wants him as their Chief Steward because he is the best in Australia. Looks like we’ll be making the Quilty pilgrimage to Kilkivan in Queensland to chase that elusive 10th buckle.

My St Helens Tom Quilty Experience By Gary Tweedie

It was with some trepidation that I set off with my wife Carolyn on the Thursday prior to the 2012 St Helens Tom Quilty. The reason for me reservations were that I had been to the last Tasmanian Quilty in 2005 at Deloraine, although this time we were not taking horses just a simple flight from Sydney to Launceston. The Deloraine event is now history of course but Tasmania’s winters are legendary and one can’t help but be a bit apprehensive with the prospect of a Tom Quilty in June in Tassie.

Our reason for going down were three fold, Carolyn’s Aunt and Uncle live only 5 minutes for the ride base at St Helens so we had the availability of great accommodation, as an AERA delegate I wanted to help out the committee where possible and I was fortunate to have won an award for my horse Zaahmir’s 3000km completion which was to be presented on the Thursday night at the 2011 AERA award presentations.

On arrival at Launceston airport and collecting our bags we picked up a hire car and set off in the 7 degree heat wave of Northern Tasmania. With snow-capped mountains to the east we commenced the two hour drive to St Helens. With the car heater full on, the road was not

crowded and the trip through to Carolyn’s Aunt and Uncle’s property was uneventful, arriving there at around 3:30pm. Whilst Carolyn caught up with the family I drove out to the ride base to “check in”,

Things were pretty laid back and with only 114 entries there was not the usual mayhem of some of the mainland Quiltys. The entry process had gone well and final preparations for the pre-ride vetting and the Friday midnight start

Photos by Matt Bennet www.mattbennet.com"


were well underway. I registered in with the Volunteer co-ordinator, caught up with a few familiar faces and old friends and had a bit of a look around at the ride base.

Six PM Thursday saw a good roll up of people for the AERA presentation evening. It was great to see a significant group of NSW members and supporters there for the awards. The presentations, lead confidently by Tom McCormack, AERA president and ably assisted by Ieva Peters, Sandy Little, Louise McCormack and a small team of helpers the evening got underway with the national point score winners followed by the distance awards. I was great to see the Tom Quilty Gold Cup on display and all recipients of awards had the opportunity to have their photo taken with their awards alongside the cup. It was especially pleasing to see Allix Jones recognised for her incredible achievement of 2nd placing at the World Youth games earlier in the year.

Following the final Friday preparations of pre-ride vetting and the pre-ride talk all was in readiness for the midnight start to the 47th Tom Quilty Gold Cup.

A little before midnight, as the 114 entries were warming up on the oval I left the ride base along with Matthew Krahnen to man the main road crossing about one kilometre for the base. The riders all came through behind the pace car and crossed the road without incident and the ride was truly on.

From this point we went up to check a safety concern at a fence opening, from there onto the 1st checkpoint just as the first riders were coming through. From here I went on to a road turning point for the next hour or so until all riders has come through. The night was, I assume great riding conditions for the competitors, but from my perspective, it was a clear and freezing morning.

From this crossing point I returned to the ride base and for a short time watched the first leg vetting, certainly a different perspective for me - not being a competitor.

As the volunteer list at this ride was extensive my services were no longer required for a while, and as the temperature was still hovering around freezing I took my leave back to my cosy accommodation. Saturday dawned clear, sunny and cold and remained so for the next couple of days.

I was fortunate enough to have time to watch the best conditioned workouts on Sunday morning and after so many years in the sport I am still in awe of how incredible our endurance horses are. Those presented on Sunday morning were not only a credit to their riders but to the sport in general.

Unfortunately that was all I had time to see due to time constraints but from all accounts and my overall impression it was a great Quilty with the best weather for many years. Congratulations to all competitors, ride organisers and volunteers on a great Quilty.

I would be almost tempted to come back in six years for the next Tom Quilty Gold Cup in Tasmania.

By Merri Apperley

To run a 160km State Championship Endurance ride in conjunction with an 80km Endurance Ride is a daunting task to say the least, but congratulations to Bec Hogan and her tremendous committee who made everything flow perfectly for nearly a week at Wingello.

Ride Committees are usually rather thin on the ground, but without a doubt the workers seemed to outnumber the riders, which made for plain sailing on course and at base camp.

We settled our modest camp in a little hollow out of the way, but in an excellent position to take happy snaps of riders coming and going and waited for the Pre-Ride Talk which is pretty much the equivalent of Moses on the Mount at endurance rides.

Chief Steward Tom McCormack, Head Vet Steve Roberts and Ride Secretary Bec Hogan outlined the parameters for the ride and we were truly lucky to have an address from Fiona Mellor who had a brilliant interview on ABC Radio before she and husband David packed to come to the ride.

Fiona outlined the success she is currently having on opening tracks to horses which was encouraging to those of us currently locked out of horse riding areas.

Appropriately liveried Cherished Volunteers also included Treatment Vet Karim Kooros from Burradoo, aided by the Steve Roberts’ backup Vets, Suzanne Polak, Georgey Sheridan and Daniel Sims.

Peter Hughes was the bean counter for the ride and the office ran according to plan with Ava Pellizari, Gay Bonham and Jessica Taylor. Pat Hughes sorted out the campsites and Checkpoint support vehicle manned by Brian Hughes who zipped around the course checking out the new and excellent communication system which had been donated by Waratah Thoroughbreds at Moss Vale. Kay Gordon and Monica Perry handled the coms.

All those helpers need feed and water, so Sharon Hogan kept them all functioning for over 24 hours while Jo Arblaster was out on course taking the pikkies.

I sat with my little fire in the pitch black at around midnight in a mini city of horses, floats, trucks, dogs and listened – there was nothing. There was not a sound, and then I listened again to a tiny hiss from the green wood and the murmur of a distant freight train some miles away. It’s almost surreal when you consider the elite of the endurance riding community are almost in limbo waiting for the 2am start.

Lying in a float or truck with a thousand mile stare through closed eyelids, pretending to rest and hoping like hell you can conquer the distance and bring your horse home safe and sound, it’s a big ask for you both.

Wingello State Champs—a success from start to finish!

Yes it is a sport, but it’s not for the faint hearted. They say we do it harder for longer, but the camaraderie, the friends you make which last lifetimes cannot be eclipsed. I had so many hugs and kisses from dear loving friends who you only see at “big rides” I came away so happy for touching base with those special people and a very comfy déjà vu experience.

160 km State Championship Ride In the 160km ride there were 12 Heavyweights, 21 Middleweights, 13 Lightweights and 6 Juniors; the 80km Ride had 16 Heavyweights, 21 Middleweights and 11 Lightweights and two Juniors

When the big hand hit 1am it was lights, and action, generators kicking in, but not much people noise, quiet preparation for the 2 am start. Horses being walked and warmed up, it was pretty cold, a bit foggy and the start for the 160km ride was ready to roll in a very orderly fashion.

There is something special about hearing those measured hoof beats in the cold dark air and a tiny tug of envy pulls at your heart when you remember the old glory days. Check your girth, check your torch, check, check - so go out and ride it!

The 160 course covered 5 legs, 45km, 41km, 31km, 27km and 16km with varying vet gate into hold times which makes for a very long day. In many instances riders went out in the dark and came home in the dark because you have 24 hours to complete the course and there is no point in hammering your horse to run the risk of overriding – To Complete Is To Win.

Looking at the stats there was a fairly low attrition rate on pulse and lameness because most of the riders had put a team together looking at going the distance in good form.

Apparently there was some breakout disaster just after the pre-ride talk which caused a couple of horses to be withdrawn prior to the start, unfortunately these things happen at endurance rides, there is always some minor tragedy in the wings. But the show goes on irrespective and commiserations to those riders affected.

Rather than fill the page with stats, I would rather you enjoy the photographs but I will give you the main placings in the ride.

First HW went to Selwyn Nix on Dunbar Mahadik in 13.53, and BC. Second was Haydn Fisher on Arasarta Narhalinain in 14.43. Third place went to Peter Luthy on Eljannah Majid in 16.18. Fourth went to Robert Catlin on Copperkahn Tiara and fifth to Ian Dreghorn on Mountain Breeze Jack The

Ripper. Ian walked the entire last 17kms to ensure the horse came home ‘fit to continue’. Strangely enough both horse and rider looked pretty good the next day.

Five of the 12 heavyweight riders were successful, 13 of the 21 middleweights got around OK, with 10 out of 13 lightweights being OK and 5 out of the 6 Juniors were happy campers at the end of the day.

Line honours went to middleweight rider Jennifer Arnetts on Littlebanks Dizzy in 11.20 and in an expected gallop finish, for equal 2nd which turned out to be an honourable agreement between riders with hands held over the line was David Player on Mirakhani Saa’meer and Matte Sutton from Mudgee riding Tudor The Magician in 11.26, 4th was Ray Griffiths on Hazeldean Sahara in 12.35 and next was Rachael Reid on Blakes Heaven Summer Reign in 12.36. Matte also won Best Conditioned middleweight.

Shoalhaven really shone in the Lightweight Division with a tremendously well ridden ride by April Newman on Lassan, who came over the line in 12 hours neat with Robin Gossip on Lila coming home in 12.35 and Shelly Ison riding Aloha Fabian in 12.36. April won BC and the smile on her face was just a joy to behold. Fourth was Emma McCormack on Donallagh Anika in 12.50 and fifth went to Antonia Gilbertson on Kurrajong Shadad in 13.20.

80 km Wingello Forest Ride The 80km ride at Wingello was very well supported with 19 heavyweights, 15 of who were successful with Andrew Jonkers on Girilambone Eclipse romped home in 6.30 for 1st, Heavyweight and BC HW/MW. He was followed by Monica Majerowski on Tallawarra Destiny in 7.22, and then Jason Wright on Parlour Mountain Spring in 7.30, with Marita Rifai riding Tianna, and 5th was Mark Lindsay on Kintamani Jaffa in 7.32.

Twenty-six middleweights competed with 21 successful and in time order they were Corey Nix on Razorback Blue Rhapsody in 17.14, then Allana Rempel on Ralvon Milarna in 7.17, closely followed by Karen Rhodes riding Strathfield Ghayth in 7.18, equal 4th went to Andrew Kettlewell on Al-Marah Thunder Bay in 7.20 and Jenny Berg on Al-Marah Parade in the same time.

There were 19 lightweights of whom 12 were successful. Line honours went to Vanessa Richardson on Turlingal Park Vassili in 5.30, and BC LW/JNR. Next was Anne Hills riding Kerewong Shelfyre in 6.34 then Carly Nix on Razorback Sugan ‘N Spice in 7.20, 4th was Ali McGrath on Castlebar Glitz in 7.43 and 5th went to Lee Duff riding Rowallan Simon in 7.52.

Both the two Juniors were successful and they were Mia Bodewes on Lionda Sharjah in 7.59 and second was Sarah Lymbery riding Forest Dale Xtrordinaire in 8.14.

Full results are on the net for you to read, if you can – the print out is so tiny I had to use a loupe to get the names right, so apologies to any I have misspelt.

At the presentations Bec Hogan made a point of thanking all the rug sponsors and helpers, special mention must go to her family of “conscripts” for working so hard, the Talong Fire Brigade who worked tremendously hard on keeping up the water for strapping and the dunnies (excellent dunnies).

Jo Arblaster has some excellent photos as she was official photographer, so her pix can be found on the net.

All in all an excellent few days and congratulations to those who were successful and we will see you at the next ride.

A very big thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors who made this event possible.

FOOTNOTE Just when I thought I was settling into a deep and meaningful relationship with my new SLR camera, which requires no maintenance, no feed, a charge up occasionally, a cosy cover and care when travelling, a new and terrible threat has come into my life.

My wilful and probably deranged daughter has decided I have to compete again OMG! She has a horse – perfect for Mummy.

If it was any greener, pre-selection for an election would be out of the question. It rolls its eyes and snorts, it glares and stomps it’s feet – “Just a few 40’s Mum” to fill out the Logbook!

Highly likely the next time my name appears in print it will be in the obituaries.

I rather liked resting on my laurels, they were comfortable, next week my laurels will be planted on a stock saddle on some manic equine. If I live through this an update will be forthcoming.

World Endurance Horse Riding Championships United Kingdom—August 25, 2012

160kms RIDE AND DOCUMENTARY

As some NSW riders will already know, Talea Hasko-Stewart and her horse, Blake’s Heaven Bombora, have been selected to represent Australia at this years World Endurance Championships.

The other selected Australian riders are:

�� Andrea Laws King and Razorback Lovesong (QLD)

�� Matthew Sample and Brookleigh Ricardo (QLD) �� Alexandra Toft and Emily Jones (QLD) �� Penelope Toft and Travina (QLD) �� Norbert Radney and West Coast Acharon (WA)

This makes Talea and Bombora the only NSW Team, and they’re looking for your help!

Return airfares for Bombora are $35,000, and esti-mated total costs for the trip are around $50,000. To allow Talea to bring her best friend home from the UK, she has started a crowdfunding site. Donations from friends, Endurance Riders, and people who are passionate about seeing others realise their dreams, will help bring Bombora home.

To find out more and help Talea visit www.pozible.com/talea.

A Sydney filmmaker, Adeline Gibson, is also travel-ling with Talea and the Aussie Team to the WEC and filming a documentary about Talea, BH Bombora & the Aussie Team. Donations of $60 or more through the Pozible site will receive a copy of the final film, so you can go on the journey with them!


Present: Tom Perkins Snr (Chairman), Carol Griffiths, Gay Bonham, John Howe, Haydn Fisher, Marlee Turnbull, Gary Tweedie, Kerry Spratt, Tom McCormack, Brad Dillon, Steve Roberts (Snowy Zone), Greg Moore (Zone 1), Melissa Attwell (Zone 2) Apologies: Belinda Hopley and Kieron Power. In attendance: Helen Rich (minutes), Charlie Gauci, Sonya Ruprecht RO’s bans on individuals.

Tom P circulated a paper prior to the meeting. He stated that we need to decide our position and how we are going to manage the situation regarding Ro’s possibly denying individuals access to a ride base that is on private property. Gay and Sonya should put together a draft document on how to achieve this. Need it fairly soon. Gay thinks we could just make it a clause in our ride booking form. Need to keep it simple but exact. NSW ERA needs to cover this in their affiliation agreements with ride organizers. Charlie Gauci – 6.26 pm.

Charlie gave a report on the Horsley Park ride. 74 rides and over 50% were brand new to endurance. From a promotional point of view, people found the ride fantastic. We encouraged people to go on and complete 40 klm. Charlie presented his bill for vets for payment. $1300 is the total bill. If the championships are moved to Tamworth next year, Gay’s group would not do it again. Charlie said he thought any promotional rides should be done by the NSW SMC. At the end of the day, if the NSW SMC is to pay for the vets, why not run the ride? EA Affiliation agreement.

Tom P said he put this on the agenda and circulated the following prior to the meeting - EA Affiliation agreement. He said this is a work in progress with the latest position being the attached proposal put by EA to which the AERA has replied with some submissions. They await EA’s response with, presumably, EA’s final position on the matter. What we need to address on 30th is how we are going to go about arriving at our (NSW ERA’s) voting position on the affiliation. He said he believes we will have a brief window in which to seek member input before we (SMC) decide how our AERA delegates shall vote. If we are not

overtaken by events before 30th Tom said he will be proposing the following: Post the final version of the proposed affiliation agreement on our website together with a ‘plain English’ summary of the agreement and its implications; Through the chat page, and Facebook invite member comment via the feedback page on the website. Circulate a summary of the constructive comments received to SMC members prior to us then debating and deciding our (NSW ERA’s) position, and how our delegates are to vote. Tom Mc gave a report on a counter proposal that was put to the EA. Waiting for a written report back. This has not been forthcoming. When Tom Mc comes back with the report from EA we can circulate this and then move on to the members. 2011 State Ride, allocation of placings, prizes

MOVED John Howe, THAT due to the fact that NSW SMC cannot

retrieve the rugs involved in the 2011 NSW State Ride matter, NSW ERA purchase new rugs and pass them on to the people involved.

Carried Unanimous Gay Bonham abstaining. Response to Steve Roberts re drug testing.

Discussing letter from Steve Roberts concerning the drug testing at the 2011 State Ride. Steve made certain recommendations at the end of this letter. All officials involved in swabbing should be reminded of the correct swabbing procedures. Kerry says there is an email list setting out drug stewards through EA. There are suggestions to EA that they run many more EA courses and we should pay to have people do these courses. AERA person has written a FEI protocol for swabbing. The jumping people won’t allow a horse to eat or drink before being drug tested. Tom Mc said that these people charge heaps of money for drug testing. MOVED John Howe, Haydn Fisher THAT the letter as presented to the

meeting be sent to him by the Secretary

Carried Unanimous except Gay Bonham

Notes on NSW ERA Meeting of 30 March 2012


who abstained. Storage – NSWERA/AERA

Tom Mc recommended that we identify a storage unit, bring everything back together, work out the cubic meters, work out the bill on the cubic meters. The SMC agreed in principle to do this. Sonya to check out what is available in her area and get a price. Horsezone Banner on Web-site

Horsezone is a place where you can sell horse stuff. Lady came forward and put up sponsorship for last year’s State Ride. It was supposed to be on our website. Agreement that this will be done. Brad will take care of this, this week. Sonya Ruprecht– Secretariat/Membership services Membership to date: Adult 380, Junior 27, Associate 27, Honorary 6, total 440. Newsletter 293. Request for replacement logbook for Kurrajong Unique (Novice Horse) by Joelene Cole – she hasn’t sent an official stat dec so won’t issue until this is received but wanted to get confirmation at this meeting that it OK to issue one on receipt of stat dec. Agreement that this is ok.

Gay said that as from 1 April the Statutory Declaration criteria has changed. Steve asked that the Commonwealth Form be used rather than the State form. MOVED Greg Moore, Haydn Fisher. THAT a log book be issued for Kurrajong

Unique when an appropriate Statutory Declaration is received from Joelene Cole

Carried Unanimous Need to develop procedures for renewal of TPR m’ships at start of year. Discussing the number of vets receiving newsletters. Sonya to work this out with Haydn – get email addresses and take it from there. Does NSW ERA realize that everyone has to pay to look at Queensland’s newsletter? Perhaps NSW could consider doing this. Need to purchase a new laptop for Sonya. MOVED Tom McCormack, Gay Bonham THAT the Secretariat source a new laptop,

investigate the external storage capacity and purchase external storage capacity as well.

Carried Unanimous

John Howe – Ride calendar

The year is away to a soggy start. Last weekend saw good rides at Wandandian and Oakhampton, by all reports two successful rides. This can only bode well for a great year of Endurance Riding.

The State Championship Ride at Wingello to all reports is on track andis progressing well.

The Q60 that had to be cancelled due to the ride will be run later in the year. Cedar Ridges Easter Carnival has attracted a great deal of attention and should prove a good event. NEW RIDE BOOKINGS RECEIVED. Q60 100/40/20km – Approved for 7th October 2012. Harden Murrumburrah 2x80/2x40/2x20/2 day 160 elevator – 29 & 30 Sept (two days of rides). Already approved. Snowy Zone Champs 120/80/40/20 – 14th Oct. Approved for 14th October. New Italy 80/40 (DUAL Aff application) 16 Sept. QERA. Woodstock the only ride on this weekend. Approved. Cedar Ridge 80 AERA&FEI/40/20 – 14 Oct or alt 2 Sept. John to get back to Cedar Ridge about this. Ongoing - NSW FEI Champs – 160km AERA ride still to be approved for 24/26 November 2012.. Approved.

Tom P was to contact Robin Parnell about this. A letter was sent from the Secretary apologizing for the incorrect information set out in that letter. Discussing the 16 hour riding time. Requested that the riding time for the AERA event be widely advertised so that there is no misunderstanding by riders. The ride has been approved. Tom Perkins –President, Google Maps, Governance, Procedures. Report - President - Governance & Procedures Since last meeting my time has been mostly taken up with updating the Governance and Procedures manuals, CD copies of which will be distributed to SMC members on 30th March, and the Agreement renewals for Secretariat, Minutes Secretary, and newsletter editor - these are now ready for signing once the payment details are updated following the March CPI figures in the first week of April. The new payment rates will be affective from 1st April.

Tom distributed a disk with the updated Governance and Procedures manual. One other thing he has are the service agreements. These have been done and are updated but


waiting on CPI for March. Probably published in the middle of next week. He will then put the figures in and send to Helen and Sonya to sign. Marlee Turnbull – Vice President, AERA , Zone Liaison, Child Protection Officer Had something come up at the SIAC ride with reference to the number of horses per vet. It is a big cost on ROs to provide one vet for every 30 horses at a training ride. It was pointed out that this is not a rule. It is merely a recommendation on the ratio. Do not have to have one vet for every 30 horses. Tom McCormack – Treasurer, AERA Invoices for approval P&L MOVED Tom McCormack, Steve Roberts THAT the invoices be paid and the Profit &

Loss be accepted. Carried Unanimous AERA report prepared by Tom was tabled and had been previously emailed to members of the SMC. Agreement NSW SMC should contact VERA and seek their input regarding the 50the anniversary of the Quilty. We want it to be held in NSW. Gay Bonham – Secretary, Ride Administration, Ride Standards Correspondence in and out noted and tabled. Alan Lindsay and Neil Clarkson do not wish to remain on the IDP. The Community Justice Centre has given us an extension of time for a response to them. We need to reply by 10 April. Suggest that we write to them advising that we think we have a solution and will not need their services. Brad Dillon - Newsletter, Web Site Liaison Brad made mention of the plastic bags for posting the newsletter. Brad asked for the name of the supplier of the bags and the bag sealer so that this could go into the Manual. Website is updated. State Ride is up there. Brad is going to USA for 11 weeks so he will miss a few SMC meetings but he will have Internet access and can update the web via email. Using a new email address. His Yahoo account is closed. Will send an email out tonight confirming his new email address. Haydn Fisher – Horse Welfare, CS & TPR, Vet Liaison Haydn has a letter from Sean Pollard. Letter says that he did his chief steward’s course under Jeff Bonham. He has since found out that he isn’t a TPR. Was about to do the

course some time ago – now done it. Should he do a couple of probationary rides as a chief steward? Where should he go form here? There is a new rule coming in on 1st July from the AERA regarding chief stewards. Agreement that Sean Pollard needs to start again to complete the process of becoming a chief steward. David Brown could not go to Tasmania so Kym Hagon said he would go. Haydn said he had a couple of Chief Steward reports. One from Horsley Park. Neil Clarkson was chief steward. John Parbury was the head vet. Ride base was good but needed toilets. Track was boggy but fantastic. Track marking and rider conduct good. All good. Oakhampton on the weekend. Good number of TPRs helping. Track good. Plenty of water. Track marking good. Everyone behaved.. Riders loved the ride. Preliminary incident report. Melissa Attwell had a problem and has a crack in her arm. Another rider was dislodged – horse ran through a fence. Carol Griffith - Promotions

Carol has an article that she wants to put into the next newsletter. Asking input from the NSW SMC. This was put up on the screen. MOVED Kerry Spratt, Gay Bonham THAT NSW ERA endorse Carol’s article

for the newsletter. Carried Unanimous Kerry Spratt – AERA, International, Grants Grants: We have received confirmation (previously advised by email) that our application for Sports and Athlete Development Program project funding from NSW Sport and Recreation was successful. This amounts to $14910.00 for 2012, the same as 2011. I will bring the terms and conditions with me for the SMC to decide if it wants to proceed with the funding. We will need to commit to meeting the conditions (not difficult). I am in the process of reporting on the Sports Development Program funds for 2010/11 so we can access the 2011/12 funds of $6500.00. We need to ensure that the website and newsletter carry the correct logo and all other printed material carries either the logo or the words 'Supported by NSW Sport and Recreation'. International


Cedar Ridge will be hosting FEI one and two star events at Easter. I'm looking forward very much to being on the Ground Jury for these events and I wish the organising committee all the best for the weekend. AERA is still working to secure a satisfactory agreement with EA to facilitate opportunity for our members to access international competition in Australia and overseas. It was great to see the interest and passion of the people who attended the forum at the AERA meeting. cheers Kerry AERA Tom McCormack has prepared a report which we are happy to discuss at the meeting Kerry gave details of the terms and conditions that need to be complied with for Sport & Rec funding. Sport & Rec reserves the right to audit the funds. The important one is an agreement to acknowledge the Department in our advertising etc. Training and development programs were listed. We need to undertake this. Training and accreditation are the keys. Sport and Recreation have a new Logo. Kerry to send this for the newsletter. We have been accepted for Sport and Rec funding. There are terms and conditions that must be met for the approval of the funds. Kerry said she will read these out and the group needs to undertake to comply with the requirements. TPR, vet schools, chief stewards training – we must go to the courses that are available. We did none last year. Must do some this year. Need to get some First Aid People up and running. Conflict Resolution courses are good. Discussing the Zones taking this one. Zone One and Zone Two have ideas in mind that are being developed. We need to make sure that the Zones know that this money is available for the purposes listed above. Get them to put in a proposal to the NSW SMC. Gay to send a letter to the Zone secretaries asking for their input. Kerry was asked to send a copy of the terms and conditions for attachment to these minutes. Agreement that NSW SMC accept the terms as listed by Kerry. Zone delegates were asked to find someone to do First Aid courses. Tom McCormack said that he and Lou had been discussing a plan for next year for a

seminar and trainers etc. advising that when this was put together the same format could be used for other areas of the State. Gary Tweedie –AERA Zone Liaison TRAIL PRESERVATION The first round of submissions has been sent to NPWS. Unfortunately very few were submitted from Endurance due to the time constraints. I have contacted all Zone delegates to spread the word to their Zones and Clubs to start compiling maps of trails ready for the next round of submissions. Fiona can provide some maps if needed. Please contact Fiona or myself and we can forward them if available. There are also some programs available that NSW ERA could purchase so we could provide maps. The cost would be around $100 for all NSW topographical maps. AERA The last meeting of the AERA was held on the weekend of 3rd to 5th march 2012. The agenda for the meeting was very full and a great deal of matters were dealt with including: AeraSpace, The new data base; EA agreement; AERA AGM, Positions; Results of voting on motions; AERA Face book; Constitution LOGO I have attached some examples for the SMC to consider. I need to establish a few basic concepts before I progress to the next stage of design. Please consider your preferences and let me know at the meeting. Zones At our last Zone meeting it was discussed if it is possible for Zones to have their own web page on the NSW Web site. If this is possible I think it would be a great way to promote Zones and of course the sport as a whole. The idea would be for each Zone to have their own specific page where they could put up photos, local information, meeting notices. Zone 1 – Greg Moore – Feedback Forum, Ride Surveys, Membership Surveys Zone One Report Zone One has had a difficult start to the year with both the Q60, which was due to run on the 11/03/2012, and the Zone One Trainer, due to run on the 11/02/2012, both needing to be cancelled - due to flooding. This has had a


significant impact on the Zone financially. An application is now before the SMC to run the Q60 on the 07/10/2012. A training ride was held at SIEC (Sydney International Equestrian Centre) on Saturday 17/03/2012 and was a great success - even though the weather was not good. There were 74 entries of which more than half were riders new to Endurance. Charlie Gauci, the ride organiser, will present a more comprehensive report on the event at the SMC meeting. Ride Surveys & Feedback Survey forms have been received for the Bush Capital Trainer, SIEC Trainer and Oakhampton Manilla Ride. The consolidated results for Bush Capital have been forwarded to the ride organiser. The results for the other two will be forwarded after the closing date. All the feedback received has been very positive. I will table the forms at the meeting. Zone 2- Melissa Attwell Zone two has had a great start to the 2012 season. The Tamworth and District endurance club hosted a ride at Oakhampton last weekend. By all reports it was a great success with riders and strappers commenting on the excellent hospitality and organisation by the Tamworth and District Endurance Club. were 74 riders in the main ride and 27 in the training ride.

I have begun compiling points for the inter-zone competition from this ride. However, I was not able to organize teams for the Wandandian ride as attempts to organize this were not replied to.

Zone two would like to add an item to the agenda for the next SMC meeting. A proposal

for the 2013 NSW AGM -to be held at Oakhampton. Kym Hagon will forward a complete proposal to me before the next SMC meeting to be put up for discussion.

The planning is underway for the Zone 2 championships to be held at Mudgee on the 20th May 2012. Zone 4- Steve Roberts – Dispute Resolution & Disciplinary Process amendments See Annexure D to these minutes for Steve’s documents. He said has had received some input from SMC members. Asked that anyone who disagreed with the way he was heading with this, to contact him with their concerns. General Business Greg Moore read out a letter from Neil Clarkson regarding the new State Logo. Neil doesn’t think that the Logo selection should be rushed. Enquired what Logo should do onto the buckle. Like to see the SMC narrow down the selection and present their choices to the members for their choice. General view is that Neil misunderstood the choice of Logo. It is not being chosen tonight. Gay to reply to Neil. State Ride buckles arrived today. Query as to how payment is made. Tom Mc advised of the GST problem. Gay will follow this up with the Ride Organiser. There being no further business the meeting closed at 10.45 pm

NOTICE Attention Ride Secretaries

Following a recommendation from the AERA International Committee (AERA IC), the AERA has agreed that a $5.00 affiliation fee should be paid to the AERA IC for each horse entered into a FEI ride. Ride Organisers should add this amount to their ride entry fee.

AERA Inc


Far-A-Way 2012 As a confirmed Shahzada marathon addict, and enjoying the addition of the Manilla Muster to our NSW marathon calendar, I still had the need to venture north and tick off the Far-A-Way marathon ride too. I must thank Kim Hagon for planting the seed about this ride. We had planned back in October last year to do the marathon together, however work and other commitments for the Hagon family meant they were not able to come. So I decided Tiki and I would embark on the journey on our own....or so I thought at the time. About 3 or 4 weeks before the ride Sue Todd called me to say she was also making the trip north to attempt the Far-A-Way. Great, another friendly NSW rider to tackle the tracks! Monday we hit the road, Mum and I and my 10 month old kelpie puppy Pip, and of course Tiki in his new float! Hmmm no more floating issues. Thanks Dean for selling me your float, it is a winner. We made our way to Clybucca, just north of Kempsey where we stayed at a fantastic horse friendly (and dog friendly) hotel - Neds Bed. I would highly recommend this place if you need a break from travelling - fantastic service and facilities. Tuesday we made our way to Chindera on the Tweed Coast, where we met up with Sue. My friend Erin Webber had contacts at a trotting stable and organised yards for Tiki and Lacey (Sue's horse) for our overnight stay - just fantastic. Erin who is a fabulous qualified horse and human masseur also travelled to Imbil with us to help work on us and our horses while we were away. Wednesday morning we cruised into QLD and made our way to Imbil – Pacific Highway, Motorways and then the Bruce Highway the entire way - such an easy drive from Newcastle. We were met by camp boss Jim Green and shown to our reserved marathon riders camp site. Maureen and Graham Feltham with Malali were our camp neighbours. The set up for our camp now began. This was a great opportunity to start to acclimatize ourselves and the horses to the increased heat and humidity. Thursday we took the horses for a light 10km ride in the morning to see how they felt after travelling...all looking good. Entries were put in and then off to vetting. We received thumbs up from the vets for Lacey and Tiki, so we were ready to start the 320km ride.


Both horses took the ride in their stride - after the first day Tiki realised we were here for a marathon and settled in well to clicking over the km's. We had temperatures in the mid 30's, an afternoon of rain one day which brought on high humidity and at times were lucky enough to get some breeze in the forest. The track marking was superb - Bob, loved the white paint lines marking the tracks and turning points, so easy to see in the dark. There was heaps of horse water in troughs and so much fresh water in creeks all around the course. The iconic totem pole 5km from base was a friendly sight for the return trip into base on each leg. The Easter Bunny even found us out on track on the Sunday with chocolate eggs left out for all the riders. Thanks to WICEN for fantastic checkpoints, with water for riders. In the high heat and humidity it was vital to keep hydrated as a rider so we could clearly look after our horses. The 2am start on Monday the last day was a bit of a killer, but proved to be wonderful. We had 40km as the first leg and a nice 20km to finish the ride. We were in and vetted by lunch time with thumbs up for both horses!!! Yay another marathon done and dusted. Maureen and Malali were also successful. Congrats! It was great to see all the successful completion horses for the 320km marathon paraded on Monday afternoon. True to Shahzada style, I did get a bit heavy handed with the sliver glitter to sparkle up Tiki. His tail all braided and extra glitter on tail and his entire body. Little did I know the head vet would actually check each horse again.....sorry Jon, he ended up covered in glitter, needless to say the next few horses did also. Just a little bit of NSW shimmer rubbing off onto those QLD horses!!! Thank you to all the ride organisers, committee, volunteers and sponsors that make our rides possible and help turn them into the amazing events that they are. A huge thanks to my fantastic little pony - Tiki I love you to bits, you are my little superstar. Thank you Sue and Lacey for being fantastic travel, camp and riding buddies. The two horses worked really nicely together and both finished strongly. Thanks Mum for strapping, cooking, keeping camp organised and also doing my washing.....yes I was spoilt. Love you. Erin, thanks for w orking on Tiki and also my massages. Hope you can make it to Shahzada this year, you are certainly booked in. It was fun having you and your two lovely girls in our camp.

A huge thanks to all the friendly QLD riders in camp and out on track. There was a lot of encouragement by many riders for the marathon horses getting around the tracks. The Barlows, Melissa Longhurst, Rachel Kuns and all the others – Thanks for your suggestions on riding the Far-A-Way marathon. It was very different to Shahzada and a different style of marathon riding was needed – thanks for all the helpful tips. Thanks to all the NSW riders who kept in contact while we rode and wished us well. The Far-A-Way 320km marathon is a challenging but extremely rewarding ride. If you are a marathon junkie like us....get yourself to QLD one Easter weekend for the Far-A-Way at Imbil. BUT, back to NSW....Manilla Muster is next on the marathon calendar. Tiki and I can't wait. See you all there. Mel Anderson - Membership No. 22884

A highly successful Team camp for the Short listed Riders and their horses for the World Championships to be held at Euston Park UK on August 25 this year, was held the weekend of 14/15 June . The Camp was organised by Peter Toft, the Australian Chef d Equipe and was also attended by the Team Veterinarian Narelle Cribb, plus a member of the National Selection Committee.

The camp was held at the Noosa North Shore retreat, a venue that has everything that suited the needs of the camp attendants, excellent stabling and huge dressage arena as well as beach riding and comfortable accommodation for the team and good pub meals to relax in the evening.

Attending the camp to address the team were Chris Burke of IRT, who spoke of all the horse travel requirements, quarantine regulations and most importantly, costs. Jackie Byrnes, former Olympics athletic coach addressed the riders as athletes with some serious body fitness and conditioning to do. On Sunday well known Brisbane dressage rider Ruth White came and rode each team horse that was present and then had the rider ride their own horses, this was a very interesting exercise.

Attending the Camp was Penny Toft and Travina, Alexandra Toft and Emily Jones te, Ondy Laws King and Razorback Lovesong, Talea Haskow Stewart and Blakes Heaven Bombora, (with her Mum Fia and sister Adeline). Norbet Radny together with Jane flew in from WA and rode another Toft horse. Matt Sample also attended minus Ricardo, who was arriving back from Tassie on that week end.

This couple of days gave everybody a chance to meet and get to discuss with everybody and be advised on a whole lot of issues. There is still a lot of work for the Team to do, and it will be good to see support and recognition from the Endurance family in their efforts to win medals in what will be a very competitive field. The horses are scheduled to fly out on August 8th. A further veterinary check will be performed on all the horses at some time prior to departure when the final Team will be announced. A big thank you must go to Jackie Wright who worked behind the scenes to help make this camp a success.

The Quilty for 2012 has been run and won, and it was a very good event, held at a comfortable venue during a patch of delightful Tassie weather. A fairly small select field (by Quilty standards) competed in a ride that was very well organised. Very well done to the Tassies Quilty Committee under the stewardship of Pat Hodgetts who has been a veterinarian at 20 consecutive Quilties. Congratulations to Pat.

All the stats have been published elsewhere, but another record and congratulations must go the the Winner, Brook Sample and BL Excalibur in a time of 9:14:16hrs for Brook’s 6th Gold Cup and Exaclibur’s 3rd win. True Champions.

The very informative Squad camp was held during Quilty week. We were fortunate to again have a line up of excellent speakers. Dr Mike Tomlinson, the visiting veterinarian from the USA delivered excellent sessions on the prevalence of ulcers in horses and treatment, and how to get your horse thru the vet check. Dr Tomlinson also spoke at length about the importance of good horse nutrition. Dr Anne Barnes, who was also the Head veterinarian of this Quilty, and Chair of the National Selection Committee, spoke on what Selectors look for when selecting World Championship teams. Kristie again showed the popular trot up video’s that we saw last year plus lots of editions on correct and incorrect ways to trot horses for veterinary inspections. Dr Trish Annetts spoke on preparing riders for good competition and the great places that Squadees can go when representing their country. Meg finished the day with her journey so far and informing us all it won’t be long before she will be riding 20kms. Go Meg! Not forgetting the lots of scones and cream cake and delicious sandwiches for lunch.

A note especially to all the young riders, next year will see the Young Riders World Champs held at Tarbes, France in July 2013. There will be notices with regard to this event and Australia’s involvement in this event coming out here very soon. Check FEI Rules for Endurance Article 816.3 4* Juniors and Young Riders And again in 2014 we will have the WEG at Normandy, these events are currently undergoing important discussions.

The FEI Rules for Endurance are currently being revised and will be put to the FEI General Assembly for adoption in November, meanwhile the current World Championship qualification rules remain as the status quo.

The Board of Management of the Squad meet in Brisbane July 14 prior to the AERA meeting, discussion on possible changes to the Squad and ongoing education and International competition is being discussed at the coming meetings. Barbara Macdonald—Squad Manager


My St Albans awakening !!!!!! Having competed at the Careflight ride at St Albans on the 10/06/2012. I come to realise again how lucky we are being able to do riding endurance at such a unique ride base with its historic village and surrounding landscape within such a close proximity to Sydney. All weekend people unrelated to endurance were unable to resist the spectacle that we as a group provided, enthralled by our horses and our sport. For me the most important aspect of the weekend was to see so many young kids and their little horses enjoying some of the challenges we face every time we com-pete in an endurance ride. In the main ride it rained most of the day making it a little more challanging than normal, Riding along the high country on both legs the scenery was magnificent. I made a mental note to look around a bit more in future rides instead of just looking in front. Credit must go to everyone who completed. A big thank you to Sue and Neil their community and helpers, Emily and the Vets were friendly, efficient, capable and fair. Jeff and the TPRs kept everything running smoothly and were on call till dark. Above all this was done with donations going to Careflight a very worthy cause. CONGRADULATIONS!!!!

Present: Tom Perkins Snr (Chairman), Carol Griffiths (6:50), Gay Bonham, John Howe, Haydn Fisher, Marlee Turnbull, Brad Dillon, Steve Roberts (Snowy Zone), Greg Moore (Zone 1), Melissa Attwell (Zone 2), Belinda Hopley, Kerry Spratt (6:50) Apologies: Gary Tweedie, Tom McCormack,

In attendance: Helen Rich (minutes), Sonya Ruprecht, Neil Clarkson (short period) State Ride 2012 There were 100 riders all up. We have received only one ride survey. Whilst we have not received an official ride report for Wingello State Ride, it was suggested that Bec Hogan did a remarkable job given that the State Ride Committee was stretched very thin. Unfortunately the water donkey fell through at the last moment. The question has been raised if this should be an official requirement for a State Ride. It was suggested that it should be - given the status of this particular ride. Suggestions were made to address some of the issues. It was suggested that the SMC should step in and offer assistance to any State Ride committee where there was a shortage of helpers since this is such a large prestigious event. EA Affiliation agreement. Got until Tuesday week to consider this. We need to go through this agreement and decide what the NSW delegates will vote in this regard. Put a note on the web with a link to the appropriate website. Tom said he has some feedback on this from Kym Hagon who isn’t in favour of the agreement. Agreement Tom P to send an email next Friday seeking member input and he will put a summary together for the delegates. Round 2 of Disciplinary Procedure Review – Steve Roberts Steve asked if the SMC agreed with his flowchart which had been sent out previously. General discussion followed with some changes being suggested that Steve will incorporate. Tom P went on to discuss the rights of the individual member. Agreement they should have a right to participate in any hearing. This is the spirit of the Constitution. RO’s bans on individuals Gay has refined the ‘ride application’ form in an appropriate manner. She read this out. It advised that ROs shall not forbid any member to take part in a ride nor stop them from entering onto their property. Storage – NSWERA/AERA Sonya and Gay obtained prices for storage. The meeting agreed to only worry about the NSW stuff

at this stage. Swabbing Discussed the need for the SMC to decide on an amount of money to spend on swabbing this year. Need to agree on what rides are to be swabbed. Agreement swabbing can be done at any time at any ride. Discussing Shahzada and the Championship rides for the different zones. Tom P said that the rides to be swabbed at, should not be announced at an SMC meeting. No one should know which rides are to be swabbed except the relevant portfolio person. Gay said there needs to be something in the newsletter advising that swabbing will take place. Make up a box for the newsletter – advise random swabs will be done and then advise the results in future newsletters. Proposal for Zone 2 to host 2013 AGM The proposal was tabled and duly discussed. Confirmation that the SMC have read the proposal. Tom P confirmed that there was agreement to rotate around the zones. Melissa asked that any feedback be sent to the Tamworth Club. MOVED Belinda Hopley, Greg Moore THAT the proposal from the Tamworth Club

to host the 2012 AGM be accepted Carried Unanimous Future of the on-line Survey – Greg Moore Very little feedback is being received. Perhaps a modified ‘on line version’ may work for new rides only. Greg said he would be happy to rework the idea but there is nothing new coming in at the moment. Feels it is just a waste of time. The meeting suggested that he undertake a review and see if he can come up with a new proposal. Portfolio responsibilities – Haydn Haydn said that he and Belinda have agreed to split this portfolio. Haydn will take on the EWS. Haydn will also take on swabbing and invasive treatment. Belinda will retain Chief Stewards, TPRs and vet liaison. Horse Death – Haydn Fisher Tooraweenah – horse went down with colic. The AERA has been advised of the death. Haydn is still gathering the necessary information in order to put a report together. EOI for TDEC to host 2013 State Championships John said that he had the application. Weekend 13/14 July at the Oakhampton base at Manila. This is not a long weekend. The date has been set to fit in with a number of other rides. Muster in early May, 5 weeks later Quilty, 5 weeks later State Ride and 5 weeks later Shahzada. Discussing the Q60 date, Manila and ‘traditional dates’. The Muster is to be moved to the Q60

Notes from the NSW ERA Committee Meeting held at Richmond Club, Richmond 11 May 2012 commencing at 6.15 pm


weekend. John said that given the fact that the TDEC have run heaps of 100 miler rides he would like to move that the ride be accepted. MOVED John Howe, Haydn Fisher THAT TDEC be granted the NSW State Ride

for 2013 on 13 and 14 July 2013 Carried Unanimous It is now John’s job to negotiate with the rides that may be affected by the 2013 State Ride date. Agreement to proceed with the ride calendar at this stage of the meeting. NEW RIDE BOOKINGS RECEIVED. Cedar Ridge Easter Carnival 2013 – 29 March-1st April 2013 – Approved AERA 80/160 elevator over 2 days. FEI 120**,FEI 80*, AERA 80/40/20 Tooraweenah 80/40/7.5km 20-21 April 2013 alternate 27-28 April 2013 – Approved. Bright High Country 80/40/15 – 6 - 7 Oct 2012 – dual affil VIC. Not approved. Oakhampton 80/40/5-20 4 & 5 May 2013 alternate 11-12 May 2013 - Discussing traditional dates for May. Mudgee, Manila, Q60, The Rock – these are all traditional dates for May. Agreement that the Muster, being a bigger ride, will impact on the Q60. Tom suggested that John contact the ride committees involved with the Muster ride date and see if agreement can be reached regarding ride dates. Sonya Ruprecht– Secretariat/Membership services Membership to date: Adult 402, Junior 33, Associate 28 and Honorary 6. Total 305. Newsletter 305. John Howe – Ride calendar The State Champs at Wingello has been run and won. Manilla has put in an expression of interest to run 2013,thank you Manilla. Everything else seems to be going well with no contentious matters on the horizon. Tom McCormack – Treasurer, AERA Invoices for approval P&L No report. Tom has been working on AERA things. Kerry sought approval for payment. Mary Lou Locke $185.60. Two swabbing course. Two state ride rugs – $495.00.

MOVED Brad Dillon, Greg Moore THAT the accounts as tabled by Kerry be

paid Carried Unanimous Kerry wants an understanding that the swabbing course expenses should be paid for out of the sport and rec money.

Gay Bonham – Secretary, Ride Administration, Ride Standards Correspondence in and out was tabled. Email from Virginia Blain was tabled. Letter tabled from another member. This was read by Gay and concerned the State Championship ride horse break out. Discussing horse yards in general. People should make sure that electric fences are kept switched on. Needs a reminder in the newsletter and website. Also the chat line. Gay Bonham to put something together and forward it on. Brad Dillon - Newsletter, Web Site Liaison Neil posted the newsletter out today. Brad will put a copy online tomorrow. Quilty nominations to be called for again. No replies so far. Haydn Fisher – Horse Welfare, CS & TPR, Vet Liaison Heard most of his report from Belinda previously. Gail Fisher went to the drug course. Carol Griffith - Promotions No report at this stage. Her computer was stolen. Lost a lot of stuff. Currently doing a lot of back tracking. Kerry Spratt – AERA, International, Grants Grants : we have received the project funding of $14910.00 plus GST. Please ensure we acknowledge NSW Sport and Recreation on all stationery, entry forms, ride publicity etc anywhere we can. Could the Zone Delegates please reinforce this message with your Zones and Clubs?

Please also encourage your Zone members to take up the offer of funded training, especially First Aid courses. It would be a good thing to have trained first aid personnel available for rides in all the Zones. Last meeting I asked everyone to identify people who would like to attend training, for example governance, sports administration, child protection and first aid.

I would appreciate details of anyone you have identified please. I'd suggest that the medication control course attended by six of us last weekend should be funded from the project funds, in the form of reasonable travel and meals and accommodation if anyone had accommodation expenses. It was a very worthwhile course.

International: the Cedar Ridge 1* and 2* events ran very successfully over Easter. Feedback has been very positive, by all accounts the multi format rides ran extremely well together. It was great to see the officials from both AERA and FEI working together to the benefit of the rides and the competitors.

Thanks to Lesley Freeman and Haydn Fisher who both did great jobs as Chief Stewards. The FEI National Championships will be at Red Range later this year and is the only other FEI ride in NSW for 2012.


AERA: we will be called on to vote on the draft EA/AERA agreement later this month, and will require your instructions on how to vote. I think the current offering from EA falls short of what we need and what I believe are entitled to, and should be renegotiated by whatever means available. I would ask for your support in having the AERA continue to negotiate an agreement that will allow the opportunity for those of our members who want to participate in FEI events to do so. Kerry queried the AERA meeting which is in July. Queried the discussion regarding the EA agreement. Tom P brought her up to date on what happened earlier in this meeting. Kerry elaborated on the suggested agreement. At the moment the AERA has hit a full stop with the EA. The mechanism for aspiring to international competition becomes very doubtful without the EA. She advised on the background on the Sports Committee. What does this mean to the average member? $7 – that’s all. For a person to be able to attend a FEI ride each year it would cost $800. We need to foster international competition. Difficult to do it without the EA agreement. The current form is not what we need. A lot of people would say ‘walk away’ but this is not what Kerry feels is correct. We need to work it out. Been able to ride on logbooks – this could change. It’s the same people riding all the time. It’s important to protect the one star events – that’s where we get new riders from. Kerry wants an acknowledgment that we want some sort of representation which won’t have a financial impact on the rest of the members. Gary Tweedie –AERA Zone Liaison Unfortunately I will not be able to make the meeting on Friday Night. The only things that I have to report are; Track Preservation; Fiona Meller will be at the meeting with an update on the Draft Strategic Directions for Horse Riding in NSW National Parks and Reserves. Fiona’s Submission on Karuah.s m LOGO; Unfortunately Jo Weismann is not able to assist with this at this time so I have sent the original draft LOGOs to Neil Clarkson who is going to set up some examples for us to consider. At this stage I have not received these from Neil. Zone 1 – Greg Moore – Feedback Forum, Ride Surveys, Membership Surveys

Zone one have had approval from the SMC to run the Q60 on October 7th. Hawkesbury Council have carried over all fees for this event from the two cancelled events in February & March so there have been no additional costs. Arrangements are well underway for Careflight, Shahzada & Putty, the venue for the Zone Championships is yet to be decided.

Ride Surveys & Feedback Survey forms have been received for the Oakhampton Manilla Ride and one form for the State Championships. The consolidated results for Oakhampton have been forwarded to the ride organiser. The feedback received for new rides is of some benefit however for established rides there is little to no benefit as the participation rate is very poor and the comments are virtually the same and from the same people . I recommend the SMC consider a link from the Calendar to a Ride Survey Form for new rides in their first year and discontinue the current Survey format for established rides. I have attached the consolidated survey results. Zone 2- Melissa Attwell Since the last SMC we have had a ride at Tooraweenah which by all reports was a great success.

We have the Zone 2 championships to be held at Mudgee next weekend.

Zone two has submitted a proposal for the 2013 NSW AGM to be held at Manilla. This is attached and I have asked for it to be an agenda item for this week’s SMC. Please have a read so we can discuss your thoughts on Friday. Zone 4- Steve Roberts – Dispute Resolution & Disciplinary Process amendments

DISCIPLINARY MATTERS Clause 13(2) of the constitution provides that, where the SMC receives a written complaint, “the Committee may, in its absolute discretion, reefer the matter to the Independent Disciplinary Panel (IDP).” If the SMC determines that the complaint constitutes a dispute, rather than a disciplinary matter, it is handled through that separate process (which see). Where the matter is referred to the IDP, the following steps must occur and are to be verified as occurring by the Secretary and the IDP completing check lists. As the SMC cannot interfere with the deliberations of the IDP, there is no need for a portfolio person, it is simply an administrative task for the Secretary to send out the relevant correspondence and check lists to the IDP members and to complete, or hold and verify, a check list as the IDP reports completion of each step. Such check lists would include the following steps: Decision by the SMC to refer the matter to an IDP Selection of the IDP members by ballot from the pool Confirmation with all IDP members that there is no conflict of interest Despatch of all relevant correspondence held by


the SMC to the IDP members, together with copies of the relevant parts of the Constitution, flow chart describing the IDP process, pro forma notification and determination letters and check lists for the chairperson to mark as each step is completed and copy each step to the Secretary. A time line is to be notified Secretary to notify complainant that the matter has been referred to the IDP IDP chairperson to send notification letter to member (see pro forma), with a request to confirm receipt, that e-mail correspondence is acceptable, advising a timeline for a written response and advising that a hearing e.g. by teleconference, will be held to allow additional submissions verbally IDP chairperson to notify Secretary when the notification letter has been sent to the member IDP chairperson to notify Secretary when written response received and when hearing is to be held IDP chairperson to notify Secretary when hearing has been held IDP chairperson to notify Secretary when a determination has been made by the IDP and details of that determination i.e. a copy of the letter IDP chairperson to notify Secretary of any response from the member If member does not advise an appeal and matter is finalised, any penalty involving suspension to be notified by Secretary to all Divisions Secretary to notify complainant of outcome IDP chairperson to return all correspondence and copies of all electronic records to Secretary Secretary to file said records as directed by SMC, depending on whether any conflict of interest exists. Suggestions had been incorporated into documents that were tended for discussion. Zone 5 – Belinda Hopley – Horse Welfare, CS & TPR, Vet Liaison, Ride Reports- South Coast 26-2-12. 40,20k. Was a great, well run ride, good underfoot and marked well. Horsley Park 17-3-12. 40k. Was a good ride, but a bit boggy. Needed toilets and Marlee is stomping!! Oakhampton 24-25/3/12. 80, 40, 20, 5k. New ride put on at the last minute. Good track, good underfoot, plenty of water, variety, good marking. Riders loved the ride and were well behaved. Wandandian 24-25/3/12. 80, 40, 20k. An excellent and well-organised event. Cedar Ridge 7-8/4/12. 2 day 160k elev, 80, 40, 20k each day. An excellent ride, plenty of water and the track checked by a FEI official. The riders were very good with 182 horses over the weekend. There were 2 horses given RO’s – 14 and 28 days. NSW State Championships 28/4/12. 160 & 80k. Bec Hogan and her team have done a wonderful

job - everything had to be brought in. The track and marking were excellent and there were only positive comments on the track. There was a horse breakout the night before the ride that resulted in Virginia Blains’ horse being quite severely injured. CS/TPR- We are having a TPR school at Kambah PC on Sunday 23 September. It may also have a “getting started” component. Haydn has done his 3 rides, but as we are waiting on his report from Woodstock, Haydn assisted Graeme Birchell at Tooraweenah, so congratulations are in order!! He has also assisted at Cedar Ridge. Email from Sean Pollard regarding CS status. Has done the CS course in ’06 with Jeff and Kym Hagon, then Prov CS March ’07 Q60 (40/20k) with April Bonham, May ’07 Bendemeer (80/40k) with Jeff then July ’07 Rollands Plain (80/40/20K) with?? but was not a TPR. This has been done (Sonya has card). Couldn’t find any provisional reports done therefore I suggest one more full ride as provisional CS. Horse Welfare- EA MCP stewards – Steve, Haydn and Marlee have done the course - in addition to Jeff, Denise Trollope, Irene Malone and myself. This should cover the State quite well. There were 4 horses swabbed at the State Champs, with the riders taking the notification in their stride. Haydn is going to look after the EWS. I’ll send the vet/rider reports to him.

Other Stuff- Could the vet and CS/TPR lists get updated on the website please? Haydn is now an official chief steward and his kit was given to him by Belinda. General Business Sonya received the new computer. Gay said at Tooraweenah there were a lot of littlies in the social ride. Do little kids need to trot their horses out with their helmets on? Agreement that we would like them to do this.

Marlee discussed the Horsley Park Ride and the fact that there were riders turning up without their log book. Question: Is there a problem with this? Agreement we need to try and enforce this. The bigger picture is about identifying a horse. Agreement to put a notice into the newsletter – people need to use their log books. Gay to produce this.

There being no further business the meeting closed at 9.46 pm

�� A text box will pop up near the flag for the ride base.

�� Click on get directions ‘to here’.

�� Enter your hometown in the start address.

Click ‘GO’ and print off the map and directions. If you have a navigator in your vehicle the map coordinates are shown in the text box, but a word of caution when using a navigator to go to a map grid reference, navigators are programmed to find the most direct route (as the crow flies), and as you get close to your destination they sometimes want to turn you down a side road or even a forest trail.

Ride organisers To have a ride base added to the map, 1. Go to Google on the internet.

2. Select 'Maps' from the menu bar at the top.

3. With a map of Australia showing.

4.the curser (a little hand) on the area you're interested in, right click and select 'Center map here'.

5. Slide up the scale ladder a little.

6. Repeat 4&5 until you have zoomed in on the area.

7. Now select 'Satellite' to see an overhead picture of the area.

8. Put the 'Little Hand' on the gateway to the ride base, right click and select 'Directions from Here'.

9. A green flag will appear at the spot and a 'Get directions' box will appear in the top left corner.

10. If the flag is not quite right, click and drag it.

11. In the 'Get directions' box against flag 'A' will be the map grid reference for the spot chosen, it will look like ( -30.294007,147.498579)

12. Jot down that reference with the ride name and email it to me at ‘[email protected]’.

To check we have located the marker correctly, or if the ride base has been moved, zoom in on your marker on the Ride Bases Map as described above, switch to Satellite and check the position of the marker. If it is in error follow the procedure above and email me the details. Also run some tests approaching your ride base from different directions and note any anomalies, see the Shahzada text box for an example.

Logbook & Identification Procedures

A horse is a novice for a minimum of 90 days from the date on which it successfully

completes its first affiliated endurance ride and may only attempt four rides during

this period, ie if a horse successfully completes its first ride on 1st July, it cannot

upgrade to endurance status until after 28th September and may only enter four

rides during this period. There is no limit on the time it takes to reach endurance

status. Your horse can be a novice for as many months (or years) as you like.

When your horse has successfully completed 240 kms of affiliated endurance (not

training) rides, it can be upgraded from novice (blue log book) to endurance (yellow

log book) status.

Ensure the brands are clear. If not, have the horse re-branded or microchipped

(Refer to rule H5.2(a) - (b) ) and H5.3).

Have a vet complete the horse identification form (written description and diagrams)

and sign it. Identification and microchipping can be done at most rides, but it is

advisable to check with the ride secretary beforehand.

Complete the logbook application form and attach I.D. form, novice horse logbook

and the appropriate fee.

Please allow 10 working days from date of posting for return.

It is essential to retain a copy of the I.D. form and perhaps have it laminated for the

future.

PLEASE NOTE An Endurance Horse Logbook will not be issued unless a signed

Veterinary Identification Form is enclosed with the application. The I.D. in the novice

log book is NOT acceptable.

If there is anything that you are unsure of, please do not hesitate to phone me.

Transfer of Ownership Procedures

It is the responsibility of the purchaser of the horse to notify the State of the change in ownership details. It is important that the correct person be registered as the owner of the horse as this assists with the correct allocation of National and State distance and pointscore awards as well as identifying the persons responsible for the horse when disciplinary actions need to be instituted.

A transfer of ownership form must be completed and forwarded to the State, together with a cheque for $11 and the logbook.

Once the transfer of ownership form is received the logbook can be amended with the change in owners and the transfer verified by the Logbook Secretary/Registrar.

Procedure for Recording Change of Ownership

Transfer of ownership forms are to be made readily available to all members, preferably through the State Newsletters or upon application to the Logbook Secretary/Registrar.

Once a logbook, transfer of ownership form and fee are received the Logbook Secretary/Registrar will:

1. Record the ownership transfer into the logbook.

2. Verify the transfer.

3. Return the logbook.

4. Record the ownership transfer into the computer records of the State Division.

5. Keep a copy of the ownership transfer form and forward the original to the AERA Registrar.

Tie Up Your Dogs Riders are responsible for the behaviour of their support crews and friends. This extends to dogs associated with their camp, which must be restrained at all times, either on a lead or secured in a float or vehicle. The Chief Steward may disqualify a rider if that riders’ support crew causes disruption detrimental to the running of the ride. Refusal to restrain a dog (of any size) after being requested to do so by the Chief Steward, or an official of the Organising Ride Committee, may also lead to disqualification of the rider.
