After the much needed rain and the heavens promising more on the day, the riders could not be deterred; with some travelling down from Nambucca.
The colourful new jumps and plants added a professional feel for both horse and rider and set the scene of a promising future for the Club.
Our course builder, Olympian Denis Pigott, gave the green light and the event was underway.
Our first rider on course was Brendan Smith on Blake; something for him to remember!
Our local junior rider Sophie French won the highest point score junior and a very lucky Alice Smith won the fantastic lucky door prize of a weekend for two!
The day was a great success for riders, horses and organisers alike.
A very special thanks goes to all the volunteers for their help.
We are looking forward to our next event on Saturday March 15.
All new members are welcome.
