As I write this it seems as if the entire country is burning. Sydney itself is ringed by fire and has been for weeks. Our RFS members are becoming exhausted as are all the other members of our emergency services. No idea what we would do without these selfless people. We can’t thank them enough for what they do. Hopefully the rains will come, sooner rather than later. A couple of our rides have already been cancelled because they have been affected by the never ending drought. Others may follow suit because of the fires. On a more optimistic note, there is a great ride calendar for 2020 with some new rides being listed. The AGM is in Bathurst this year. The SMC puts a lot of effort into organising the AGM, awards presentation and dinner dance so hopefully many of you can attend. Remember there is a cut off for the dinner. You need to pay your money to the Secretariat before 10 February 2020. It should be a great night. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this newsletter over the last 12 months. Thank you to Animal Focus, for the never ending supply of photos. Thank you to Henley Design for continuing to produce the cover.

President’s Report

With the 2019 season now completed, it is time to turn our attention to the upcoming AGM to be held on the 22nd February at Bathurst.

The AGM is the members’ time to have their voice heard, please come along and take part, have a listen and have your opinions heard. I am sure there will be some discussions that may be of interest to you, if you are not there your opinion won't be heard.

Also anyone thinking of standing for the committee vacancies please step forward and raise your hand.

Following the 2019 AGM we will celebrate at the annual dinner dance, awarding successful recipients their prizes from the annual point score after which those enthused can dance their hearts out.

Finally I would like to thank my committee for all the hard work and dedication throughout 2019 and hope to see those up for re-election consider another term on the SMC.

As I write this report, sadly many of our members are being affected by the bushfires encircling the country. I really hope that no one suffers from too much loss and if there is anyone that has been affected please let us all know, I’m sure everyone would be willing to pull together and assist.

Cheers Tony

Track Preservation Report for the NSW ERA AGM Fiona Meller

As I write this report, all around the state savage bushfires are burning, and entire National Parks are being consumed by fire. I hate to think what condition our favourite riding areas will be in, and I don’t like to speculate on whether parks and trails will even be reopened in time for the endurance season. One side effect of the monstrous fire season has been to delay the release of the South-East Wollemi Horse Riding Plan for public comment. Some of you may remember me talking about the original first draft which was appallingly bad. This park is my main training ground so I was particularly vocal in my criticism! They were also proposing to use the document as a template for future recreational planning which would have been very bad news. I’m happy to say that they took the feedback on board and completely rewrote the document. The final draft is much more horse-friendly and will allow us to focus our submissions around proposals for specific trails. Unfortunately I can’t say much more until it is officially released, but we should not need a big campaign of opposition, just targeted and informed comments from ride committees and local riders who know the trails. Another success has been the eventual outcome of the wilderness pilots which ran in Kosciuszko, Deua, Monga and Mummel Gulf wilderness areas. The pilot scheme has been converted to ongoing permission for horse riding to continue in those locations on those specific trails. The outcomes of the monitoring demonstrated negligible impacts from horse riding, which helps support our position when we ask to be allowed to ride in other areas. Charlie Gauci and I continue to make written submissions on draft Plans of Management on behalf of NSWERA to promote the horse riders’ point of view, support positive changes and oppose restrictions on horse riding access. Our task is becoming easier as attitudes change within the National Parks & Wildlife Service. We no longer have to argue for the general principle of whether horses should be allowed in National Parks at all, as this is now widely accepted. Instead we simply have to present a case for why horse riding is appropriate in each specific park and location. This does not mean however that we should become complacent. There are still pockets of hostility and ignorance regarding horse riding, and occasional plans of management which ban horse riding on specific trails or in whole areas for no legitimate reason. Progress picked up again after stalling under the previous State Minister for the Environment who approved barely any management plans during her time in office. At the time of writing, her successor Matt Keane has already approved at least 21 new Plans of Management and Amendments: x Bago Bluff NP x Bouddi NP x Coorabakh NP amendment x Crawney Pass NP x Curracabundi Parks x Deua Catchment Parks x Dowe NP x Horton Falls NP x Jenolan Karst Conservation Reserve x Khappinghat NP x Morton SCA x Mount Canobolas SCA x Murrurundi Pass NP x Palm Grove NR x Somerton NP x Thirlmere NP x Trinkey SCA x Weddin Mountains NP amendment x Wallis Lake Reserves

NSW Endurance News January February 2020 Page No. 3

x Wondoba SCA x Yurammie SCA

Many of these contain significant access improvements for horse riders. Some of the most noteworthy are: Khappinghat NP: was originally proposed as a Nature Reserve which would have prevented any horse riding except on public roads. Horse riders successfully persuaded NPWS to have most of the park reclassified as a National Park with horseriding allowed on the network of management trails. Coorabakh NP amendment: permits organised groups to ride along Coopernook Forest Way and Flat Nellie Trail creating a connecting link between Lansdowne State Forest and Comboyne State Forest. Weddin Mountains NP amendment: reversed a ban on horse riding to allow organised groups to use two trails which combine to form a 20 km loop. This was the result of representations from the local pony club and trail riding club. Berlang SCA adjacent to Deua NP: horse riding permitted on several trails. Curracabundi Parks: a further wilderness pilot established, available to horse riders using the Bicentennial National Trail or staying at Karamea Homestead with their horses. These examples highlight the fact that we have successfully educated NPWS on the importance of loop rides; links between riding areas especially where National Parks are adjacent to State Forests; and a more nuanced response to provide for horse riding instead of a simple black-and-white “permitted or banned” approach. My 8-year terms on the state-wide National Parks & Wildlife Advisory Council and Planning Committee have ended. While on those committees, I was heartened to see submissions made by current or former NSWERA members, and sometimes those submissions made a significant difference in convincing NPWS to make horse-friendly decisions. It was also very satisfying at some of my final meetings to find the large majority of committee members supporting my position, with the extreme greens outnumbered. A refreshing change from always being the “dissenting view”, which was the case for quite a few of the earlier years! I am still a member of the Blue Mountains Regional Advisory Committee for NPWS, which will help me to stay up-to-date with what is happening in National Parks. As always, I encourage you to make friendly contact with your local NPWS staff and offices, and stay informed about public consultation around Plans of Management for your favourite riding areas. It really makes a big difference.

SCENIC CITY STARTER 2020 15/16 February 2020 While drought and a horrendous fire season have put a blight on the end of 2019 for many of us, B7 Events hopes to cheer you up with the first endurance event of the year, the Scenic City Starter. We will be offering a 40 km intermediate ride and a 20 km social ride on Sunday 16 February. The 20km will be an elevator, so people wanting to do only 10 km can turn around at a marked point and receive a completion. The ride will use our base on Cotter Road, next to Mt Stromlo, just 18km from the centre of Canberra. The 40km ride will start at 6 am or 6.30 am, depending on the weather and all entrants must vet on Saturday afternoon. The 10/20 km will start at 7 am or 7.30 am, vetting can be done on Saturday or on Sunday morning. The course will cross Cotter Road and take riders along the Bicentennial National Trail with beautiful views to the Brindabella Mountains, hopefully also getting a breeze. The 40 km has no huge hills but is not flat and is quite nice underfoot although unless we get serious rain the ground will be hard. The 10/20 km will follow a portion of the same course. The 10 km will be largely flat and easily achievable for barefoot horses. We have chosen the course to avoid the bikes which frequent Stromlo Forest Park however, horses will have to cross Cotter Road twice so some degree of traffic experience is needed. Riders may also encounter the odd walker or runner, dogs (on leads) and bicycles as we have to share trails. If you are not intending to ride, but would like to and are able to come along and volunteer as a penciller, runner or on a checkpoint on the day, please let us know well in advance. More volunteers means more ride options, a better experience for organisers and riders, and more rides in future. Catering has yet to be determined. Weston Creek with a major shopping centre is a four minute drive from the ride base. All entries must be made in advance through Trybooking, late fees may apply after Sunday 9 February. Search Scenic City Starter. Refunds will be provided as per the refund policy which will be on the Trybooking entry. Details will also be notified on our Scenic City Facebook page and NSWERA website. Entry fees. 40 km - $65 plus day membership for non-members of NSWERA 20 km- $45 plus day membership for non-members of NSWERA.

BUMBALDRY Endurance Ride 7th and 8th of March 2020

Bumbaldry Endurance ride (LERC) are running 40, 20, 10 and 5km distances on the Saturday followed by 20, 40 and the main event 80km distances on the Sunday. Come and join us for a weekend of riding in the beautiful and bushy hills of Bumbaldry. The course will be travelling over quiet dirt roads and sandy trails, through open paddocks and shady bushland, through some rocky picturesque country; arriving back at a spacious tranquil ride base. We have designed the course with novice horses in mind; however it will not be an easy course by any stretch. It will be its usual thinking type course, with the country around here rising slightly or falling slightly as a norm. There is one decent hill to climb or come down, but there is ample resting time in between. Our whole ride structure is planned to be the same as last year, pending of course no hiccups on our plans. The country of Bumbaldry can go from beautiful and sandy to rocky and rough underfoot in a heartbeat. Riders need to ride to the conditions and be aware of same. We have in the past designed Bumbaldry as an old style bush ride, emphasising the fun to be had. There will be goat tracks where you need to tuck your knees in; there will be get off and lead tracks and of course many drop bears or quirky signs along the way to keep you smiling. It is extremely dry here at Bumbaldry so nearly all of the dams are empty and the creeks dry. Ample water will be supplied on course but we ask for riders to be diligent in their usage in camp as ALL water is carted into base and to our water stations on course. No smoking will be permissible on course. Jade and Miles Heller riding in the 10km There will be portable toilets on site, but no showers. event in the past We hope to have catering available for the weekend, this is still TBC. Our rides rely heavily on volunteers and we are forever grateful to them for donating their time to come and help. Please remember to thank them for being there for you! Pre noms/entries will be online, watch the LERC or Bumbaldry Endurance Ride Facebook pages or contact [email protected] or ride secretary Jo Davis on 0433 576 354 for further information. Don’t forget to have your registration of a current endurance horse and membership paid for 2020, and as of Jan 1st PIC numbers are compulsory. Sponsorship opportunities are available and required. If you or your business would like to sponsor any of our LERC rides then please contact a committee member. Sincere thanks in advance. On behalf of LERC, please come along and enjoy yourself. Tina Walker.

Mt Lagoon Ride Preview 28th and 29th March, 2020 We hope you're planning on coming to magnificent Mountain Lagoon Endurance Ride on the 28th and 29th March, 2020. We will be having 5km, 20km and 40km rides on Saturday and the same rides again on Sunday along with an 80km ride. We have changed the course for 2020 and taken the big hill down to Tootie Creek out and instead the shorter rides and the second leg of the 80km ride out along the Long Ridge fire trail which is a much easier, flat to undulating track. The course for the shorter rides is achievable for novice horses. There are no big hills and the course will take riders around beautiful Mountain Lagoon where the trees will be showing their stunning autumn colours making it a very picturesque ride. The 80km ride will follow this track on their second leg so riders will be able to enjoy the autumn show in the daylight. The 80km ride is suitable for fit novice horses and is an excellent ride for improving your horse’s fitness for the endurance season. The 80km ride starts at 5am and the first leg is the same as last year and will travel 8kms down Mountain Lagoon Road to Comleroy Road T intersection where you will turn left and travel 2kms along Comleroy Road to a checkpoint where you will be turned right down Gee Arms North Fire Trail which is a lovely soft gently undulating track. Then travel to a turn around and return to Comleroy Road and turn right and head down to the T intersection of Upper Colo Road and Comleroy Rd and turn left and ride about a kilometre along upper Colo Rd.to a checkpoint where you will be turned left travelling past the fire station and up Ward's Track to Mountain Lagoon and return to ride base. The second leg of the 80km ride is the same course for the 40km ride where you will travel along Mountain Lagoon Road to a checkpoint where you will be turned left down Little Wheeney Creek Fire Trail to a turn around and back to Mountain Lagoon Road. On returning to Mountain Lagoon Road you will turn right and travel back along Mountain Lagoon Road for 7kms and turn left into Long Ridge Fire Trail to a turnaround. Your will then travel back through Charlie and Lee-Anne Gauci's beautiful property and back to ride base. The 20km ride will be the same as the last half of the 40km ride and travel along Mountain Lagoon Road and turn right to Long Ridge Fire Trail to a turnaround and travel back to ride base. The 5km social ride will travel around Sam’s Way and Mountain Lagoon Road and is an easy picturesque ride. Our vet team consists of the always smiling and helpful Darien Feary as our head vet, the lovely Georgia Ladmore will be our treatment vet and Jen Lugton from Hawkesbury Equine Veterinary Centre is our third vet and Tom McCormack will be bringing the electronic timing system to record the vetting times for each ride. We will have buckles for all successful riders in the 80km event and rugs and prizes for the first three completions in each division. There will be trophies and medallions for the shorter rides and also lucky ride bib prizes and encouragement prizes. The Mobile GG Spot will be at our ride base on Saturday for any of your horse needs. They have electrolyte pastes, Tuff Rock and other health care products as well as scrapers, buckets halters etc. Check out their website on http://www.themobileggspot.com.au. They are very supportive of our endurance rides and have helped many a rider out with last minute needs. By popular demand our catering will once again be done by Snax On Trax who provide lunch, dinner and breakfast as well as outstanding barista coffee. Please support them so they will return next year. Gotta love a good coffee! Once again Jo Arblaster from Animal Focus will be our photographer on course. There's lots to love about our Mountain Lagoon Endurance Ride so come along and enjoy the wonderful tracks and the camaraderie of our endurance family. Look forward to seeing you in March 2020.

Tooraweenah Endurance Ride 13—14 April 2020. Tooraweenah Showgrounds.

Saturday 13th : 7km and 20km social rides starting at 1pm pre ride vetting at 11am. Sunday 14th : 80km starting at 5am $TBC 40km starting at daylight aprox 6 am $TBC 20km starting at 9am $TBC $5 camping fee per rider per night.

Please come and help support the township of Tooraweenah who are really doing it tough in these dry times. We hope by the time the ride comes around it will be extremely boggy (fingers crossed)!! The course will utilise previous tracks with nil bitumen or traffic. This is a great ride for novice horses to concentrate on the track and use up energy on the hills. The track has some of the best views of the Warrumbungle Mountains and the drought stricken farming country. We will have a canteen running all weekend by the local CWA and we ask that you help support this organisation as they are supporting our farmers with financial and fodder aid. Pre ride will be at 6pm at the Mountain View Hotel with meals provided and they would also really appreciate the support of riders over the weekend. Every little bit helps.

Successful Bonham boys at the Qld Quilty

Hot showers and toilets available. Some firewood available but please bring more if able. We hope to see everyone come and we will do our best to provide on track water, hay and carrots. I wrote last year in the pre ride of how dry and drought stricken the countryside is and how the locals are really doing it tough. Well I would hate to say there has been no change, but we would love for you to visit and ride and bring some activity to town. The showgrounds have had some updating and we look forward to putting on a great event for you. Thanks heaps Sonia Bonham 68 485345, 0428 550909

The Q60 is on again in 2020 11th and 12th July, 2020 Because Sydney region endurance riders [Zone One] ran the NSW State Championships in 2019 we didn’t have the man or women power to run the Q60 as well but now we’re back!!! We have our dates approved for our 100km elevator on the 11th and 12th July, 2020. This is perfect timing for your horse if you are thinking of going to Shahzada either to ride the 400km marathon or the 120km mini marathon. You will be training on similar terrain as Shahzada but the hills aren’t as tough! We have altered the course for 2020 so instead of the first leg of the 100km elevator riding up Ward’s track in the dark, the first leg will travel up Comleroy Road then turn right into Mountain Lagoon Road for 8 kms to a checkpoint. You will then travel back down Mountain Lagoon Road and turn left into Comleroy Road. Travel 2kms and turn right down Gees Arms North fire trail to a turn around and back to Comleroy Road. Gees Arm North is a lovely slightly undulating fire trail where it’s easy to move along. When you come back to Comleroy Road you will turn right and travel back to base. The 40km intermediate ride will be the same track as the first leg of the 100km elevator ride. The second leg of the 100km elevator will go up Ward’s Track to a checkpoint at Mountain Lagoon and then back down Mountain Lagoon Road and once again along Gee Arms North and return back to base. In previous Q60 rides, we have gone up Ward’s Track in the dark so by riding up Ward’s Track in the daylight it will make the ride much less challenging and riders can enjoy the views which of course they didn’t see in the dark! The third leg of the 100km elevator will be the same as the 20km ride and travel along Upper Colo Road to a turn around and back to base. A relatively flat final leg for the 100km ride. Riders can choose not to elevate after the second leg and will still receive a buckle for their 80km completion. The ride will once again be held at Colo Lodge. Tracee Males has been very busy liasing with the neighbours of Colo Lodge and they have agreed to allow our ride to travel through the back of their properties which will mean a big reduction in the amount of tar that riders have ridden in previous Q60 rides making it a much safer and more pleasant start to your ride. We will also be having a 5km, 10km and 20km ride which will travel along the Upper Colo Road to a turn around and back to base. This is a mainly flat ride which travels along the river and past farmland making it a lovely enjoyable and social ride. Jane, from Colo Lodge will be doing the catering providing dinner on Saturday evening as well as a canteen during Saturday and Sunday. Sonia and Peter from the Mobile GG Spot will be at the Q60 with all the essentials and goodies for you and your horse so please support them. They are a wonderful support to endurance rides and have helped many a rider out with last minute needs. Once again Jo Arblaster from Animal Focus will be our photographer on course. Zone One have a very busy 2020 planned. Our first ride will be Mountain Lagoon Endurance Ride on the 28th & 29th March and then in June the Watagan Mountains Endurance Ride is back on! Cody Holloway has organised a committee and ride base for the return of the Watagan Mountains Ride. The date has been approved for 20th and 21st June, 2020. Great work Cody! Three weeks later will be the Q60 and then in August the pinnacle for Endurance Riders is Shahzada. A lot of volunteer work goes into planning and holding rides and we want riders to support these historic rides so we can keep them on the NSW endurance calendar. Check out our website at sydneyregionenduranceriding.com.au We know you will have a good time and look forward to welcoming you in 2020. Sydney Region Endurance Riders Association

COME TO OUR 40th

SHAHZADA

This will be a huge year! By the time you read this, the fires will be over and as soon as we are able to get in to all the Shahzada tracks, we will be calling on everyone to help. The 40th Shahzada will be held in St Albans from Monday, 24th August to Friday, 28th August, 2020 and all riders should be Endurance Rider status ie have completed 3 x 80km rides and be upgraded to that status. The horse must be 5 years old and have an endurance logbook complete with current registration label. The Mini Marathon of 120km over three days will be held from Tuesday, 25th to Thursday, 27th August… the rider needs to have completed 2 x 40km intermediate rides and have full or intermediate membership and the horse needs to be five years old and have a novice logbook. Give Shahzada a go…..there is nothing like the feeling of achieving this goal, establishing a fantastic bond with your horse and being part of the 40th Celebrations…..theme for dress up on Thursday is to be announced but think 80’s music and make plans for a huge week!!!! Shahzada is not like any other ride…..so much encouragement with a great vetting team and everyone helping you to succeed. More updates soon but for now, go to the Shahzada website www.shahzada400.com and see what happened in 2019. There will be a 2020 Shahzada 400 Endurance Ride Facebook Events Page and a Shahzada fb group as well as Instagram. Contact Shahzada secretary, Sue Todd for information on [email protected] or phone 0263 797218 or 0429 905038 and leave a message or text. Read this inspiring story by past Shahzada Vet, Darien Feary – 2019 was definitely an amazing year.

Shahzada 2019 was the year I got to ride. After 3 years of watching from the vetting area (which I also love), I had the privilege of riding a seasoned, proven Shahzada horse around the best ride ever. Not only that, I also had my sister Clare to show me how to do it. So, this is a story of being extremely fortunate. Yet I write this as St Albans is burning, and as the hard-working Valley community are fighting for their properties. If only that freezing rain we rode in on Friday would come back. It really is a special place, and a special group of people that make this unforgettable ride happen every year. Completing Shahzada 400km was only ever a childhood dream that I never actually imagined would be achievable now, in my 40’s. My first unsuccessful attempt at Shahzada was back in 1992, during the days when we rode in Akubra hats and military saddles (or bareback, Murray Fox!). Searle Johnston and Kristen Proudfoot were my teachers back then. Searle introduced me to the world of endurance back when I was 10 years old. He was tough, and I just had to hang on…literally…as he showed me how to train horses. We may have been known as the ‘Bendora girls’ back then, but the experience Searle gave me determined the trajectory of my life – horses were always my love, but endurance riding gave me confidence, self-worth, and my aspiration to do something with my life that involved two things; horses, and making a difference somehow. Like all endurance riders, I experienced tie-ups, colic, and even the unfortunate sudden death of one of Searle’s horses underneath me while I was training it. I was a teenager, but I remember these events vividly because they affect you. Well, I had no understanding of anything back then and now really value the education veterinary medicine has given me. Ironically, vet school in Sydney took me away from the very thing that made me want to become a vet. I missed horses and riding like my right arm. Reflecting on that, it makes sense to me what wise women have said; “you can have everything in life, just not all at the same time". Fast track 27 years later, and I am far from riding-fit I can tell you! Riding 400km on a horse that will only

NSW Endurance News January February 2020 Page No. 16

trot (if you ever want to stop her) was an experience for my body that it will never forget! The star of my Shahzada story is the mare Avita. Ava belongs to Clare and Rob Catlin. I rode her through her first 80km ride 10 years ago and she is exactly the same horse as she was back then; with a fierce determination, strength, and stamina that you better go along with. There is no disagreeing with this lady. She knows how to get the job done. I have huge respect for her. As Rob Catlin reassured me after his successful Shahzada marathons riding her, “Ava will pull your arms out for 3 days, but you will be loving your forward moving steed on Thursday and Friday!” How true that was. At the end of 400km, I would have happily gotten on and ridden out the next day, and the ones after that. I think Ava might not have loved that idea as much… Highlights of my Shahzada: The Hills: I loved the hills more than the flatter sections. My favourites were Careflight and Short Wellums – so pretty. Prestons and the Steps were great challenges and the road out to Prestons was stunning. Friends: What a great camaraderie between riders; pulling into check points to share hay and water and chat with familiar faces was just the best. So was riding with my sister Clare, Emily Streckfuss, Stu Lymbery, Kylie Jonkers, Sue Todd, Levi, and my buddy for Thursday and Friday; young junior star Modena Foster! The ride community: Every time we entered the vet area we were met with smiling, encouraging TPRs, vets, and ride organisers (I even got spoilt with swigs of Haydn’s girly lattes ����). The business of getting your horse through the week is serious, but the “git-up” was an hilarious mood-lightener. Kym Hagon’s horse and Haydo dancing duo were particularly entertaining! Our camp: All Shahzada endurance riders look after each other, encourage each other, and there is nothing like a camp full of all-round top horse people – which is why we were the winners of the team event! It was a proud moment to be part of this team of horseman: Gavin Peacock, Rhys Norman, and Mitch Ravallion. No achievement is without its challenges. Even before the ride started Rob Catlin gave up his horse for Clare to ride, and still let me ride Ava. A selfless gesture that meant we had a strapper AND a chef, but Rob missed out. Seeing Clare vet out, followed by other great horses and riders, drives home the reality that Shahzada is no average ride. I can now truly say from experience that Shahzada is, and always will be, the Ultimate Test of horse and horsemanship. I understand why people come back to do this ride every year. I will never forget it. Darien Feary

Quilty 2020 News by Amanda Rayner 18-19 September 2020

The Tom Quilty Gold Cup committee comprises 25 WAERA members that are experienced at their respective portfolios and are dedicated to making the event a success. Many of the members have experience at previously hosting this National event. Formal meetings of the committee commenced in November 2018 and continue monthly to plan the event. Several of the members live in Collie or close proximity to the town allowing local knowledge of the countryside and townsfolk to be extremely beneficial in the organisation. Improvements to infrastructure and facilities at the Collie Racetrack venue have been a work in progress. Water pipes were laid to the centre of the race track prior to the State Championships for camping and a fully automated reticulated sprinkler system established in the vetting area. The vet ring has been top dressed,levelled and seeded with kikuyu since the State ride in September. The person in charge of the vetting area was a golf course green keeper so we will be hoping for a golf green surface come Quilty time. Further improvements to the race track include re surfacing of the wash bays ,a new swab box and new toilet block with floodlighting. Extensive advertising of the event has already begun with the event facebook page operational ,website launched, local newspaper articles distributed and a team of advertising crew ready to promote all sponsors and supporters of the event. An extensive budget has been made and is updated as work progresses. The sponsorship team have been exceedingly busy applying for community and local grants before the end of the year and their hard work is paying off. Merchandise is also now available for purchase on the website. Now that the ride season is over it’s been time for a bit of relaxation . The annual spring race day Collie Freo Cup was run from the Collie race course on the 26th of October. Held on the same day as the Cox Plate the six meeting card even featured The Tom Quilty Collie handicap over 1100 metres. Racing dates back to 1901 when the track was situated on the banks of the Collie river. The present site held its first meeting in 1983 to celebrate the Centenary of Collie Coal. The attendance was 4000 strong ,

WA committee members. nowadays the crowd is around 2000 people with everyone still enjoying a good day out with very much the feeling of a picnic race meet. Members of the Quilty committee attended the Collie show on November 16 manning a promotional tent on a stifling 40c day , a record in the 100 year history of record taking in the town. The stall looked very colourful displaying photos, WAERA merchandise and information regarding our great sport.Committee members had an engaging day with the local dignitaries and the local community. Over the summer months the Quilty committee will continue to beaver on with its many diverse job descriptions. Please remember to check the Quilty webpage and Facebook page for updates.

Box Hill Endurance Arabians By Sonia Bonham. This year has been a whirl wind with battling and surviving drought conditions and dust storms like we have never seen before. The only grace and break from the truly awful season has been to get in the truck and drive to an endurance ride. This sport has been my saviour and our family’s fun times away from the reality of hungry stock and failing crops. We aimed at the beginning of the year to make a holiday to the QLD Quilty with the kids Sam Duff and Charlie Bonham’s two awesome mares, Box Hill Pegasus and Box Hill Hussy. Nothing was stopping us and with very well planned training and enthusiasm we did it and had so much fun on the way and over the event week. It was just such a great time with wonderful friends and all the kids. The boys aged 15 and 13 tackled the 160km without me!! with such maturity and competence. Their horsemanship skills were amazing and the decisions they made out on track really helped them to complete the ultimate test. It is so amazing to see all the junior riders taking such good care and loving and building relationships with their horses that not many people can experience. We need these juniors to keep our sport alive and from what I see there are some super amazing young people in our sport. Our family has been involved in endurance for 44 years running both the Sofala rides and then Tooraweenah. It was such an amazing and proud moment when the Box Hill Arabian team won the unrestricted teams event. The team consisted of three Box Hill bred horses and our stallion Aloha Zulm . Kate Pilley riding Zulm and Caroilne riding Box Hill Jackpot made up the team with Sam and Charlie and they did us proud. It is very special to have been breeding quality horses all our lives and then to have it pay off at this level is just such a thrill. All four horses were fed Harbison feed and all four riders rode in Mackinder saddles. It is also interesting to know that the boys both rode in MWT and HWT divisions but this is not recognised because of their Junior status. I know this is a little late but we would really like to thank the QLD Quilty team for giving us some of the most amazing memories that we will talk and laugh about for years to come.

2019 MATAR STABLES BULLIO CUP REVIEW

It’s hard to believe that 12 months has passed since the running of the first Matar Stables Bullio Cup. The time went by so fast and now we’re planning for the 2020 event. The Canobolas Endurance Riders Club wanted the 2019 event to match all the values that were reflected in its inaugural event. First and foremost was that everyone enjoyed themselves. This meant that no matter what event they entered or whether they were successful or not, everyone felt equally welcome and valued. We wanted the FEI events to blend seamlessly into the AERA rides, with no differentiation between officials and requirements for each event. Ultimately, we wanted the ride to showcase Australian endurance riding at it’s best. This meant having the good quality buckle that reflected the efforts of completing either the 120km and 80km ride, as well as rewarding those who were competitive in their events by providing a prize pool worthy of an elite ride. This prize pool was boosted substantially by the fully sponsored A1 Horse float to be drawn from all the successful 120km riders, both FEI & AERA. This float was won by Gary Weiss who was visibly overwhelmed by the luck of the draw. The generosity of A1 Horse Floats of Londonderry was truly amazing, and we ask all endurance riders to consider them when wanting to buy a new float or recondition their old floats. Riders came from all over Australia, Dubai, France, New Zealand, UK, China and Hong Kong to take part in all the events, including the 40km Intermediate Ride. The course was technical in design, taking riders through the Canobolas State Forest with its undulations and some good climbs, and then into the farming country owned by Newcrest Mines. For Emma Clinton riding Rosemont Pathfinder the most part, it was good underfoot and all who rode all the in the 20k social at Bullio. events respected the course for its opportunity to ride tactically Animal Focus in order to complete. We are proud to say that yet another wonderful ambassador for our sport won the Perpetual Bullio Cup. Last year saw Sarah Lymbery win the inaugural Bullio Cup. This year, Noni Seagrim on her lovely mare, Honey Bee won the trophy, as a 120km ride, in a time of 7hrs 4min. She also was awarded 1st Middleweight and the Middleweight Best Conditioned Horse Award as well. Honours for the FEI 2* Open ride went to Akmed Pshunov on Anglesea Gabriella from Qld in a time of 8hrs 39mins, with our 2019 Tom Quilty Gold Cup Champion, Kahlia Maher, riding Abbeywood Zsarina taking line honours in the 80km 1* event. The FEI 2* Youth ride was won by Mognild Eerkens riding Sbara Magnum. The FEI 1* Youth was won by lone participant, Talyn Nix riding Homeleigh Mountain Khalid’s Komet who rode a very well thought out ride. The AERA rides were well contested as the 120km Heavyweight division was won by Queenslander Mark Nimmon riding Abbeywood Le Tigre , the Lightweight Division by Angela Hawks from Tasmania on Arinya Park Indira; and the Junior Division by Modena Schofield and Flemingo SS. The 80km No Frills AERA ride saw Jennifer Caslick and A’Landell Kazade take out line honours, with Sonia Bonham riding Box Hill Sapphire, 1st Heavyweight, Victoria Bice and Oso Ngaire 1st Lightweight and Levi Robinson riding Karumba Beamish as our 1st Junior.

No ride can possibly be successful without the input of all the volunteers. We had over 60 people help us to run this ride. They were out on course, handing out water, lollies, sponges for strapping and helping riders. They were in the vetting ring, on the timing tables, keeping the white board up to date, manning road crossings and gates, taking your entries, completing the data entries … in fact name a job and they were there for us. In an official capacity, Neil Clarkson, Tom McCormack, Lou McCormack, Robyn Parnell, Haydn Fisher, Deb Symington and Takako Nakao and many others who managed the problems that surfaced and handled it in their stride. We were fortunate to have one of the most experienced veterinary panels that could be assembled, headed by Dr Prawit Archanai from Malaysia. Not only did he take great pleasure in vetting our elite riders, but he possibly took even greater delight in vetting the little kids that rode in their first 5km ride without being on the lead! So much joy! Integrated into the timetable of the week was a seminar organized by the Equestrian Australia Endurance Committee. This forum featured experienced riders, vets and administrators in the sport of endurance. Topics included training, feeding, common problems encountered, chiropractic issues, veterinary perspectives and how to choose a horse that suits the sport. The success of this forum shows that participants are

These are the current TPR’s who have TPR’d from 1/1/17 to 1/6/19. Please remember to retain currency you are required to TPR at one ride per year. A lapsed TPR can be reaccredited by a Chief Steward who will ascertain that the TPR is up to date with AERA rules and is able to take the heart rate and respiration correctly. If the CS is satisfied that the TPR is up to date, the CS will make a note of the TPR’s name in the CS report and mark it passed. Please ensure your name is on the CS Ride Report. When you have accumulated 20 full days of TPRing you are issued with your own vest, stethoscope and thermometer.

Please contact Belinda for TPR’s in your area to assist at your ride.

Any queries contact Belinda Hopley. P – Prov TPR

Notice Dogs must be restrained at all times. Due to dogs being found running loose in increasing numbers at endurance events, it has been resolved that riders are to be disqualified, if their own dog or a dog belonging to their camp is found not to be restrained at all times during the full duration of an endurance event, i.e. from the opening of the ride base to participants until its closure. All chief stewards have been instructed to take action, enforce this rule and report offenders. A ‘no dogs’ policy may be introduced, if offences against this rule continue to occur.

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. Jacky Barlow, NSW Endurance Riders Association (02) 4938 0081 109 Sandy Creek Rd Mt Vincent 2323
