JULY 2014 The Town Crier - Page 5 News from Berry Riding Club With lovely weather for riding, Winners at the Club Dressage Championships were as follows: members of the Berry Riding DRESSAGE LEVEL CHAMPION RIDER HORSE Club have been keen to get their WORKING EQUITATION CAROLINE MORLEY CHEEKY WHISPER horses out for some fun. Events PREPARATORY FELICIA MULLIGAN S. P. ROSE recently held include training PREPARATORY JUNIOR RACHEL HERON ROSE EDEN SCOUT days in showjumping, dressage PRELIMINARY KAREN HARRISON TARZAN and working equitation, which PRELIMINARY JUNIOR ZOE HUTCHINSON H.

CHAMELEON Saturday 7 June we held our Club ELEMENTARY CAROLYN HERON N.P.PUFF N STUFF Dressage Championships which MEDIUM CHARLOTTE CHAMBERS APH FABIENNE had over 100 tests ridden. ADVANCED KRISTEN HILL DONNER-VERSACE Once again, we have had to move our junior development clinic to the Camden Bicentennial Park as our facilities are too small for this type of activity. Equestrian sport is growing fast in NSW now that the shadow of Equine Infl uenza is well behind us, and it is at last being recognised for its huge tourism value. The new Equestrian Centre at Tamworth is already booked out for 47 weeks of next year as are Albury, Camden and the Sydney Equestrian Centres. We know that riders love visiting Berry and the township benefi ts from the fl ow-on economic purchases as riders not only fi ll their vehicles with fuel, but quite often shop in the village and take away food for meals. Our eventual move to Schofi elds Lane, south of the village will provide the club with a wonderful opportunity for expansion and hopefully attract much larger events to the area. Our future is still uncertain at the time of writing this report as the current grounds in North St have been sold to the RMS for the Berry By-Pass and we have been advised that we need to move off by November. We are working with the Council and RMS to fi nd a temporary location on which to continue our busy program and to store our large inventory of equipment. The club provides a wide variety of riding activities for horse owners of all ages and ability in the Illawarra and Shoalhaven and welcomes visitors from further afi eld. Follow our activities on our website www.berryridingclub.com Right: Carolyn and Rachel Heron, champions at Club Dressage Championships.
