We had a much more pleasant day weather wise than our February day as it was not nearly as hot.

A total of 25 Riders participated in learning dressage tests for upcoming competitions, there was cavaletti work, jamboree practice, sporting and bareback.

We had Zone 5 chief instructor Jude Alston accessing two members of fellow clubs Abigayle Dewick (Quirindi) and Kylie Dampney (Narrabri) for their Instructors Certificates.

Jude had seven girls from our club form a troop and help Abigayle and Kylie complete their certificates.

Thank you to Olivia Guest, Saige Mitchell, Olivia Dowd, Annalise Martin, Lucy Jackson, Matlida Betts and Matilda Snow for your patience and assistance.

We would like to thank all our parents assisted running the March rally day.

Our two encouragement awards went to Harriet Snow and Ella Hancox.

There is a lot going on over the next few months with many Zone 5 Competitions, Gunnedah Show, our own Greg Swain Memorial Showjumping and Dressage day and Blanch Trophy Day to get ready for.

We have our next Rally day on Sunday, April 2, commencing at 8.45am.

We also will be hosting our monthly general meeting on the same day at the completion of the rally day schedule.

Our members competed this month over two weekends hosted by Quirindi Pony Club.  Quirindi’s Blanch Trophy Day was on March 19 – Joslyn Bard, Rebecca and Samantha Craig competed for Gunnedah and were very successful in many events.

The next weekend saw Gunnedah members compete at Quirindi Pony Clubs Dressage, Combined Training and One Day Event Weekend.
