Ride with confidence when you have an ATHRA club membership.
ATHRA provides members with great value and benefits.
Located at The Caves, North of Rockhampton riding and driving at The Caves, Glenlee, Alton Downs and Bangalee Beach areas with input from members more areas can be utilised. We also hold events for education at Nerrimberra School Grounds near Rockhampton.
Trail rides Commenced in December 2006 for very experienced riders to ride together on 3rd Saturday of each month at The Caves. Education Days were commenced in May 2008 for learners, inexperienced and non confident riders with experienced riders practising sporting events at The Caves Showground and moved to Mt Morgan Showground in Dec 2011.It was brought back to The Caves Showground for a few months in 2013. In April 2009 the first Horse Harness Trial Drive was held. This was held on Driver's request possibly every 2 - 3 months. Since 19/02/2011the rides have been called Fast, Medium and Slow Paced Rides.
SHAATRI was an inactive club with Members riding with Bouldercombe Club some days from 2014 to October 2017. 7th October 2017 Fast/Medium Paced Trail rides were recommenced in the Barmoya Area between The Caves and Yeppoon. In recent times we now reqularly hold trail rides/ drives for ridden and harness with the requirement that all riders and drivers must be able to trot safely in a group. As the riders needs in our club arise we wil add fast paced rides, novice paced rides and education days. We are a friendly versatile club that has been affiliated with ATHRA for 13 years to date. We sadly lost our founder Joan Hart who passed away May 2019, we will yearly hold a memorial ride at The Caves in July school holidays as Joans Memorial River Ride. We welcome you to come and learn more.
