Event Description

VENUE:

The venue is at John Brady’s property at LOT 72 Grubbed Road, Enfield. There is ample room for camping with horses, a communal paddock is available if you do not wish to erect your own yards. Members are welcome to attend for the dinner only, and/or ride on either day, but nominations indicating your intentions are required for catering purposes. Hot showers and toilet facilities are available, as well as a sheltered gazebo for socializing and the DINNER. The Club will provide Saturday’s NIGHT’S dinner and Sunday breakfast for those who camp over. Dinner arrangements are yet to be finalized but we are thinking of a camp oven roast etc., full details will be provided as soon as available. The club welcomes ATHRA members from other clubs who have ridden with us during the year. Please remember to bring a camp chair for the dinner. NOTE: All dogs must be suitable restrained at all times.

EVENT DETAILS: 

Members (and families) can arrive at the venue on Saturday morning and set up camp if staying overnight. We plan to organise a mid-afternoon ride of about 2 to 3 hours, depending on member wishes, to be followed by drinks and nibbles before the sumptuous Christmas dinner. If you plan on riding on Saturday please be saddled and ready for the pre-ride briefing and registrations. Participants are required to provide all personal food and horse feed etc., other than the Saturday night dinner and Sunday’s breakfast. There will be a very easy ride conducted on Sunday morning before lunch and packing up.
