VENUE:
Meeting at 11 McDougall Drive Magpie. Please drive around the roundabout as if leaving the property but turn right into the paddock. It is easier than trying to turn left into the paddock as you drive in. Parking space is adequate, but please park with others in mind.
This will be a leisurely relaxed ride of approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. Suitable for barefoot horses, the ride will involve short stints of road with wide verges, and single file tracks through pine plantations. It will be slightly undulating. It is intended that we will have lunch at the venue after the ride, with plenty of comfortable shelter and hot water available for tea and coffee. Ample water for washing horses and toilets available too. Please arrive about 9.00 am to register and saddle up for a 10 am (sharp) ride out.
