VENUE:

Meet at 7 Forest Court Enfield with ample room for safe float parking. Travel south along the Ballarat-Colac Road, turn left into Clarkes Road, take the first right into Inglewood Drive, and then travel 1 klm to dead end & turn right into Forest Court. Parking is on the U-shaped drive, (please leave room for others to park), or on the wide nature strips. This is a very quiet court with minimal traffic and is quite safe.

RIDE:

This is the first NN ride from this venue, but the terrain and riding tracks are great. We will be riding on bush tracks and at times through the bush in areas we do not usually access. This will be a leisurely ride suitable for barefoot horses. Please note there is opportunity to trot and canter but the ride will be mostly at the walk. Water is available for horses, hot water provided for tea and coffee, but BYO everything. 

Please arrive about 9.00 am to register and saddle up for a 10 am (sharp) ride out. Horseless Muster @ 9:30 am - Ride Out Time @ 10.00am sharp.

LUNCH:

Lunch back at floats for those who wish to partake and socialize.
