Septmebr 2014 Mountain Pony Club Newsletter

Hi Everyone,

I must thank Wendy for filling in for me and writing last
months message for the Womma, while I was away
enjoying warm weather and sunshine. I hope everyone
enjoyed the August rally including guest instructor, Noel
Vears.

This month we will again have a guest instructor, Maria
Platt from Tilling Hill Equestrian Centre. Please make her
feel welcome for her first attendance at Mountain.

I would also like to thank Kiara Wanner, who has taken
over the job of Womma Editor. We appreciate your time
and effort. The Womma is an important aspect of our club
so it is great to have it continue in your capable hands.

Echunga Earthmovers hope to complete our arena this
week and get the top surface put down. Lets hope for
good weather so that it is ready for our rally next weekend.

Our ODE is not too far way, so please put your name on
the jobs board or speak to a committee member if you have
any questions. We will have more info in the lead up.

A quick reminder that the balance of fees are now due, and
Police check applications need to be submitted.

I would like to wish all our Dads a very happy Fathers day
for Sunday. Have a great day and enjoy watching your
children enjoy their sport.

Regards,
Kirsty Miller

Dont forget to send photos/results/items for sale etc. to Kiara Wanner kiara.wanner@hotmail.com so you can

Notes:
For our September rally we will be holding a bacon and egg sandwich breakfast for Fathers Day.
Each dad will receive a free sandwhich and others are welcome to purchase one. These will be
available from the kitchen before gear-check in the morning.
Just a reminder that our $10 family lunch fee only covers those family members listed on your
membership form, any extended family or visitors will be charged $5 for lunch. Please inform Emma
if you will have visitors attending our lunch at any rally so that they can be taken into account for
catering purposes.
Please make sure that when you RSVP for a rally that you include who will be riding and how many
other family members will need to be catered for.
See following page for information about the kitchen roster.
If you are planning to attend a rally on a horse you haven't ridden at Mountain before, you MUST let
us know prior to the rally day as you will need assessing prior to being allocated to a group.
Please note that Womma contributions (results, photos, adverts etc.) will from now on need to be
sent to Kiara at kiara.wanner@hotmail.com

KITCHEN ROSTER
Karinya Cup Points
At the start of each rally riding members are given a gear-check and are at this time awarded points in relation to four
categories; Rider, Horse, Gear and Punctuality. These points go towards the team Karinya Cup and the Individual
High Points Trophy, both awarded annually at our AGM.

To gain full points for each category, the horse and rider should present as follows:
Rider: To present in neat and clean full pony club uniform, including beige or navy jodhpurs, polished boots,
tidy helmet and no jewellery.
Horse: To present free of dirt or sweat marks, tail to be brushed, eyes and nose to be wiped and hooves oiled
(not blackened).
Gear: To be clean, well oiled and maintained, and bits to be thoroughly cleaned.
Punctuality: Present mounted, lined up at the required gear-check time. *HINT* Be there before the gear-checker!

These requirements are designed to teach riders about caring for their horses, gear and general presentation for club
events and competitions. We therefore encourage parents to get the kids doing the cleaning!
