📢 SAVE THE DATE !!!

While the Minlaton Show is taking a break this year, the same dedicated crew is proud to keep the Stockman’s Challenge alive, this time hosted at the SYP Riding Club grounds.

Expect the same great challenge but with more freedom beyond the oval and a return to a more traditional Stockman’s Challenge style. Think a more natural outlook, no pool noodles.

More details will be coming soon as the committee finalises plans, but for now lock it in.

📅 September 19th–20th
We can’t wait to see you there!

A huge thank you to Bill and Barb Willoughby for making the trip down and holding a clinic at our grounds over the weekend. Luckily the weather bureau were as reliable as a chocolate teapot and mother nature delivered some absolutely beautiful weather for us.
Thank you to all of our 11 riders, without your support we couldn't bring events like this to little old Minlaton. To our fence sitters, we truly appreciate your contributions which go directly towards ongoing club projects and improvements to the grounds. We hope you all gained something from Bill to go home and work on.
And finally, a big thank you to our organisers, cooks, cleaners, and everyone who lent a hand behind the scenes to bring it all together.

Next month we'll be back on the trail with a "Scrub ride with a twist" finishing with a bbq. Day memberships always welcome if you'd like to come see if the club's for you.

"Great horseman aren’t made in perfect conditions. Anyone can ride in the sunshine, real progress happens when you ride through the rain."

Now keeping this in mind, might pay to pack a rain coat as they're fore casting showers for Saturday!! ☔️ We'll have a couple gazebos set up to help keep our fence sitters dry as well as the fire going so we can all warm up over lunch. 🔥

The club will have Pumpkin soup and Potato leek and Bacon soup with crusty bread available to purchase.

See you there
