Hi everyone,

With the warmer weather finally rolling in (and with it the rain today), it’s time to dust off the boots, brush off the mud and get together for a relaxed spring catch-up!

We’re hosting a low-key Spring Social Ride & Shared Lunch to kick off the new season. There’s no pressure, no competition, and no fancy gear required—just a great opportunity to get the horses out, enjoy some fresh air, and catch up with fellow club members.

Event Details:

Date: Sunday Sept 13th

Time: 10am - 1pm

Location: Montana Arena

Format: Mounted socializing / Casual ride on the grounds, in the arena and some small jumps will be set up followed by a shared lunch

What to Bring: Your horse (optional if you just want to come for a chat!), a fold-out chair, your favorite beverage and a plate to share.

Cost: $15 per horse to cover arena fees, yards available booked directly on the Montana website. Maybe you would like to bring your youngster or nervous horse for an in-hand experience!

Whether your horse has had the winter off and needs a gentle warm-up, or you just want to hang out with other riders without the stress of a full event, we’d love to see you there!

Please RSVP by Wednesday 9th so we can get an accurate head count.

To do so please reply directly to this email with your name and how many horses you will be bringing and please make payment of arena fees to the PARC account.

Looking forward to seeing you and your horses!

Hi, Everyone!
I wanted to thank everyone that attended our AGM Saturday and make it a huge success. It was such fun to get together, hold our AGM, chat about our ponies and welcome new friends. I am tickled to announce we have two new general committee members, Lynda Gordon and Stacey Dodd. Although, sadly we say goodbye to Nat Waran and Lucy Priest. We would not be where we are today without their incredible contribution - thank you!
And a huge thank you to Kintail Equine for their time Saturday. The presentation was both interesting and helpful in dealing with the array of questions we all had about our ponies.
Don't forget to sign up for the Cowboy Challenge practice day at the Equestrian Park this coming Sunday 5th. We had originally posted that start time was 1pm but we have moved it up to 10am. I hope that doesn't inconvenience anyone! Registrations close Thursday 2nd. To register email [email protected]
Looking forward to 2027 and a year of fun!!
