Entries are open.
Rounds 4/5 ( final rounds) of the CCC series 9-10 May.
We will be holding the dressage on the infield of the trotting track where the surface is so much better. There will be some clean yards to put horses in if camping.
PADARC will be catering for brekkys and coffees sat and sunday along with Kerry’s popular little caravan for lunches and coffee on Saturday and PADARC will run a BBQ lunch on Sunday.
When arriving and looking for a parking spot Please leave the area in front of the trotting stables clear. PADARC is working with The harness club members and we need it kept clear Saturday and Sunday mornings for parking for the trotters. They are hoping to be finished by 8am when we should be starting our dressage and they will come back again after 4.
Hope to see you all on the 9/10 May.
Cheers and safe riding

🐴PADARC COMMITTEE🐴

A massive thank you to all who attended our AGM on Monday night. It was so lovely to see so many new and familiar faces.

Thank you to Maddie & the team at Cove for offering your space and catering for us.

To the 2023/2024 committee, I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your dedication and hard work. Your commitment to our club has not gone unnoticed, and I truly appreciate the time and effort each of you has contributed.

It has been wonderful to see how our efforts have positively impacted our equine community this year. Thank you for your support, and the positive energy you have brought to our club.

The aim this year was to deliver as much diversity and opportunity to our members (and non members) and I think we have achieved that and more.

Thank you to all who supported our club, being members, instructors and those from other clubs. All who participated in events and lent a helping hand. Our successful year could not have been possible without you all.

To the new committee, I wish you all the best as you embark on this new journey together. It’s an exciting time, and I have no doubt that your unique talents and perspectives will lead to great achievements and will continue to provide great opportunities for our members and the wider equine community.

I am very excited to welcome and congratulate our new committee for 2024/2025.

President - Mark Appleton
Vice President - Helen Clark
Secretary - Katrina Hartwich
Treasurer - Shaun Clark
General Committee - Tanya Daniel, Shez Danby, Emma Waters & Brooke Palmer

Thank you all for stepping up to help keep our club running 🐎

All the best,

Brooke 🌻
