President’s Report Welcome to the August newsletter.

Happy birthday to our equine friends. All horses

born in the southern hemisphere celebrate their

birthday on August 1 as a means of standardising

horse-related (mostly sporting) events. This date

is based on the breeding season of horses, so

horses born in the northern hemisphere celebrate

their birthday on January 1. So I hope all our

horses got an extra carrot and cuddle Monday.

Kitchen duty helpers for this rally are V. Arm-

strong, King and Carman Families and set up

helpers are Thomas, S. Fisher and Morton Fami-

lies. Please arrive at the grounds at 8.15 and re-

port to Kerri. She will direct to where and how.

Important things to

Bring

• Theory Books!

• Cards!

• Arm Band!

• Badges!

• Horse food/water bucket

What a lot of rain we have had over the

last few months, however the ground has

most definitely needed it. Along with the

rain come mud though could everyone

please remove their boots on entering the

clubrooms this will keep the cleaning to a

minimum. Also all this mud sticks to our

horses also so please spend a little extra

time brushing your pony before presenting

to gear check this rally. Mud under the

saddle blanket and tack can be irritating

and cause sores and poor behavior in

horses so please that little bit of extra time

spent grooming will be valuable. Your

horse will thank you.

Please also ensure you bring the following

to each rally

• Theory Books!

• Cards!

• Arm Band!

• Badges!

• Horse food/water bucket, horses are grazing

animals and therefore need to eat regularly.

They also need to be offered water after work.

See you all Sunday ☺

Mt Duneed Show

Jumping Trailer

We are raising funding to purchase a custom made show jumping equipment trailer for use by both the use of the Mt Duneed Pony Club and Adult Riding Clubs. (across is an exam-ple of a trailer we want made) We have received quotes and currently fall too short of the required funds despite vigor-ous fundraising efforts by the club. This trailer will enable the clubs to be able to use their show jumping equipment more effi-

ciently and save on the current manual labour and time that goes into place to get all the equipment out for rallies, clinics and competi-tions. The equipment is stored in a shed which is quite far apart from the enclosed show jump-ing arena. This trailer will help complete our show jumping courses to enable us to run more competitions with ease and raise more money to commence rebuilding the cross country course. if you could make a donation to this wonderful jumps trailer that would be great you can follow the link and it tells you what to do.

Article : Top 11 safe horses facts you probably didn't know ?

• Coconuts - Of course we only feed them the flesh without the hard shell.

• Celery - All parts can be feed. Since celery has a very distinct smell not all horses will go near it.

• Pineapple - Again, only feed the fresh. Horses really enjoy pineapple because of the sweet taste.

• Snow pea - Crunchy and sweet. Don't feed your horses the leaves.

• Mango - Flesh and sink is ok but remove the stone/seed.

• Turnip - Feed whole unpeeled. Don't feed the leaves.

• Blueberries - Only feed the berries.

• Pumpkin - Peel off very thick skin and limit the amount of seeds.

• Watermelon - Cut it in pieces without the think skin.

• Peaches - Make sure you remove the stone/seed.

• Cucumber - Whole or cut to pieces.
