Event
Description
This is a “BYO
everything camp”, so you will have to ensure that you bring sufficient
food & supplies such as nibblies etc. (and refreshments) for humans, as
well as all your horse and camping needs. BYO electric yards. A BBQ with
Forrest Club members will be held on Saturday night, so BYO meat and food
requirements. The Terminus Hotel is
within easy walking distance from the grounds at 2-4 Station Street Forrest,
open from 12noon to 11 pm, for those wishing to dine out on Friday evening. I have tentatively booked a table for 20
persons for Friday night. If you wish to
attend, please advise when you nominate.
Camping
Fees $15 per person per night (including your horse).
RIDES: An easy casual ride will be arranged on Friday
afternoon. A more strenuous ride with
saddle bag lunch on Saturday, with another ride on Sunday, prior to lunch. Each
ride will be led by an experienced Forrest Club member, the starting times and
details of rides to be determined and advised on the day. It is hoped that we will be joined by members
of Forrest Club. Please note some of
the terrain is steep and riders/horses will need some degree of fitness. It is generally very good underfoot.
Horseless Muster thirty
minutes prior to ride out time as determined each day.
VENUE: Forrest
Horse Riding Club Grounds situated at the Forrest Recreation Reserve,
Yaugher Road, Vic 3236. This venue is
gooseneck & truck friendly, water, toilets and showers available. Please refer to directions from Magpie (on
