This year we will take part in a Navigation Ride on
Saturday the 19^th.  There will
be a dinner and entertainment that night, (the $250 fee is inclusive of all
costs), Other rides will include beach rides to coffee shops and cafes, some
hilly tracks with beautiful scenery, plus more, a totally different riding
experience to our local rides.  Details
of each day’s riding will be announced on the previous evening.  Each day we will be joined by members of the
Sapphire Coast Club, led by Tony Hart. Please bring clean weed free hay for
your horse as it is difficult to obtain locally.

 

Positions on the camp will only be allocated after payment of the $250
fee is confirmed.
