Australia: Endurance ride in Bago Forest
Wauchopegazette.com
20 Jul, 2011 11:59 PM
AN 80 kilometre endurance horse ride will be held in the Bago Forest later this month.
The ride - called the Bago Bush Ride - is organised by a local committee under the auspices of the NSW Endurance Riders Association, with all proceeds going to support the Riding for the Disabled Wauchope/Port Macquarie Centre.
The ride will be held on July 23 and 24.
The event comprises an 80 km endurance ride, a 40 km training (with a 60 km elevator option) and a 20km social ride. Entrants in the 80km ride must be members of NSWERA and qualified, however the other events are open to any rider.
Endurance riding is a family sport attracting riders of all ages. Riders under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
All rides are run under strict veterinary parameters. Again, the ride base will be the Wauchope Saleyards /Pony Club grounds following forest trails with a section through Bago Winery. Ride organizers would like to express their gratitude to both John O'Brien and Jim Mobbs for the use of their properties.
This year we have a celebrity rider, well known ABC radio personality (and horse lover) Fiona Wyllie.
Pre-ride vetting will commence at 1pm on Saturday. 20km entrants, however, may choose to vet from 7am on Sunday with an 8:30am start.
Recently two of the ride committee members tasted great success at the NSW State Championships. This 160km event was held on the June long weekend over challenging terrain at St Albans in the Hawkesbury Valley. Phil Coleman, riding Alnotarj Statistic and Ros Ryan riding Rainbows Reach Scout placed 2nd and 3rd respectively in their divisions. Competitors had to successfully pass the six stringent veterinary checks held throughout the duration of the ride. This was an outstanding achievement considering incessant rain resulted in treacherous conditions. Gary Thomas was another local rider to successfully complete.
Meanwhile members of the RDA Wauchope/Port Macquarie centre competed in the Regional Mounted Games Day hosted by the Manning Great Lakes RDA Centre earlier this month.
Robyn Coombes, RDA Coach for Wauchope/Port Macquarie Centre and Ride Secretary for the Bago ride, took two horses down to be ridden by some of our riders, who travelled down with their families.
It was a great day and our riders and horses won lots of ribbons on the day competing in the Flag Race, Barrel Race, Keyhole and Bending Poles.
For further details of the RDA fundraiser, Bago Bush Ride, contact Robyn Coombes on 6585-6761 or Ros Ryan on 0418 848 019.

South Africa: Fleet barefoot feet at Fauresmith 2011
Perseveranceendurancehorses.comLast week saw the biggest event on the South African endurance calendar take place: the SA National Championships at Fauresmith in the Free State. It’s a 3 day race over 201km, in freezing, sub-zero conditions, which attracts riders from all over the country as well as overseas. This year a record number of horses were on the starting line… 406!
The Eastern Cape Endurance Riding Union entered three teams for the event, and two of their members had the honour of being selected for the ERASA national teams. Top ranked EC rider, Laura Seegers from the Midlands Club, was on the national Standardweight team, and Werner Bosch of the Hofmeyr Club was on the Heavyweight team.
Laura – founder of Perseverance Arabian & Endurance Horses in Graaff-Reinet – was riding PSV Jedi in his first Fauresmith, and the two of them flew around the course in 8h36 to take 5th place! She was the first rider for her team to come in, and her fast time helped them take 2nd place.
All three of the Eastern Cape’s own teams placed well in their categories: the Young Riders came 3rd, the Young Riders Development Team came 5th and the Standardweight team came 4th. Our Young Riders did particularly well. Jenna Masterson of St Francis placed 6th, Megan King from Graaff-Reinet – on another barefoot horse, Moya, – came 8th and Liezl Botha of Tarkastad 10th; with Ashley Gower from the Perseverance stud coming 17th on PSV Mauser in their first ever Fauresmith.
