The $500.00 fee includes all meals for riders as well as
Stabling and camping . Fence sitters are welcome at $100 per head / per day unless attending with a rider, Fence sitters are encouraged to join in with questions, observations etc.

Water Wheel Reining Classic Turns Pink!

The Goulburn Valley Reining Horse Association (GVRHA) is busily getting geared up to host the very FIRST ANNUAL WATER WHEEL REINING CLASSIC, 14-16th November, 2008, featuring the Maturity Event, at Tatura, in country Victoria.   The Maturity Event will see 3 & 4 yr old horses competing against each other.  This will be a natural stepping stone for horses straight out of the RA Futurity competing against horses that have only derbied for one (1) year.  The Maturity Event will set apart our Annual Show from other futurity & derby shows.   Not to leave out older horses however, an emphasis will also be placed on the Open Event.   GVRHA are also proud to announce that proceeds from our 'SR PRETTY IN PINK LADIES' & our 'TOUGH ENOUGH TO WEAR PINK OPEN' events, shall be donated to Breast Cancer research, and encourage & hope that Trainers will rise to the occasion by wearing pink in the Open Event.   With nightly entertainment, the drawing of 'HICKORYS RUF N READY' gelding raffle, an International Judge, Buckles on ALL events, not to mention the prize money, the WATER WHEEL REINING CLASSIC is shaping up to be a great Reining Show!
