CURRENT NEWS

01.03.2010

Hi everyone

You may be aware  that our club is running the NSW State Quarter Horse Championships at Sydney International Equestrian Centre at Horsely Park on the 14th to the 17th of May 2010.
To make this show an even better one we need sponsorship at all different levels, we have packages as low as $50, $200, $300, $1000 and $5000 for show naming rights.
This is an opportunity to be involved in an exciting show, and show your support of our club and our wonderful horses.
The show caters for everyone, Quarter Horses, Paints and Appaloosa's for Youth, Amateurs, Open, AmQHA and spectators.
It would be a wonderful help if you could pass the sponsorship information onto anyone you may know that would be interested in being involved, or just be involved yourself.
I thank you for your help and look forward to seeing you at the show.
I have attached the sponsorship packages information and form plus the programme.
 
Kind Regards
Natasha Webster


IMPORTANT NOTICE

The Brumby government has released the new Prevention of Cruelty to Animal regulations to be in force for the next 10 years.

Part of these new regulations relates to “Use of twisted bits on horses”.

The AQHA Rules & Regulations accept the use of twisted bits, as per the current rule book, therefore the AQHA, at this time, have taken the following stance on this matter: All AQHA approved events held in Victoria – it is the duty of the organising committee to notify all competitors that this new legislation has come into effect by announcements and signage. It is the responsibility of the Show Manager, Gear Stewards & or Gate Marshall to inform any competitor that is going to compete in a mouthpiece that is twisted at the point where the device is in contact with the bar of the horse’s mouth, that this is against the law in Victoria and that they will not receive any support from the AQHA in any matters that arise from them using this type of bit.
As this new legislation has only just come into effect and not many people would have been informed, the AQHA asks that organising committees be tolerant in allowing competitors time to change bits if necessary. Carol Ricketts Manager Australian Quarter Horse Association
