This months rally will be in the form of a FORMAL GYMKHANA.
For those that haven't had a go at a formal gymkhana don't be daunted this is the perfect way to get some experience in a friendly and supportive environment.   Please note there will be a $10 cost to cover the ribbons etc.
Below are a few pointers:

Format and approximate schedule - subject to unforeseen changes

• 7am - set up
• 8am - Line up and gear check
• 8.30 - Gymkhana begins with riders split into their 4 groups. (Please note that as this is an in-house gymkhana we will ride in our usual groups, however in a normal gymkhana of any sort you ride in your age category).
• 10.00/10.30am approximately - morning tea - this will be once the presentation, rider class and youth handler classes have been completed
• 11am - Sporting and jumping classes begin.  You will rotate with your group through the various activities, please listen carefully for instructions at morning tea time.

Stables
As we discovered last muster the fantastic new stables are at a premium!  Please email moggillnews@gmail.com if you wish to book a stable and you will be allocated a number corresponding to a stable.  It is your responsibility to ensure the stable is clean when you leave and all manure is placed on the muck heap.  Stables that are left unclean will be noted and the responsible person will be on stable cleaning duty before and after rally the following month!
