Most members drove at the Munro Cup at Witwood and one of our members, Anne Robertson, was the Cup winner. Our members recorded both the fastest and the slowest times in the cones, but everyone had a great time. I recommend the Munro Cup for a fun weekend.
Most of the club members drove at the Marrar CDE, or helped in some way. It was also a fun weekend, and a good warm up before the Australian CDE Championships in South Australia, where Kath Cole did very well winning her class.
Sharon Beattie hosted a Pleasure Drive at Temora in April, which helped Peter McIntyre introduce his new pony to water, something it had not seen much of before then. Early in May a Driven Dressage day was held in the Rosemont indoor arena, followed by Dressage to Music. Kath Cole had a great time dressing up as Annie Oakley and driving to the tune of ‘Folks are Dumb Where I Come From’ whilst Cath Felber gained much confidence as Scottish bagpipes played as she drove. Jesse Parramore and dad Marty looked very stylish dressed in black, as the music from James Bond played. It was fun but I was glad it wasn’t part of a CDE competition.
A new venue for pleasure driving was tried out on May 9 in the Penrose State Forest. The drive started from the Southern Highlands Club Grounds at Bundanoon and participants followed Sharon Beattie in her ute, showing the way up the road and into the forest. Those who took part were Chris and Bill Gardiner, Jan Murray, Warren Ricketts, Ray and Carol Roach and Elva McPherson. Kay Rose was there too to help out with lunch.
Reedy Creek’s next big event will be the Marrar Endurance Drive, to be held in the first week of July, so as not to clash with the Federal AGM and Conference. Entry forms can be found on the NSW ACDS website.
