Reedy Creek Equestrian Club

Last updated January 2012
Marty Boyce: The Long Weekend in October saw Reedy Creek host a One Day CDE at the home base at Laggan. A good roll up of 13 competitors were there for the event held in blustery yet mostly dry conditions. All in attendance were happy with the day as a warm up for the Witwood Challenge at Bungendore. Thank you to Sue Plath for once again judging the dressage and providing valuable feedback for all competitors.
Witwood saw a good turnout of Reedy Creek members, with great results,. John Moyes and Gail Bain won their classes. Kath Cole, Marty Boyce and Jess Parramore had mixed results but still had a great time and gained valuable experience.
On October 20, the club had a day at Bob Pierce’s Clydesdale Stud, driving and then exploring Bob’s extensive collection of vehicles, as well as admiring the new foals. A wide sweeping cones coujagbeattie@yahoo.comrse was set up and all members had a great time ‘racing’ the clock and eachother. We were very pleased to welcome our new members and their wonderful horses – Gail Bain and Amanda Taylor.
A Dressage Day, with Yvonne Wood judging, was another successful event for the club. Yvonne’s feedback was much appreciated and members are putting into practice the advice/tips from Yvonne, with good results.
Gail Bain, John Moyes and Kath Cole competed at the NSW CDE Championships at Marrar, with Kath earning second place in the Novice small
pony class, driving Reggie. Gail, Kath and Di Murray were recruited for the NSW team on the day and of course they won the sash! Well done!
Jess Parramore was absolutely thrilled to receive an invitation to spend the day with Boyd Exell and Max Pearce recently. He helped harness a team of four and groomed for Boyd while he put the team through its paces. It was a wonderful experience for Jess, and he learnt a great deal. Many thanks to Max and Cathy for their kind invitation.
John Moyes, Kath Cole, Marty Boyce, Jess Parramore and Kylie Boyce drove Avanti, Cashie and Effie over to Binda from Laggan recently to meet up with the Goulburn Club for a lovely drive around the local area. It was unfortunately only a brief drive as the weather was not kind. The trip home from Binda was very wet, with drivers and grooms very happy to see the home stretch. The horses did not seem to mind the rain, however.
The Club would like to wish Kath Felber a speedy and full recovery from an illness that has seen her hospitalized in the last couple of weeks. Our thoughts and best wishes are with Kath and Peter at this difficult time.
