PONY CLUB REINERS
Our club president, Warwick Schiller and committee member wife, Robyn, took a huge step in grass roots development of reining on July 8th.  The Schiller's attended the 60th Annual Young Pony Club Camp in Young, NSW and demonstrated the sport of reining.  Warwick took the microphone and described the objective of the sport and the maneuvers that make it up. During his explanation, Robyn rode her horse Smart Like Smart, and showed them what he was talking about, (demonstrating some of the maneuvers bridleless).  There were over 180 pony club kids, instructors and some parents watching on.  You know that it went well when the feedback that was heard included, "I never thought I'd ever see the perfect horse, but today I did."  The current pony club president offered Warwick an instructor job at next year's camp, as the reining instructor.  Now that is grass roots development!

"SLIDE TO THE NATIONALS "
At the latest ACT & SNSW CRHA Committee Meeting, it was unanimous that the club host  "Slide To The Nationals" a two day show on the 27 & 28 September to take advantage of those who want to show during school holidays and want to get their futurity horses out before heading to Tamworth.   Plans are just beginning, but there will be beautiful buckles (hopefully Bob Berg Buckles) on larger classes and the club will offer a Futurity class!  CSU Wagga has a great indoor pen with plenty of warm up so the venue will be ideal - close enough for Sydney-siders and Victorians alike.   For more info, please ring Warwick or Robyn Schiller  0408 253 110 or 0408 258 788.
