Nelson Riding Club AGM - 16th
The club's AGM was held on Tuesday 16 April. Pizza and refreshments were provided and then we settled in for the "Have horse will travel" presentation by Naomi Alexander. Naomi shared her experiences and great photos of long-distance riding. Naomi told us how she got into long distance trail riding, how she prepares herself and her horse, where she stays and tips for how to get into trail riding. We were treated to photos of her adventures in the Muzzle and St James Stations, and other locations. For those attending there was lots of helpful information about preparing yourself, your horse and your transport for your outback adventures. If you're new to trekking Naomi recommends joining clubs and giving guided treks a go, getting to know experienced trekkers, and always asking questions. There is some beautiful country out there and lots of it is accessible with your equine partner. But remember that preparation is everything!
The AGM was well attended. Documents and reports from the AGM will be posted on the website.
The committee for the 2024-25 year includes some familiar faces and new talent. Details of the office holders and committee members can be found on Meet the Committee section of the website.
