EWA TWILIGHT SERIES – 19 JANUARY POSTPONED TO 9 FEBRUARY
Due to the extremely hot weather forecast in Brigadoon this weekend the EWA Twilight Series has been postponed to Saturday 9 February. The welfare of the horse is paramount and with a predicted forecast of 40°C in Brigadoon we feel the risks to horses competing are too great to hold a competition on Saturday afternoon. We thank all riders, officials and volunteers for their support of the event.
Entrants for this weekends competition have three options moving forward:
-
Leave your entry the same and entries will be moved to February
-
Adjust entries (adding/removing horses and/or classes) by emailing SaraBotten@equestrianwa.org.au
-
Scratch entries to receive a full refund - this can be done online or via emailing SaraBotten@equestrianwa.org.au
Also please note:
-
DRESSAGE TESTS – The EA Dressage Tests will now be the B tests as we are running the event after 1 February.
-
START TIME – To avoid any further postponement due to extreme heat the start time will now be 7:00 am with the event finishing by approx 11:00 am
-
HELPER DUTIES – those who elected COURSE BUILD 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm the course build will now be FRIDAY 8 February 8:00am-9:30 am. If you chose this duty for the first event and unable to attend it for the second event this please let me know and we can find an alternative.
-
JUMPING CLASSES – we have added a 110cm class due to multiple requests for this
New entries will be welcome and the event has been re-opened on www.nominate.com.au As we are limited in numbers we do request current riders inform us ASAP if they are not planning on competing on the 9 February to enable others to enter.
