SEC STABLE FEES

The increase in SEC stabling fees are now in effect as of 1 July 2017. This is a result of EWA's need to comply with City of Swan and Swan River Trust planning regulations regarding the removal of all manure and used bedding from the SEC site. Stable fees for EWA members will now be $20 per day and non-members $40 for the first day and then $20 for additional days.
