WOOROLOO MAKES WELCOME RETURN FOR WA RIDERS

Wooroloo Leader Equine CCN 22-23 August 2020

A bumper entry of over 350 combinations descended on Wooroloo Prison Farm for the Wooroloo Leader Equine CCN (22-23 August). Held on the prison grounds by kind permission of the Department of Corrective Services, the volunteer committee of Perth Horse Trials Association was widely praised by competitors for working incredibly hard to pull together a COVID-safe event in a short time frame.

UPCOMING EVENTS


With the latest easing of restrictions in Phase 4 by the WA Government, we have now reviewed and updated the following documents to support the gradual restart of the equestrian activities in WA.


We all want to get back to normal life as soon as possible. Ensuring our members, their friends and families remain safe and prepared is critical to achieving this.

One of the ways we can all play our part is to get the Australian Government's COVIDSafe app. While downloading the app is entirely voluntary, it has been highly recommended by both the Australian and WA Governments to assist our health professionals and help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Equestrian WA is encouraging all members to consider downloading the app to help keep our community safer.







EWA gratefully acknowledges the support of the Department of Sport and LotteryWest.
