NEW SEC PA CARAVAN - WE NEED YOUR HELP!

If you’ve competed at the SEC before, you may have seen the PA caravan which resides at our venue. The caravan has provided many years of faithful service, however it is now looking a bit worse for wear both inside and out.

In order to restore or replace the caravan and improve events held at the SEC, we will be applying for a grant under the WA Labor Community Improvement Fund. Projects committed to under this fund will receive capital grants in the first term of a Labor Government. Applications can be supported with pledges by those in the community. Therefore, we need your help!

If you would like to support this cause, please email reception@equestrianwa.org.au by 4:00pm this Friday 13 January so we can add your name to the pledge list. Please include your full name, phone number and postal address. Thank you.

HELMET STANDARDS

If your helmet is approved EN1384 (the old standard no longer approved by EA) BUT ALSO approved under another standard (PAS015, ASTM F1163, VG1, etc.) then it is "good to go"! Have fun riding in 2017 and don't forget to #RideWithUs on Social Media to get all the updates. MORE
