BIOSECURITY ALERT: JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS

Japanese encephalitis (JE) has recently been detected in Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia. There are no current detections in Western Australia.

JE is an acute mosquito-borne viral disease that can cause reproductive losses and encephalitis in susceptible species. The disease occurs mostly in pigs and horses but can also rarely cause disease in people. The virus does not present any food safety issues from eating pork meat or products.

SHOW HORSE TRIPLE CASH BONANZA & SPOT PRIZES

Following on from the popularity of these two initiatives last year, the Show Horse Committee will again be conducting the Triple Cash Bonanza and Spot Prizes at its shows in 2022.

The Triple Cash Bonanza is a random draw for a prize pool of $1,000 for all eligible EWA members. To be eligible for the Triple Cash Bonanza you must attend and compete at the Autumn Pageant, the Winter Gala and Horse and Rider of the Year. Please note that competing in a Newcomer event does not qualify as not everyone has a Newcomer.

You are eligible if you own any horse or pony which has competed at all three shows. It does not have to be the same horse or pony.  You are eligible if you ride and compete at all three shows even if you do not ride your own horse or pony.  Your name will go into the random draw at the Show Horse Awards function to be held provisionally in November and you could win the top prize of $500, or one of four prizes of $125.  Come along and support all our shows to be in with a chance for this great prize draw.

The random draw for Spot Prizes at the three shows last year was also a popular concept. One of our Committee members prepares these and they are drawn on the day of the show.  Listen to the public announcements and you could be the lucky winner.

FURTHER EXPLANATION ABOUT EVENTING & COMBINED TRAINING

It has been determined that riders may compete on the same horse or pony in Eventing (WAYER, Brigadoon) and in Combined Training, subject to compliance with the discipline Rules, at the upcoming EWA and Saddles Plus Interschools Equestrian State Championships in April 2022.

It is recognised this is a deviation from previous years. EWA has consulted with other States and this change brings the WA competition into line with the position taken by those other States.
