The Benalla and District Horse Driving Club is again scheduling it's Multi-Activity Weekend around the Victrorian School Holidays. This year it wil be held on the weekend before the the AFL Grand Final at the Oxley Recreational Reserve. Oxley provides a relaxing and picturesque environment.
This is the 8th year we are holding the annual event which is very popular as a warm up to the competition season. Drivers get to train and practice in a a non-competitive environment. We get participants with horses ranging from Shetlands to Clydesdale Crosses from singles to pairs etc.. The ever popular Mike Thill will has been booked for training sessions, so gewt in early if you want lessons. Lessons will be taken from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. Remember lessons don't have to be restricted to dressage or horse movement and control. Mike will be happy to teach you how to attack a cones course or marathon obstacles as well. Just ask him. Cones and the 2 marathon obstacles will be available for use.
Full details are not yet available but you can expect to have dressage tests judged for personal feedback, a cones course set up for practice and this year a navigation drive. If they want to, there is a possibility for some to participate in a King or Queen of the Cones competition.
On Friday night there will be a barbeque. Saturday night will have dinner catered for by Ros Knight and Neville Wright who have done a terrific job at the past 2 events. We can expect some light entertainment and perhaps an intersting speaker as well as the obligatory raffle.
Club members are asked to contact Bev to see how they can help on the weekend. Many hands make light work. As in the past we hope to ensure a friendly and smooth running event.
