A club for riders of all ages

Horse riders of all ages are now welcome to join Finley & District Horse & Pony Club.

Traditionally catering for young riders, the community run club made the decision to welcome adult riders into the fold about two months ago.

Committee member Stacey Ware said is was based on the level of interest from riders of all ages to use the club’s cross country course, which is considered one of the best in the district.

“The course sits on about 20 acres, and the land is used solely by the club,” she said.

“It is located off the Newell Highway, right next to the Finley Showgrounds.

“The jumps have been redeveloped in the last three years, and are suitable for everyone from grade six riding level to grade one.

“We’re often told our course is fantastic, and members can use it at any time.”

The facilities include fully fenced show jumping and dressage arenas and a full cross country course.

Come and try opportunities are offered.

The club hosts monthly rallies from February to December. They are usually held the first Sunday of each month, but may be moved to the second Sunday as required.

The next rally is Sunday, November 13.
