A successful weekend competition was held at Gunning on 5 & 6 December with fine weather, fantastic grounds, and of course great people.

Thank you so much to all those who helped run the weekend, we couldn’t have done it without you, this is why our competitions run so smoothly.

Also thanks to the Upper Lachlan Shire Council for providing a great venue, they are always so helpful.

All this is what makes these weekends so great and the AMGA such a great environment for the kids, family and friends to get togther and enjoy a wonderful weekend.

Un-fortunately the cool change is not coming to SA soon enough now and both Saturday and Sunday are going to be over 40 so we are going to cancel the comp on the 14th-15th. Hope to do something before Xmas so keep in touch

Last comp for the year. Xmas break-up

Come prepared to have fun, There will be a few suprises .  BBQ tea for all Sat night look forward to seeing you all there

"MGA meets Speed Dating"

The format for the December Comp will be a Pairs Competition with a twist. There will be 3 sessions on Saturday & 3 sessions on Sunday, riders can enter for one or both days.

Each rider will enter as an Individual, at the beginning of each session names within each age group will be drawn out of a hat to form Pairs.

Each Pair will ride together for only one session.

Points accrued by each Pair will be split equally & each rider will accumulate points & carryover to the next session.

The rider in each age group with the most points over the two days will be declared the winner, in the event of equal points between riders a run off will be held, in a pre-determined race. Some age groups may need to be combined if there are insufficient numbers.

This is a terrific opportunity to ride with riders you haven't ridden with before.

Hope to see you all there.

Entry form will be on the calendar soon.

Cheers

Tim

We have been invited to hold a MGA Competition/Exhibition at the Cobram Show on Saturday the 24th October from 4pm until 7pm.

Horse accommodation will be provided by the Cobram Pony Club.

At this stage we are planning to run two set of heats of probably 8 races per heat.

The Competition will be run in a Pairs format and at this stage we will probably run a demonstration to explain the various skills involved in between the heats, which will give the horses a rest.

We are keen to get a range of ages of riders so all are welcome to apply to either myself  on 0407 112 185 or Ryan Davis on 0438 564 770.

This exhibition will be limited in numbers, so if necessary we will use past MGA results to select riders.

So if you are interested let us know.

 Please note Competition scheduled for 31st October has been cancelled.

Regards

Tim
