RIDE BASE INFORMATION
Please bring bags to take your horse poo and left-over hay/feed away with you. Also your camps rubbish as there will be NO garbage bins.
Woodstock showground has a newly renovated toilet block including showers. There are ample water points around the grounds providing town water which is suitable for human consumption.
Woodstock has a pub and a bowling club, both of which do meals. Cowra is a 15 minute drive from Woodstock and has supermarkets (Woolworths, Coles and Aldi), chemists, café’s, services stations etc.
Please note, Woodstock does not have a fuel station.
**IMPORTANT INFORMATION**
Cowra Shire Council has notified LERC of the presence of Chilean Needle Grass within the showgrounds and on some local road verges. Please do not ride up onto the verges. All vehicles will be blown down at the showgrounds main gate before exiting the grounds. Therefore we ask that you limit your need to remove your vehicles from the grounds over the course of the weekend.
RIDE INFORMATION
All rides will travel down quiet country lanes, through local grazing properties and along the Cobb & Co trail.
All riders must wear a current Australian Standard helmet. Whips and spurs are not allowed at endurance rides. Minimal human drinking water will be available on course, wherever possible we would encourage riders to carry their own water bottles, due to COVID-19.
Remember to bring buckets and sponges to wash your horse once you complete your ride and before presenting for your end of ride veterinary check. Please remember it can be hot and humid in February, so don’t push your horses in these conditions.
CATERING
There will be a canteen in operation and a coffee can in attendance.
DOGS
Allowed, ensure they are under control and on leads at all times. No dogs in the vetting area
