BRC 28th JUNE TRYATHLON TRAINING DAY
The June training day will offer lots of options for our members!
Dressage Protocol, Flatwork Lessons, Jump Club and Obstacles
DRESSAGE PROTOCOL AND FLATWORK:
In preparation for the BRC Ranch Trail Competition on the August Training Day we have booked Kate O'Connor for dressage protocol. Kate is a well known and respected local instructor. If you wish to do protocol you can choose which test to ride. Each session will be for 20min, and you will have the opportunity to ride your chosen test once and receive feedback from Kate. The choices are:
-The cowboy dressage test that will be part of the upcoming Ranch comp (ridden in a 20m x 40m arena) Cowboy Dressage Test 1A or
- EA Prep Test 1 or
- EA Prelim Test 1.1
Details and link for tests are below.
As well as doing protocol, Kate will be offering group flatwork/ horsemanship lessons. The lessons will be in groups of maximum 4 riders for 1 hour. This may provide an opportunity to follow up on any advice given to you by Kate if you have done a protocol session with her.
JUMP CLUB: For those that love jumping, Melinda, our jumping committee coordinator, will have a jump course setup in the showjump arena. This will be a low key training opportunity in groups of 6. Heights offered will be 35 and 50cm. If you enter jump club you must select height you wish to jump by answering yes or no at height selection.
OBSTACLES: Lisa will be setting up an array of obstacles in the undercover arena with a view to getting in some practice for the Ranch Trail comp. They will provide an opportunity to expose your horse to new obstacles or practice your skills in completing the obstacles correctly. Obstacles will be available to practice on in a time that suits you, noting there is a max of 6 riders at any given time in the arena.
Lunch will be provided and is included in the cost.

CODE OF CONDUCT, SAFETY and INSURANCE
Please ensure that your gear/equipment/horse/pony is in good safe working order.
If you are riding, you will be required to wear a tagged riding helmet approved by EA (Equestrian Australia) and appropriate clothing and footwear.
BRC is an EA affiliated club and, as such, is covered by Public Liability Insurance.
EA members are also covered under insurance whilst riding and training their horses. However, being a BRC member only does not mean that you are automatically covered under insurance. You should consider if holding your own personal accident or loss of income insurance is right for you if you are not also an EA member.
A scratching fee will apply. Full refunds are only available if there is a rider on the waitlist or on receipt of a veterinary or medical certificate.
