Amateur Pack

The Amateur Divison is putting together an Affiliate pack containing a tote bag, cap, t shirt, stubby holder, drink bottle and a start up brochure, these goodies will be available from your local Affiliate, and will be replacing the old rug sponsorship.
These items will not be for sale, but rather an incentive given for you to lobby your local Affiliates.

Trans Tasman Challenge

UPDATE!!!

Trans Tasman challenge is running from the 30th September to the 4th of October 2009 at Tonimbuk Equestrian Centre in Victoria. There will be a clinic followed by an A class show on the Sunday incorporating the Youth and Amateur Trans Tasman events. Nominations close for the team on the 1st of August and for the clinic on the 31st of August.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for all Amateurs, to work with World Class clinicians and have the chance to be a part of the very first Australian Amateur team. This is an experience everyone should have a go at. Who knows where this challenge could end up in the future - there has already been interest from other countries to be included in the 2011 event so the possibilities are endless.
