- At the conclusion the workbooks will be collected and assessed.
- Muster uniform is essential.
- Cost will be $10 to cover the cost of the workbooks and certificates.
- Nominations must be on line by Friday Night.
- You should preferably bring your own horse, or you can use one of the agisted horses at the club. I will arrange to have a couple available.
Things you will need to know
