2012-November-21 update

• 2012 Tasmanian Pointscores have been updated, including the Oss Foley Last Minute Special results.
   
• Southern Tasmanian Endurance Riders Inc. - AGM & Crisis Meeting:

The Southern Tasmanian Endurance Riders Inc (STER) Committee would like to invite everyone (in the south of the state) who is interested in endurance, to join them at STER’s AGM.

This is an IMPORTANT MEETING where the future of endurance in the south of the state will be deliberated - the club is at crisis point.

The Committee made an extremely difficult decision at the beginning of this year, to pull all southern rides from the 2012 TEERA ride calendar due to the lack of support. The committee ran one training ride from the Cliftonvale Property (Dysart), which was poorly attended. This is crunch time for the club.

When:
Sunday 27th January 2013
Time:
Meeting will commence at 11.30am, followed by a BBQ Lunch.
(we have the site till 4pm)
Where:
Waterworks Reserve, Waterworks Road Dynnyrne, Site 2 (covered site)

BYO Meat, drinks plus either a bowl of salad or a desert to be added to the table to share amongst all.

ALL POSITIONS WILL BE DECLARED VACANT, AND NOMINATIONS FOR THESE POSITIONS WILL BE TABLED THROUGH THE AGM.

RSVP:
Tammy - Tammy.Miller@environment.tas.gov.au or 6268 6699
Ossie Owen - gillon100@bigpond.com or 6234 7113

  Hello Members,
   
  I am writing on behalf of the State Championship Committee to invite all members of TEERA to
  see if anyone would be interested in making a donation to the State Championship Committee to
  help run the State Championships to be held at Sassafras 30th November – 2 December, 2012.
   
  The State Championship Committee has lost the sponsorship we normally receive from Country Club
  Tasmania mainly due to the State Dinner being held elsewhere this year. They usually like some
  reciprocal deal with their funding. The amount would be totally up to the donor, but with quite a
  few of our members doing quite well out of the sport, any donation would be greatly appreciated as
  I am sure you agree the cost of running these events are becoming quite expensive with regards to
  vets, ambulance, radio operators, officials etc. and the State Champs have become a fantastic event
  that the whole state can be proud of and we would like it to remain as such.
   
  If you are able to help out could you let me know ASAP so we can get start organising our event –
  but we won’t be requiring the money until closer to the event.
  Thanking you all very much in advance.
   
  Cheers,
  Pamela Shadbolt
  PAM SHADBOLT
  Secretary/Treasurer
  State Championship Committee.

• NOTICE TO RIDERS WITHDRAWING ON TRACK:

  2. If you DO happen to call a float and withdraw out on track, upon return to base, you MUST present to the vets for a vet inspection as per normal. Your logbook must be signed off by the vet and the ride secretary. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.

2012-Jun-28 update

FROM THE TOM QUILTY EVENT DIRECTOR
 
Now that things have started to settle I thought I would take the opportunity to pass on my sincere appreciation to everyone who assisted in the successful running of this wonderful event. So many people got behind our small committee and did their bit to promote Tasmania as one of the up and coming thriving endurance riding States in this country. There are in fact too many to mention, you all know who you are and what you have done to help and I thank you wholeheartedly.
 
As a riding community, we should all be extremely proud of the success achieved by the entire Tasmanian contingent, from those who excelled at the front of the field, to those whose aim was a buckle even though it meant long hours in the saddle and careful tending of their tiring horses. Well done to all. To those who unfortunately did not achieve their goal, the Quilty will be back with us in a few years – aim to achieve that buckle next time.
 
I think some of the highlights of the event were the presentations and the dinner. To be able to present so many fit, keen and healthy horses after completing 160 kilometres the day before is a credit to the horsemanship being applied. The dinner was certainly the ‘best ever’ with everyone who attended enjoying great food, fantastic music, energetic dancing and lots of laughter.
 
I believe we have at last lain to rest the cloud which had been hanging over us from previous ill-fated events and anticipate that riders from all over Australia will next time flock to our State to participate in this wonderful iconic ride.
 
So, now it is over. Again, my thanks go to all those who have supported me in my endeavours as Ride Director over the past months and years.
 
Pat Hodgetts
Event Director

  SHAHZADA 400 KM ENDURANCE RIDE ST. ALBANS N/W OF SYDNEY

  THIS IS THE YEAR YOU GIVE IT A GO, STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE OF THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE The 32nd 400km Shahzada Marathon endurance ride will be held from Monday,27th to Friday, 31st August, 2012 and camping will be available in St Albans at the ride base from Sat 18th as well as accommodation at many local venues….check out the Shahzada website www.shahzadaresults.org for all the information you will need, reserve your favorite number, entry forms and campsite requests to be sent asap and read some of the stories from past rides to get you motivated……this is a very special event and if you don’t do anything else in endurance, you have to ride Shahzada!! The marathon event is run over five days on local roads and tracks – McKechnies, Woomera Path, Shepherds Gully, Johnny’s Hill, The Steps and Prestons – a great deal of work has been done on the course over the last few years and there will be track clearing of some of the tracks in May because of the Careflight at St Albans ride…..if you can come and help please contact Haydn Fisher on 0263 733 932. These improved tracks, with the elimination of many tarred road verges and the wonderful help and advice from the veterinary panel during the ride over the last few years headed up by Dr. Kym Hagon, have helped to establish a very good completion rate – everyone who is successful receives a highly coveted Shahzada buckle. After riding and successfully completing Shahzada in 2010, Kym is back as Head Vet and together with wife Kim, the social committee promises you all heaps of fun during the week as well as “the ride of your life”. Jeff Bonham is back again this year as Chief Steward so book your holidays now and be prepared for a week to remember. In addition to the 400km event - there will be a 120 km Mini Marathon over three days (experience the passion and wonderful riding tracks of the Macdonald Valley without the pressure) – it is fantastic training for young horses. Come for the fun and the challenge – be part of the excitement – this is the premier ride of the endurance calendar and not to be missed. We have heaps of riders entering from Tasmania, Western Australia,Victoria and Queensland this year so St Albans will be buzzing. Enquiries: Sue Todd (02) 6379 7218 or email suetodd@activ8.net.au Additional Shahzada information with heaps of its history is available on www.shahzadaresults.org. where you can see daily updates during the week of the ride. Entry forms are available on the website now….please send entry forms and money to Ross Mudie and send your campsite requests to Sue Todd.

• TOM QUILTY 2012 MERCHANDISE will be ON SALE AT THE STATE CHAMPS!
  
  Get in early and make sure you have some of this snazzy gear – help support the Quilty in our State!
  Merchandise will be available on Friday from 12-5pm and Sunday 9-11am but not on Saturday during the ride.
   
  • Polo T shirts $35
  • Polo Vests $35
  • Fleece Jackets $50
  • Flash jackets $60
  • Soft Shell Jackets $115
  • Caps and Beanies $15
  • Mugs $12
  • Stubbie holders $12
     
• Gill Brame will be in attendance at the State Champs offering EMRT (Equine Muscle Release Therapy) and also Bowen Therapy for riders (and non-riders!).
   
  I am a fully qualified and registered practitioner for both horse and human. These therapies are very gentle and non-invasive and are allowed by the FEI and EFA on the day of the event.
  
  EMRT is the original Bowen for horse and is a series of gentle rolling movements over key points of the horses body. It works via the Central Nervous System to bring the body into a state of balance. EMRT was the therapy used by the gold medal winning Australian Endurance Team at the World Cup in France 2000.
  
  During a ride (between legs) I can perform a "bandaid treatment" on your horse or yourself (takes five minutes).
  The bandaids for horses get the gut moving, calms the stressed/nervous horse, releases tight muscles, pinched nerves, lactic acid build-up, cold back, stiffness on one rein, short stepping etc. it makes the horse supple/flexible...
  
  For the riders if you have sore ankles, knees, shoulders, stiff back, neck etc. a bandaid treatment will help get you through the ride. I can do this whilst you are sitting on a bale of hay, bucket, chair, very quick but effective! I will have my gazebo set up with massage table also, a full treatment takes about 40 minutes.If you have bandaids on your horse during the ride a full treatment is recommended when the ride is finished. Treat your self and your horse after the ride. Horses need half an hour after full treatment before floating.
  
  The bandaid treatments are only $10, can be done after each leg if desired.
  The full treatments are $40 (normally $65).
  
  EMRT does not replace veterinarian treatment; I work in conjuction with Vets.
  
  Feel free to come and have a chat if you would like to find out more about what EMRT can do for your horse, or Bowen for yourself, or to book a treatment. My phone number is 0427907779.

2011-November-13 update

• Gordon Williams Memorial Ride Results are now online.
   
• TQ12 website link added to main menu
   
• Safety and Helmets
   
  Any endurance event competitor, regardless of ride length, found riding without a correctly fitted Australian standard helmet, will be eliminated from the competition and subject to immediate disciplinary action. This means that the helmet worn must meet current safety standards, be fitted correctly and securely and has the strap done up while riding at all times.
   
  The current standards accepted by AERA are those which have been set by Standards Australia after extensive research and industry consultation and those standards which are accepted in the USA and Europe. Details of these are: AS/NZS 3838 Current Australian and NZ standard.
  
  The wearing of protective headgear has been shown to have a major influence on the reduction of horse related injuries. Helmets should be replaced after any moderate to severe blows or after the recommended replacement time specified in the information provided with the helmet.
   
• Also a reminder to all members that if you are planning on entering a ride which starts before dawn, you need to carry your own torch or head torch!

    The AERA is calling for Expressions of Interest for the position of AERA Insurance Officer. Currently $250 per month is paid but this is under review. Please send Expressions of Interest to Anne Jones, annej@cooroy.net.au by 30th September, 2011.

  • Please note that Elaine Williams must be advised of any calendar changes to ensure that the National Calendar is up to date for insurance purposes.
    
    Anne Jones
    AERA Secretary
     
• MISUSE OF PUBLIC FORUMS
  
  TEERA SMC has noted, over the past year, the increased misuse of public forums such as Facebook, where some riders make comments that bring the sport of endurance into disrepute. Comments and complaints that bring the sport into disrepute that are displayed in public forums such as Facebook will not be tolerated.
  
  Members are respectfully reminded of Code of Conduct Rules M1, M2 and M3 in the AERA rulebook. If members wish to appeal a decision over placings, it is to be put in writing and given to the Chief Steward at the event on the day prior to presentations.
   
• AN ODE TO OUR TIMEKEEPERS
  
  God bless all of our absolutely fabulous timekeepers
  Without them the sport of endurance would be up the creek - jeepers!
  They give us the time to vet and the time to go out the start gate
  Lucky for us they had practice avoiding their kids getting to school late
  They are kind and supportive, and hand logbooks over with smiles
  That helps horse and riders keep going over miles and miles
  They are rather special, our time keeping ladies and our timekeeping men
  We show our appreciation and thank every single one of them
  Riders would be stuffed, if not for super timekeeping people, for sure
  So let’s be nice and try not to finish a leg like Hells Angels on world tour!

Arrows need to be placed where they can be seen, in a colour that stands out and does not blend in with the bush. Low limbs and cut off stakes sticking up are dangerous. Take care that the distance is correct. A timely reminder of Rider Etiquette & Member Conduct Rules 1.1 The principle of fairness and a high standard of conduct must be upheld by all members, ride officials, committees, riders and support teams. 1.2 Members must recognise and respect not only their own rights and responsibilities but also must conduct themselves with due regard to the rights, dignity, safety and welfare of horses, other members, officials, management committee, ride committees and members of the public. 1.3 Members are to conduct themselves in a manner which maintains the reputation and orderly functioning of endurance riding as determined by the AERA Inc. Members Handbook. 2010-October-22 update STER Dysart ride results now available. 2010-October-18 update Online entries for the Oss Foley Memorial Ride are now open! See the calendar for more details. Please note that entries close on Tuesday the 26th of October. This applies to phone entries as well. 2010-October-12 Added BBRI Nietta Gordon Williams Memorial Endurance Ride info page link to the calendar. 2010-October-10 Added Transfer of Ownership form to the forms page. Many thanks to those who provided feedback via the website survey. The results were generally very positive and almost everyone was in favour of being able to enter rides via the website. Looking at the summary chart below, the main area for improvement appears to be News Items. There were also requests for more rider stories. So - if anyone has any stories or news items they would like to share, please send them in to me and I will do my best to get them onto the website! :-) There was one 'abysmal' vote for the ride results, but there were no comments as to why. One of the goals for this year was to improve the speed of ride results being available on the website. However updating the website is just the last link in a long chain of events that need to occur in order to get accurate ride results. Please make sure your ride entry forms are accurately and fully completed so the chain has a good start - many delays are the result of chasing up missing or incomplete information. 2010-October-06 Update to BEER Wynyard ride results, minor changes to the STER Dysart online entry form. 2010-October-05 update To those attending the STER Dysart Ride this month: Please note that due to horse containment issues at recent rides, ALL YARDS WILL BE CHECKED on the Friday night by the Chief Steward, and TAPED YARDS MUST BE ELECTRIFIED. 2010-October-03 BEER Wynyard ride results from yesterday are now available - see the calendar. A big thank you to all those people who entered online - this is a huge time saver for the ride committee. Also check out the new entry statistics page, generated from the online entry data. And... Lebrina Best Conditioned results added - finally! In light of events at recent rides, we remind riders and officials of AERA guidelines for DUTY OF CARE WITH REGARD TO HORSE CONTAINMENT AT RIDES & SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN AT RIDES Please see Page 49 of the 2010 AERA RULEBOOK or use the links above. 2010-September-25 update STOP PRESS!!

Due to the Grand Final between St Kilda and Collingwood being played AGAIN on Saturday 2nd October, riders and crew are encouraged to turn up to the ride in their team colours!

SHAHZADA 400 KM ENDURANCE RIDE 30th ANNIVERSARY/THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE To celebrate the anniversary we are hoping to attract a record number of entries – at least 100 in the main ride so start planning now!!!!!!! All endurance riders from across Australia are invited to the historic village of St Albans, just north west of Sydney, for the 30th 400km Shahzada marathon endurance ride from August 23-27, 2010, eight weeks after the Quilty in Manilla and five weeks prior to the NSW State Championships for all those contemplating The Big Three. Camping is available from 14/8 at the ride base as well as accommodation at many local venues….check out the Shahzada website www.shahzadaresults.org/10entry.htm reserve your number if you are a regular and read some of the stories from past rides to get you motivated……there is no other ride like this one!!!!! The marathon event is run over five days on local roads and tracks – McKechnies, Woomera Path, Shepherds Gully, Johnny’s Hill, The Steps and Prestons – a great deal of work has been done on the course over the last few years under the guidance of Allan Caslick and Brad Jones - track clearing days will be announced soon…..if you can come and help please contact Brad. These improved tracks with the elimination of many tarred road verges and the wonderful help and advice from the veterinary panel during the ride over the last few years headed up by Kym Hagon, has established a very good completion rate – everyone who completes receives a highly coveted Shahzada buckle. So inspired, Kym will be riding the marathon this year!!! In addition to the 400km event – “the ride of your life”, there will be a 120 km Training Ride (Mini Marathon) over three days (experience the passion and wonderful riding tracks of the Macdonald Valley without the pressure). Come for the fun and the challenge – be part of the excitement – apart from the riding, the social committee will ensure that it is a week to remember. Enquiries: Sue Todd (02) 6379 7218 or email suetodd@activ8.net.au Additional Shahzada information is available on www.shahzadaresults.org where you can see daily updates during the week of the ride. 2010-June-18 update Kimberley 40km results posted!
