On the 17th and 18th February the Shaya Moya Endurance Club hosted their first Ride for the 2017 season at the New Amalfi Sale pens. There were 99 entries in total for the 2 day event, with riders entering various distances, namely 40km(for Novice Horses), 80km – Novice and Competitive as well as for the brave 120km. The 120km riders pulled off nice and early at 3am on Saturday morning which was the start of a long 7 hour ride. Well done to Deirdre Duminy who finished 1st in the 120km competitive class.
Many successful riders and horses completed their rides. The success of the 2 day event would not be possible if we did not have the support from the local riders and surrounds. Thank you EG Vets for doing a sterling job at the Vet lanes, to Marita Green for all the catering, to the Committee and members who helped organise everything as well as to Gordon Date for some spectacular photography, Ria and Derek for the Time keeping and commentary. We would like to invite the community to come and support our next event on the 31st March/1st April in Underberg. For further information contact farsbiggs@gmail.com.
