IMPORTANT NOTICES
• If you know you are not attending the July’s (or any)
rally - please notify the DC, Kate Huglin. This will
facilitate grouping.
• If any riders decide to leave during a rally you must
notify the DC, because according to the PCAV bi-laws
riders must attend the majority of any rally to be
eligible to have that rally ‘counted’ for grading/
attendance purposes.
• On out of rally days there is access to club rooms and
toilets, but there is no access to the kitchen; so please
bring your own beverages.

CLUB CONNECTIONS
EBONY PARK EXCLUSIVE AGISTMENT
At Ebony Park all the horses are checked and serviced twice a day. We feed and rug
according to your requirements and are sure to contact you immediately if we notice
anything wrong with your horse. You have two paddocks to use with us. So every 8
weeks you rotate paddocks and worm and move. We then go in and harrow your
paddock and check the fencing for tightness and electric charge, this ensures the grass
grows evenly so your horse always has some grass and the paddock is always safe. It
is of utmost importance the people we allow onto the property are the right match for
the entire family here at Ebony Park. Every one respects everyone else’s belongings
and way of riding and is friendly and supportive of each other. We have a secure
property with gates that require a code to enter and exit, and our arena never gets
crowded so you will always have plenty of space to ride.
If you are looking for a property where you KNOW your horse will be looked
after and a peaceful place to ride and train, give Kate a call on 0422 227 364 to
have a chat to see if we are the right place for you.
