    IMPORTANT NOTICE: On DAYS OF TOTAL FIRE BAN all rides are automatically cancelled. If extreme weather conditions are forecast for the day of a planned ride or event, it is your responsibility to phone the ride Coordinator to confirm if the ride is still proceeding, or if details have been changed


                                             This event is restricted to Club Members, Partners & Family only. 

    VENUE: “Heartwood Horses” 176 English Road, Bannockburn – hosted by Club Member Kim Barker and family, check out their website - www.heartwoodhorses.com.au . Bannockburn is an easy drive of less than an hour down the Midland Highway from Ballarat.

    EVENT: We have arranged this day to provide something a little bit different. No need to take horses as Kim has a number of Clydesdales and Carriages which we will be using. Kim and her family will conduct a short “harnessing up” workshop, (there is a sequence to the process & safety issues to observe), and we will then each have opportunity to drive a carriage or sled, or long rein (under supervision). This is a great opportunity to expand your knowledge of all things horsey. Obviously not everyone will be driving at one time, spectators can enjoy a coffee or tea in the comfort of a shelter, whilst watching the fun and games. The event can proceed in rain.

    The emphasis of the day is fun and socialising, (and partners are invited), the benefit being that we will all have a chance to get out of our comfort zone and learn a bit about the art of “Harness Driving”. All this and you do not need to bother with towing the float. 

    LUNCH: The Club will provide a BBQ lunch (upmarket) with salads which we will have under cover in the venue function room. Assorted cheeses and dips etc. will also be on offer, but please BYO your preferred wine, or your drink of choice. The Club urges all participants to drink responsibly & drive safely, perhaps consider going as a group and using a designated driver. A small $10 fee applies to cover costs.

    Event Fee is $10 fee for all attendees. Please arrive early to register for a 9.30 am start to proceedings.
