11/05/2010 Alan Salter, Kerry Biggs and Andrew Inglis attended a tourism and recreation group made up of different user groups and convened by Parks Victoria.

The group had substantial input into the Alpine National Park draft management plan re access and general management issues and resolved to investigate the continuation of this group as a reference group which would be written into the management plan. This would mean that the group would have the ability to make ongoing recommendations as to how the park is managed even after the plan is finalised.

3/5/2010 A horse riding reference group for the Bunyip state forest was created to address the access issues that horse riders have in this park. Of major importance was loop rides and safe unloading areas. This group will meet quarterly for the moment.

Mary Hughes and Andrew Inglis are the ATHRA representatives on this committee.

24-25/04/2010 As part of the 'Black Saturday' rebuild BNT coordinators and DSE organised 20+, mainly ATHRA volunteers to help rebuild the horse yards at Andreson Mill between Narbethong and Marysville. This is the second camp site on the BNT.

12/04/2010 Recreational trail riders were represented at the inaugural "Healthy Parks Healthy People" international congress by Andrew Inglis who presented a personal testimonial titled ' Old bushwalkers don't die, they just see more on a horse.

Andrew was supported on the day by Kerry Biggs and Mary Hughes

Andrew's congress fee was sponsored by ATHRA
