Christchurch Earthquake Canterbury HT at McLeans Island postponed
Eventing Canterbury are postponing the ODE that was to be held on Sunday
27th February at McLeans Island. The St Johns Ambulance service are not
able to guarantee attendance, and they are not able to guarantee that we
would have access to hospital services should they be necessary. Also many
of our riders are volunteering in some way to assist in the emergency.
Riders are using their trucks to cart water to parts of the city that are
without and many are volunteering to assist at shelters and in the rescue
and recovery teams.
An alternative date to run the event is being looked into, and will be
notified.
As a result of the circumstances of this postponement ESNZ will be
approaching the FEI requesting special dispensation for those riders where
this event was a critical qualification for FEI events this season. If we
are successful in achieving the dispensation from the FEI it will only apply
to riders who have met all other qualifications requirements and can show
they are of the required standard.
WAITEMATA CANCELLED BUT WOODHILL STEPS UP
It is with regret that Eventing Waitemata announces the cancellation of
their 27/28th March Trial due to the continuation of earthworks at our
Redvale Venue. We would like to thank all riders and officials who supported
our February Trial at the NEC Taupo. We look forward to seeing you all next
season with our newly designed track and water complex.
However Woodhill Sands has announced that it will run a Trial on Waitemata's
date 27/28 March. Schedule here

Riders please note that Woodhill WILL need HELP to run this event - see
schedule on how you can help and and save yourself some $$$$.
