Hoofbeats in Heaven - Vale to Charlie
As of yesterday morning (thank goodness before latest the blast of cold air) the real Charlie was sent to horse heaven. I knew in Jan that I would have to make the decision "soon", but he was still happy albeit very thin. When I saw him about 6 weeks ago, he was losing even more weight and his teeth could not handle his beloved carrots, even cut up. John Parbery did the deed and I have not cried as I know I did the right thing for my beloved psychiatrist. Would that people could be afforded the luxury of going to sleep before any suffering ensues. I trust I do not take out my angst on any coming down the centreline in the next week or two.
Charlie's human benefactor and grateful recipient of his extremely good nature, J. Alice (16/07/2010)

Horsezone.com.au will be supporting our club through the Horsezone Club Contribution.
When a member of NRC lists a horse for sale on Horsezone.com.au they will be presented at checkout with the option to have Horsezone.com.au contribute 10% of the total listing fee to your club or association. For example if Laura lists her horse with Horsezone and is charged $25 for the listing she can choose your club to receive $2.50 from Horsezone. This money then is paid to the club once it reaches $250.
You could win a trip to the Kentucky World Equestrian Games. Find out more HERE

Bucket Drive - money raised is helping to replace the NRC road sign on Mona Vale Road! $100 already raised!
Fantastic member Di Gerahty has organised a fundraiser for NRC in the form of BIG WHITE FEED BUCKETS! Di has procured a large number of buckets, cleaned them up to almost new condition and they are available for $5 each (with a lid) from the clubhouse. These buckets are usually $14 from Bunnings! The money raised will be going towards revamping the NRC Mona Vale road sign (that Di also keeps up to date)! An honesty system is in place - help yourself and leave the $5.
NRC is proud to announce their sponsorship of the Junior Sydney Development Squad in Eventing.
Eventing NSW has for several year run two annual live-in camps which may be attended by any young athlete who is a member of Eventing NSW. As an extension to this program, Ev NSW has set up four Junior Development squads for riders in the country (north, south, west and in Sydney) who have put together “quality” performances at Intro, Prelim or Pre Novice levels. There will be approximately 20 riders in each squad and they will receive instruction at two 2-day clinics in the Autumn and Spring school holidays. The squads will remain together for one year and it is intended that this should be an on-going project with new coaches and riders selected at the beginning of each year.
NRC has committed to the sponsorshp of the Sydney Squad which holds a number of NRC associate members. The Sydney squad for 2010 will ride in royal blue saddle cloths and will have the NRC logo on one side of the cloth. Keep an eye out for them One Day Events.NRC will keep you informed of their progress thoughout the year! For more infor visit Eventing NSW Junior Squad Page.
