Maryborough Active Riders Club Inc

Hey MARC working equitation riders - Let’s talk uniforms for our upcoming HOTY 👔

Our club has two main options as outlined below - the original MARC blue and white equestrian style shirt and the cobalt blue “Just Country” embroidered collared shirt. Either option can be paired with navy or white pants, a navy vest and white stock tie, scarf or neck tie.
The club has stock of the original shirts but the newer collared shirts are usually a “source yourself” and Paterson Horse Rugs has the embroidery pattern, however, to help people out before our HOTY, we’re happy to do a preorder on the shirts and possibly the scarves. The shirts will be approximately $55-65 embroidered, depending on sizing availability etc. the scarves are $20, postage would be split amongst all those that order and be very minimal.

If you would like to take advantage of this easy to order option, please express your interest by **Friday 28/8 12pm** by commenting your size, if you would like half or full button, if you would like more than one, and if you would like a scarf. You can also message Sam Howard if you prefer.

Original MARC shirts are available through Pam Thurlow, contact her to grab yours 😊

Update regarding camping and stabling for our SGQ Working Equitation HOTY Competition
We have been informed by the Showgrounds about a change to camping areas etc, and this may impact where you book your stable - please see below map, stable size list and explanation.

There will be approximately 10 powered sites available close to the Covered arena, and these will be available on a first in first served on the weekend. There will also be unpowered sites available on the northern end, but will be significant distance from amenities etc. The remainder will be camping in “side show alley” and will be closest to stable/covered yard blocks to J, K & L.

You will be able to make amends to current stable bookings if needed via nominate, up until the Wednesday before the event.
