A rally is being planned for 27th August to protest the closure of parks in Victoria. This rally is being organised by the Bush User Group and details can be found on the following FB page: https://www.bugu.org.au/?fbclid=IwAR0-CBHs0f7XOYcU7lDdYcUdenNDl0jbCEv0RfwdDT-2xUvVi9s1HpAWIIs

This is very pertinent to endurance riding as access to tracks will no longer be available and we will lose our rides.

If you have time to head to Melbourne and join the rally please do. It's not time to be complacent and rely on other people standing up. We all need to be heard and to join in with other user groups.

VERA will be writing to politicians to put our case before Parliament. If you cannot make it to the rally then please send a letter to Louise Staley, Member for Ripon who has promised to put our letters before Parliament.

On behalf of the SMC and the riders attending the Toongabbie ride we would like to extend our warm thanks to the following volunteers:

The VERA SMC would like to congratulate Caley Rees for winning the VERA Discount Ride Entry voucher at the Toongabbie ride. This voucher entitles Caley to a $25 discount on her ride entry fee at the next ride at which she competes.

The VERA SMC would like to notify our members that swabbing was conducted at the Toongabbie ride this weekend. 3 samples were taken - 1 from the intermediate ride, one from the group of horses that retired at the 80km mark and one from the 100km completions.

On behalf of the SMC and the riders attending the Buchan ride we would like to extend our warm thanks to the following volunteers:
