NSW Pony Club suspended until 31st December 2007
Jenny Amadio, Tuesday, 18 September 2007
All Pony Club horse activities are suspended until 31 December 2007. This includes the State Mounted Games, State One Day Event and State Show Riding Championships.
The State Executive gave consideration to the current information available from the Department of Primary Industry in making their decision.
Zones are advised that they must consider their position in regards to holding non-horse activities, taking into account their local situation and strict bio-security measures must be taken.
Be advised that a NSW wide ban on the movement of horses remains in force indefinitely. Penalties for disregarding the ban include a fine of up to $44000 and a gaol term of 12 months.
PCANSW ask all members to adhere to the directives of the NSW DPI. Even if your horses are well and you do not think they could have horse flu, do not attempt to move them even if you think there is a safer, a better or a more convenient place to keep them.
Updates are being provided on the PCANSW website (www.pcansw.org.au) as they become available. Further information is available on the NSW Department of Primary Industry website www.dpi.nsw.gov.au or phone the EI Hotline 1800 675 888 and the Australian Horse Industry Council website www.horsecouncil.org.au An ‘Equine Flu’ information newsletter will be posted to each financial household in the next week.
The 2008 Junior Mounted Games squad will be selected via written application similar to Olympic discipline applicants for State Camp. Applications close 1st November 2007. Those riders who nominated for selection at the State MG Championships, will be contacted to update their information. Selection for the 2008 Senior MG squad is yet to be determined.
