WHAT HAPPENS AT A SADDLE UP RALLY?
Rallies may be held at various locations around the Manawatu which often include Foxton Racecourse,. These are unstructured ridden gatherings where members come and school.  Its a great time to meet other members, bring out new/young horses, ride-around and have a casual outing.

You can arrange to BYO instructor and sometimes we will have various instructors there to help you out as well.  Sometimes there are a handful of jumps set up, or you can set some up yourself.

You don't need to be a current member to attend a rally, but we ask  if you attend three Saddle Up Events (of any kind) that you join.  You do need to follow Saddle Up rules, including Welfare guidelines at any Saddle Up event.
