Welcome
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all old and new competitors to the 2010 Alice Springs Masters Games.
Competitors and spectators can expect an exciting line up of events to be held at Blatherskite Park on Len Kittle Drive.
Blatherskite Park is situated at the base of the beautiful MacDonnell Ranges and is about a 7 minute drive from the town centre. Camping and stabling facilities are available at a small fee.
Competition includes Dressage, Western, Hacking and Riding, Harness, Show Jumping and Novelty events.
Equestrian has been a part of the Masters Games since the second Games and has had competitiors from all over Australia. I would like to express my thanks to all the people who are travelling to Alice Springs to compete in the Equestrian events as we all know the effort and expense involved in travelling with horses is huge.
There will be a riders brief on Saturday 9th October at 11am at Blatherskite Park. All competitors must attend this briefing. If you are unable to attend, could you please phone Sue and let me know.
Best of luck to all riders and enjoy the 2010 Friendly Games.
Sue Wharton
