RIDE ORGANISER SURVEY The Play by the Rules Management Committee identified there was a need to find out the level of brand recognition, market penetration, understanding and usage of Play by the Rules throughout Australia. Obtaining this information will provide the National Manager and Management Committee with evidence-based information to inform PBTR’s future strategic direction. With close liaison and input from the Australian Sports Commission’s National Sport Research Department and the PBTR Co-chairs, a Play by the Rules 2012 Survey has now been developed for distribution throughout Australian sporting networks. Please find a link to the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/playbytherulessurvey2012 ********************************** HORSE OWNER SURVEY Horse owners given opportunity to voice Hendra virus concerns Biosecurity Queensland and Biosecurity New South Wales have developed a Hendra virus survey aimed at understanding the practices of horse owners. Queensland Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr Rick Symons said the ‘Horse Owner Survey on Hendra Virus’ is aimed at providing an insight into the practices, attitudes and opinions of horse owners. “The survey focuses on understanding husbandry practices, general management of horses, and feeding practices which may be related to Hendra virus transmission. “Information on the location, layout, design and vegetation of properties will help provide an insight into possible interactions between flying foxes and horses.” Dr Symons said the survey would also focus on the attitudes, opinions and horse owners’ understanding of Hendra virus. Dr Symons said information obtained from the survey would be of value to those working in human health planning, and will help improve responses to any similar threats in the future. The survey can be completed online at: https://www.research.net/s/Horse_Owner_Survey_on_Hendra_virus The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete and is open to horse owners in Queensland and New South Wales. |

What is Endurance Riding? | ||||||||||
| ||||||||||
Take a look at the following video for a sneak peak at what endurance is all about then for more information check out our link Starting Out | ||||||||||
Endurance competition tests the horse and riders ability to ride long distances within a maximum amount of time, and to remain sound and 'fit to continue' at the completion of the the kilometers travelled. There are many ride distances offered to riders ranging from 5km kiddie rides to 400km marathon rides. INTRODUCTORY RIDES (Usually around 20kms in distance) TRAINING RIDES (Usually around 40kms in distance) MINI MARATHON RIDES (Usually 3 days x 40kms) These ride distances are the starting place for the aspiring endurance rider, or the casual social rider. To be able to enter in longer ride distances you will need to become a financial member of your state endurance association (QLD Endurance Riders Association for riders in QLD) and your horse will require a logbook (also available from your state association) Before being able to enter in a longer event you will be required to successfully complete 2 x training ride events. Your speeds will continue to be restricted to 14km/hr or less until you successfully complete 240kms of endurance rides between 80-120kms in length. ENDURANCE RIDES (Usually between 80-160km in length) MARATHON RIDES (Usually 3 days x 80km) ELEVATOR RIDES (Usually 80km elevated to either 100km or 120km) To download a complete guide to endurance competion please download the booklet "Introduction to Endurance" For slower internet connections you can also download Jen Greens "My First Endurance Event" Further information, training tips, and advice can be found in the starting out section of our website.
