The Ballan and district Adult Riding Club hosts rallies each month, ex Dec, on the 4th Saturday of the month at the Ballan Racecourse, Racecourse Road Ballan.
In 2021, our club started hosting Working Equitation classes with Margaret Anderson, on the third Tues of the month. I am pleased to announce, that we have secured Margaret as our regular instructor for another year.
The clinics are offered on a one hour/ shared lesson basis, with the venue being dependent on weather. Additional fees apply for use of Venue. Please enquire with Working Equitation Co Ordinator: Maxine Wilkinson :[email protected].
We occasionally hold rallies away from the club grounds such as trail or beach rides and these involve some travelling and may include bush riding.
Our rallies usually run between 10am - 3pm, depending on our instructors and how many members we have attending, we may have to schedule earlier or later.
We always break for an hour for lunch, lunch is b.y.o, we all meet together for a picnic, weather permitting or in the club rooms where we chat and have social time.
Our fees are structured in two parts and are prepaid annually.
The HRCAV fee is $170.00 , and is not prorated until much later in the year, this amount
includes personal insurance and HRCAV membership.
The club fees for Saturday Rally attendance is $200.00 + $170 HRCAV totalling $370.00
this allows attendance at 5 Saturday rallies, additional rallies will be charged at $40 per rally.
We offer Working Equitation Membership and Competition Memberships as alternative membership options (refer to membership form).
The annual membership year is from 1st November through to Oct 31st in line with the HRCAV yearly membership.
Existing members of the HRCAV need only pay one annual membership to the organisation, and may join Ballan ARC by paying the annual club fee
only.
We hope that this information helps, if I can be of any further assistance please call any of our committee members.
We encourage prospective members to visit the club, meet some of our members and watch our instructors at work.
We understand that different clubs have different attributes that suit different people and sometimes it can take time and investigation to find the right club for you, good luck.
We hope you find Ballan a helpful and friendly riding environment.
