Special Olympics being held at KRC on 31 August 2013

This year will be holding a Special Olympics Equestrian Ribbon Day on Saturday 31 August. Last year it was a great success and all the local riders performed to a very high standard! This year riders will be preparing for the National Equestrian Games being held in Dunedin during the last week of November. 

We are looking for volunteers to help out for the day; we need helping grooming and preparing horses and providing various levels of assistance for our riders. If you can help we would love to hear from you! Please contact us through our contact page or call 09 407 5026.
