McCANN CHAFF MILL 2009 YOUNG DRESSAGE CHAMPIONSHIPS - 18/19th April.
With Interstate judges, great entries, great prizemoney and prizes, 5 sand arenas and great weather the 2009 McCann Chaff Mill Championships were extremely successful. Our new major sponsors, McCann Chaff, of Grenfell, donating prizemoney as well as many bags of their wonderful chaff products enhanced the heavily laden prize tables. In addition, there were many other sponsors, without who's assistance the event could not be run. Hillside Veterinary Clinic, Equissentials Saddlery, Giddyup Gags and Bits Saddlery, Wow Saddles and South West Slopes Credit Union sponsored the 5 arenas for the weekend - all riders were extremely grateful to have such safe and soft footing for their precious steeds.
The results are posted here.

This club was first established in 1974 and has grown from strength to strength over the years. The loyal committee and members have worked very hard to establish a permanent ground at Bendick Murrell (between Young and Cowra NSW). The 5 sand competition arenas are now enhanced by a double sized sand warm-up arena which proved extremely successful when there were large numbers warming up together. The 16 new rubber lined stables were fully booked and safe steel yards were erected with the compliments of MAD HARRY'S STEEL YARD AT YOUNG. The additional facilities of wash bays, club house, shower and camping facilities were all well utilized.
