The newly formed Orange Equestrian Club (OEC) will hold its first sporting event at the Equine Management Centre at Charles Sturt University (CSU) on Saturday 15 October. “We’d like to encourage the Orange community to join the Club,” said Bachelor of Agricultural Business Management student at CSU and OEC treasurer, Mr Dennis Kunz. “Orange has a strong equine presence and, with the establishment of this group, we hope to offer more competition and educational events for the community.” The OEC sporting day will include barrel racing, bending, flag racing, apple bobbing and an egg and spoon race. “It’s a fun way to let people know about the Club and to announce details of the OEC Dressage and Showjumping Clinic to be held on Saturday 19 November with internationally renowned instructor Ms Megan Joerg.”
