AQHA AMATEUR
DIVISION
Hello Fellow Amateurs
Well a lot has changed in the world since my last report.
COVID 19 arrived and has changed the whole world
including the competition scene.
NSW state show concluded in early march and unfortunately
for South Australia their State show scheduled to run in
late march was postponed due to the mass gathering rules
as was Q20. All affiliates are now having to reschedule or
cancel shows and this will change the calendar for the rest
of the season and the next. The AQHA has released the new
date for Q20 October 14-20. Like Q20 the amateur AGM
will also move to a new date so stay tuned.
During these difficult times many of us have become a little
more IT skilled either for work or to deal with Isolation and
staying in touch with family and friends. Several trainers are
also offering online tuition via videos, this is a great initiative
to keep our riding skills up and our horses progressing in the
absence of shows and clinics. For some Lucky horses they
have an early holiday break.
The Coronavirus has had a massive effect on jobs and how
we do them , if we still have one and family commitments
and social distancing. This is all unchartered territory for
many , remember there is plenty of support out there ,keep
in touch with family and friends and Stay Safe, Stay Home
(where possible), Stay in Touch and we will all get through
this. And remember handwashing and hand sanitiser and
social distancing will be your best friend.
Until next time, happy riding and stay safe
Cheers
Leonie
