Good evening all,

The Brookvale Horse Endurance ride - the first (and pretty much only) WICEN supported event for Spring 2024 is approaching us. The event takes place on the trails in the Uriarra /Sherwood forest areas on Sunday 6 October with horses and their riders covering distances of up to 80km. This years event has changed with the first leg no longer going up west of the ride HQ - both legs will be in the Uriarra /Sherwood forest areas.

We need to provide operators for 5 check points and the headquarters - some checkpoints may need to have divided shifts and the HQ will definitely need multiple shifts, so anticipate needing at least 10-12 operators, although more is better!

This event normally has some relatively early starts (historically around 5am for the early checkpoints), so an event well suited for the early birds. The checkpoints are off forestry tracks, so in most case relatively easily accessed by 2WD vehicles with a bit of clearance, but as always if they get really wet, they can end up being better suited to 4WD access, so please let us know what your vehicle situation is when advising availability.

If you can assist with this event, please respond using the web form at the below link. Replying to this email is nice, but I am going to ask you to fill out the form so that all organisers can see the responses. Of course if you do have questions about it, please feel free to ask us direct. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfx9jrYqVh3tCAuXswsy_vqD-8LjhxdSmAZ Eshlx6gX8G30Ww/viewform
