A BIG crowd converged at the Rupertswood and District Horse Club on Sunday for the Mother’s Day Fun Day.
The annual event saw sons, daughters and husbands celebrate their mum’s and wives while enjoying a hearty cooked breakfast and lunch, with free tea, coffee and cakes available for mum to enjoy while taking in a feast of campdrafting events ranging in age groups from led-ins and under-10s through to seasoned veterans in the 40 and over class.
The perpetual trophy and a $50 voucher to Lanskey’s Saddleworld were presented to Anita Meehan for accumulating the highest points total over all events on the day.
Prizes and ribbons were also given to the best presented horse and rider with Jorja Kerr winning the under-13 section; Rebecca Grinham taking out the under-18s and Catherine Linke prevailing in the 18 and over section.
Treasurer for Rupertswood District Horse Club, Sharon Yardley, said the event had been enjoyed by all.
“It was great to see so many mothers out here with their kids, and it was really nice to see all the families getting together and giving the mum’s some well-deserved recognition for everything they do,” she said.
“I’d also like to thank our sponsors Lanskeys Saddle World, Weseal Pty Ltd and Jensen Early Learning Centre.
