Dear Members,We are excited to announce an upcoming event for Friesian and Friesian X owners, which is open to members (free) and non-members ($5), and will be held in Palmerston North on Sunday 14th September. Please see the attached PDF to read all about it and get in touch to book your spot. While this is a non-ridden event, we do have some ridden events in the pipeline for October and November, so keep your eyes peeled for further updates!In terms of our January get-together at the NEC, we have had to postpone this due to low numbers, but we are working to have this get-together at the very end of May 2026 over the long weekend. This will likely be combined with our 2026 AGM. We would love to have as many of our members there as possible for a fun weekend with our back beauties!I hope you have a fabulous rest of your week and get to enjoy some quality time with your horses!Warm regards, ...
