Burgie horse trials needs your feedback
Burgie Eventing Center, Scotland, is calling on all BE members in Scotland, as well as any other rider who has competed at the Burgie horse trials, for their feedback on the proposed dualling of the A96 between Inverness and Aberdeen by 2030. Currently, the favoured route includes a section that would run through Burgie Farm, causing significant disruption to the equestrian enterprises and a substantial impact on the businesses operating within the farm.
The proposed route would run across the cross country course (15m above the existing water jump) making it unusable,
meaning organisations/events currently using Burgie would cease to run. This would include the two BE competitions plus events hosted by Moray RC and the Moray & Nairn branch of the PC. So Burgie are looking to the local community and people affected by these changes to voice their opinion and ensure that these facilities are available to be enjoyed in the future.

Riding Club competitors to benefit from ‘Hat Amnesty’
The British Equestrian Trade Association (BETA) and British Riding Clubs (BRC) have teamed up to offer BETA’s Helmet Bounty Scheme at next month’s BRC NAF Five Star Horse Trials Championships.
The scheme has been extended to include riding club competitors. This means that riders diagnosed with concussion by an event’s medical official are provided with £100 worth of vouchers towards the cost of replacing their old hat. Vouchers must be redeemed with a participating BETA retailer. “Improving rider safety is an integral part of our work and we are tremendously pleased that the scheme – effectively a hat amnesty – will help to drive home the message that hats should always be replaced when they have been involved in an incident,” said BETA executive director Claire Williams.

Riders taking advantage of the bounty must agree to their hats being returned to BETA and BRC passing on details of their injury. More than 40 hats have been collected to date and returned to the research team at University College Dublin. The scheme was initially launched last year with British Eventing (BE), then extended to racing late in 2016.
