Announcement of the 2017 Gow-Gates Club Development Grant Program recipients
The 2017 Gow-Gates Club Development Grant Program provided an opportunity for Clubs with a current EA State Branch Club Affiliation to access funding to assist with projects and initiatives focused on safety and risk management.
We were delighted to receive a high number of applications. Although, consequently, the funding sought exceeded the amount available.
In consultation with Gow-Gates, we prioritised the submissions that we believe most clearly demonstrated an outcome of consistent and sustained improved safety for horses and/or riders or enhanced risk management practices.
We congratulate the following clubs who have been awarded a grant for their planned safety initiatives.
