And continues with this amendment to the original: "The provisions of this statue shall not apply to femalesweighing less than ninety pounds nor exceeding two hundred pounds."A misworded ordinance in Wolf Point, Montana: "No horse shall be allowed in public without its owner wearing ahalter."1899 vintage law from Waverly, Kentucky: "Any person who shall ride a horse in a public place while wearing anydevice or thing attached to the head, hair, headgear or hat, which device or thing is capable of lacerating the fleshof any other person with whom it may come in contact and which is not sufficiently guarded against the possibilityof so doing, shall be adjudged a disorderly person."A 1907 Cumberland County, Tennessee statute reads: "Speed while on horseback upon county roads will be limitedto three miles an hour unless the rider sees a bailiff who does not appear to have had a drink in thirty days, thenthe horseman will be permitted to make what he can."Male horse buffs in Basalt, Nevada, are prohibited from eating onions between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. whileout riding.

USE OF GROUNDSMembers can apply to use grounds via two methods:• On foot or• By Float with permit from DPIDPI regulations state that more than 3 riders on the grounds at one time constitutes anevent, therefore PRARG must manage requests to use the grounds for training purposes.We do not want to create a situation where “a gathering of horses” is deemed an event.The only way to avoid this is to request that ALL members book if they wish to use thegrounds.The PIC number for travel permits is: QGBD 2529The PRARG designated person for bookings to use thegrounds is:Christine Tompkins 55 477 314 or 0405 189 307To comply with the DPI regulations the Management committee has decided:• Any requests to use grounds MUST be made at least 48hrs prior to the designatedcommittee person.• Members traveling by float have to provide permit number and validity dates – andHAVE A WAYBILL - a copy to be left at PRARG GROUNDS (in envelope under greencontainer at rear of yards) for club collection.• No more than 3 riders at a time can use grounds and avoid contact where possible.• Members are encouraged to abide by the DPI regulations including arriving with aCLEAN FLOAT, GEAR ETC and to report any riders not following the guidelines.• Bookings will only be taken for a 2 week period to ensure the grounds are sharedequitably i.e 6-8am, 8 – 10am; 11am – 1pm; 3-5pm.Thank you for your cooperation – and keep in mind that CLUB events get underway fromEASTER ON with the saddlery market and a club day 30 th March.Management committee
