The annual Oss Foley Memorial Ride showcased the stunning Kentish mountain views and typical Tasmanian Spring weather, with regular intervals of delightful sunshine mixed with small showers, cool winds, a quick downpour of hail and a sprinkle of snowfall.

The event drew 46 participants to the Gowrie Park polocrosse grounds. Of these 25 headed off at 7am in the 80km, followed by 9 riders at 8am in the 40km and a further 12 riders at 9am for the 15km.

Maci Brownrigg riding Shoo Fly was first across the line completing the 80km in 5hours and 38min the 80km, to win the Oss Foley Memorial Shield. They also were 1st Junior and won the best Conditioned Junior Horse Award. Deb Wyllie on Beer Street Aslan TB won middleweight and BC, whilst Asha Lamprey riding Ra-Anji Ragnar was 1st Lightweight and also winning BC. The overall completion rate was 80%, with lameness the cause of all 5 vet outs. It was promising to see 7 junior rider entered, and all successfully complete the 80km. Massive congratulations to Zak Neilley successfully completing his first 80km.

Well done to the OFMR committee, the volunteers, Kentish SES and sponsors for making the event possible.
