Riders Saddle Up For Patrol

The City of Casey is getting back in the saddle to host its 22nd Riding of the Bounds on 1 May.

Horse riders will gather to honour a tradition begun in Casey's sister city, Berwick Upon Tweed in the UK, more than 500 years ago. Dozens of riders on horse back and horse-drawn vehicles will join City of Casey Mayor Shar Balmes on the eight kilometre ride through Casey's most countryside, to inspect the boundary between Casey and Cardinia. At the conclusion of the ride, there will be a barbecue lunch and an awards ceremony. The Riding of the Bounds will start at Akoonah Park, Berwick, with registrations from 8am. The ride will commence at 10 am. Early bird registration fees are $5 for Individuals, $15 for families $40 for groups, minimum of 10 riders. For more information contact City of Casey Customer Service on 9705 5200. All riders who participate in the event must wear an Australian-approved equestrian safety helmet for safety. {sidebar id=3}with categories including Champion Rider, Mayor's Choice and Best Presented Group.
