Woodhill Sands Equestrian Centre
Update on Woodhill Sands operations at Level 3.
With the announcement that Auckland will stay at Alert Level 3 lockdown until the 26th of August it is with much disappointment we advise the following event cancellations:
15th August - Dressage Waitemata Training day (Dressage Waitemata is advising those entered directly)
16th August - Waitemata SJ Auckland Installation Winter Day 3 (Waitemata Show Jumping is advising those entered directly)
19th August - Woodhill Sands Open Day
22 & 23 August - Prydes EasiFeed GP SJ Show
26 August - Woodhill Sands Open Day
The next announcement in relation to Alert Level changes will be on the 26th of August (with an interim review on the 21st). Given the approach the government has taken in the past as we move between alert levels we have suspended entries for our shows 29th & 30th August (Outpost Buildings SH & Dressage festival) and the 5th and 6th September (Peninsula Medical GP SJ Show) until we know more - note these shows are not cancelled at this stage.
Our team will continue to maintain the property to keep it looking great and ready to get going again and we are busy planning a number of ideas to develop some exciting events to kick start the season again (within any necessary restrictions) when we are able to be open. We really appreciate all the messages of support we've received and how keen everyone is to get started in their build up to a great season and to support such an important local venue.
Stay safe and well, be kind and check back in with us for further updates - we're really looking forward to seeing you soon!
