Lindy Wright Memorial Foundation

Angela Yeend, Tuesday, 9 March 2010

Nominations are now being accepted for the inaugural Lindy Wright memorial award.

LINDY WRIGHT MEMORIAL FOUNDATION

 

The Trustees are pleased to announce that this Foundation is now functional!

The initial Trustees are Ned Wright, Susan Thornley, Liz Duncan, Robyn Stokes, Nicki Wight, Peter Oborn & Kerry Mack [Vic].

 

The Foundation is somewhat similar in concept to the Anna Savage Memorial Foundation, which gives a Medal & a money prize to a “Best & Fairest” in Three Day Eventing, as well as making substantial donations to other organizations. We would like to publicly thank Scott Donner for his help in getting our organization off the ground.

 

The Lindy Wright Memorial Foundation will award a Medal & a money prize each year to a “Quiet Achiever, promoting excellence in Dressage in South Australia”.   The award winner will be selected from nominations received from the dressage community, and will be chosen using the information supplied about each of the criteria on the nomination form.  This is not an award for excellence in competition performance alone, although current and past performance will count, but for a rider or other dressage person who contributes to many aspects of the sport of dressage in South Australia.

 

This Award will be presented at the Country Dressage Championships, with the first Award in April 2010. Donations to other dressage-related causes will be considered in due course.

 

Ned Wright has very kindly offered a substantial sum of money to start us off [thank you Ned!!], & we would ask any & all riders to contribute to this worthwhile cause. Cash or cheques may be given to any of the Trustees [a receipt will be issued by the Treasurer], or a direct debit may be made through the

 

 ANZ Bank Stirling       BSB  015 367   A/C No        5278 67241

              

 [Please make sure we know who has made the deposit]. All donations will be acknowledged publicly unless you wish to remain anonymous.

 

Please use the associated form to nominate anyone you consider worthy!!

A direct benefit to the horse community and your riding club

Providing Support to the Horse Community

Nature Vet Direct was formed to give horse owners online access to an unparalleled range of equine products and services, and to provide support to the horse community through the creation of valuable strategic partnerships with major equine organisations throughout Australia.

We have selected our best selling OTC (Over The Counter) products for you and your club members to purchase at competitive prices online, delivered to your door. These products range from Ammo Allwormer to Cosequin Equine and include our large range of specialty supplements.

Nature Vet Direct is also proud to bring a selection of quality clothing, saddlecloths and accessories specially designed for the horse enthusiasts who want to look smart and support their club

What’s in it for your Club?

Nature Vet Direct will return 15% of all website product sales to the horse community by way of cash contributions to Equestrian SA, Pony Club Australia and associate clubs.

Every quarter these contributions or profit shares will be allocated to the nominated Equestrian SA, PCA or associations’ account to be used for Club Development Grants for individual clubs requiring funding. As an example, you may need more show jumps or you may need sponsorship money to run your next event.  You can nominate your club for the Club Development Grant so they receive a percentage of the profit share.

How does it work?

When your club members register at www.naturevetdirect.com.au they can select Equestrian SA, Pony Club Australia or an Association to nominate where their 15% goes.  If a Nature Vet Direct new member does not want to give their percentage to a club they can donate it to a selection of horse welfare organisations Nature Vet Direct has alliances with.

How to become involved?

Nature Vet Direct is FREE to ALL clubs and associations across Australia.
