LRC manages the agistment of Horses on Breakout Creek, River Torrens, as well as fighting to keep a horse presence with the planned wetland project
The Lockleys Riding Club was initially formed by our current patron Mrs Betty Eastgate in the 1970's to lease land from the Lockleys Oval Trust to use for horse riding. In 1984 as part of the Linear Park development the members of the club who were agisting horses on the river decided to incorporate the club to manage the lease of Breakout Creek for horse agistment. In the 1980's LRC hosted several horse shows on Lockleys Oval which were always popular in the horse community. Today, the club still operates as a not for profit agistment management group, supporting members who agist their horses. All horses are privately owned, and agisted at the cost of the individual owners. For owners to gain an agistment position, they must apply to the Club. As horse numbers are limited for land management purposes, the club maintains a waiting list for these applications. As always, we appreciate the support of the local and wider community in maintaining the agistment of horses at Breakout Creek. This area provides an unparalleled facility which promotes horse riding, well being and healthy activities in the Western Adelaide suburbs. You may be aware that with the Wetland developments that have occurred already our agistment area has been made significantly smaller despite attempts to have the horses coexist with the wetlands. As Stage 3 of this development is now being planned we will be fighting for a coexisting arrangement to maintain a horse presence on Breakout Creek for all of our community to continue to enjoy. Thank you all for your continued support, it is greatly appreciated. We will continue to keep you up to date with any developments. Your feedback and suggestions are also gratefully received. Regards

This morning Club President Megan chatted to ABC Adelaide’s Troy Sincock and Rory McClaren about the deliberate damage to club facilities in the horse paddocks (the horses are ok!)
Listen to it here:
Vandals flood new Lockleys Riding Club horse paddocks at West Beach - ABC listen After relocating for four years while Breakout Creek was being developed, Lockleys Riding Club Horses returned in July. Two months later, vandals have put a damper on things.

Sadly the horses paddocks have been vandalised overnight, with the water troughs damaged and overflowing water, and the sprinkler system turned on, wasting an awful lot of mains water.
The horses are well.
The damage was first detected at 6am this morning - Tuesday 15 September, if you saw anything suspicious overnight please report it to South Australia Police report number: SAP2600240859
