Besluiteregister soos geneem te Out Of Nature op die 27 Junie 2015.
Council's decisions as taken at Out of Nature on the 27 June 2015.
Vind aangeheg die finale Nera 2105 Ritkalender asook die Nera 2015 Koste Uiteesetting.
Betreffende die FEi ritte het die Raad die besluit geneem dat die Raad nie langer Nera fondse kan gebruik ten einde die FEi ritte te subsidieer nie, dit is net eenvoudig te duur.
Die FEi kostes wat die Raad tans moet dra is ongeveer N$ 150 000.00 per jaar. Ten einde dit te betaal moes ons ten minste 100 ruiters kry wat bereid is om N$ 1500 addsioneel te betaal vir die FEi. Die meningsopname het duidelik getoon dat ons nie oor die aantal ruiters beskik nie.
Gevolglik val die N$ 1500 .00 addisionele FEi fooi weg.
Die gelde wat aan die FEI oorbetaal moet word ten einde die ritte op die FEi Kalender te plaas en te registreer is ongeveer N$ 10 000.00 per FEI rit.
Een klub, Otjivero, die drie Noorde Klubs asook die Walvisbaai Organiserende Komitee het onderneem om die N$ 10 000.00 FEi gelde self te betaal en FEi ritte in 2015 aan te bied.
Die Klubs sal dit aan Nera betaal en Nera sal dit oorbetaal aan die FEi.
Gevolglik hoef die ruiters dit nie te betaal nie.
Nera sal vier FEi ritte in 2015 aanbied, naamlik;
21 Februarie Sandune 1* Otjivero
21 Maart Gobabis 1*, 2** en 3 ***
16 May Bergen Bergen 1 *
26 August Walvis Bay 1* & 2 **
Alle Ruiters betaal dus net die Nera Affliasiefooi van N$ 1 200 of N$ 600 om aan die Nera deel te neem.
Ruiters wat dan ook aan die FEI ritte wil deelneem betaal dan net addisioneel die FEI registrasiegelde van N$ 300 per perd en per ruiter en dan kan die kombinasie aan FEi ritte deel neem.
Lees asb die skrywe saam met die aanghegde kosteblad wat die verskillende Nera kostes uiteensit.
Committee Decisions 8 November 2014
Met die Raadsvergadering gehou op 8 November is die volgende besluit rakende FEI ritte vir 2015. Die koste verbonde aan die registrasie en aanbied van FEI ritte kos vir NERA jaarliks in die omgewing van N$200 000.00 waarvan NERA van die lede ongeveer N$50 000.00 verhaal en die oorblywende deel van N$150 000.00 moet uit NERA reserwes en kruissubsidiering betaal word. Hierdie geweldige koste bring mee dat lede op die einde daarvoor moet instaan deur ho�r ledegeld te betaal as wanneer NERA nie FEI ritte sou aanbied nie. Die Raad het dus nou besluit om FEI kostes af te wentel na die lede wat wel nog FEI ritte wil ry in die toekoms.
With the Council meeting held on 8 November the following was decided regarding FEI rides for 2015. The costs due to affiliation and the hosting of FEI rides cost NERA in the region of N$200 000.00 per year of which N$50 000.00 is received from the members. The rest of the N$150 000.00 has to come from NERA reserves. These high costs have the result that all members of NERA eventually have to stand in for these costs in the form of high yearly registration fees. Council has now decided that the FEI costs will now be covered by members who still want to participate in FEI rides.
Daar is tans 'n w�reldwye neiging om al minder FEI ritte aan te bied a.g.v. die geweldige ho� kostes daaraan verbonde. Die gedagte is dat NERA nog steeds geaffilieer bly by die FEI via NAMEF, en om die FEI re�ls en standaarde te behou.
Ons versoek asb. Al ons lede om deur middel van eposse na die onderskeie klubvoorsitters, vir ons 'n aanduiding te gee sou u belangstel om FEI te ry in 2015 al dan nie.
There is a worldwide tendency for nations not to do FEI rides anymore due to the high costs of registering and hosting. The idea is that NERA will still be affiliated with the FEI via NAMEF and the FEI standards and rules will still apply.
We ask all members to please respond via their clubs whether NERA should do FEI rides in 2015 or not.
- Dit is nie meer nodig vir 'n ruiter om FEI geregistreer te wees om aan die twee jaarlikse kompetisies tussen Namibi� en SA deel te neem nie. Dit is nou op die NERA Walvisbaai rit en die ERASA SAIC ritte.
- It is not necessary anymore for a rider to be FEI registered to participate in the twice yearly competitions between Namibia and South Africa.
- NERA sal nog steeds onder die FEI se re�ls uithouritte aanbied.
- NERA will still be hosting rides under the FEI ride rules.
- Indien 'n ruiter wel nog FEI ritte wil ry sal sodanige lid N$1500.00 addisionele affliasiegelde moet betaal ten einde die Raad in staat te stel om die FEI kostes te kan verhaal en daar moet ten minste 100 ruiters registreer ten einde die FEI kostes te delg. Sodanige lede se totale NERA affiliasiegeld sal dus N$2 700.00 per jaar wees, terwyl die nie FEI lid se affiliasiegeld N$1200.00 sal wees. Indien 'n ruiter besluit om FEI te ry, sal jy skriftelik 'n onderneming moet teken dat jy wel vir die koste van die FEI verantwoordelik sal wees. Die affiliasiegelde is betaalbaar in Januarie of afbetaalbaar oor drie maande tot einde Maart in gelyke paaiemente.
- Should a rider still want to participate in FEI rides, the yearly registration fee will be N$1500.00 to be paid extra to enable Council to meet the high costs of the FEI. At least 100 riders should register for this to be feasible. These members will pay a total of N$2700.00 per year while the rider not doing FEI rides will only pay N$1200.00 per year. Should a rider wish to register for the FEI rides, they will be required to sign an agreement with Council that they will be responsible for the FEI fees for the year. Affiliation fees will be payable in January or in equal parts over 3 months until the end of March.
- Indien daar minder as 100 ruiters is wat FEI wil ry sal NERA nie ritte vir 2015 by die FEI registreer nie. Dit is dus baie belangrik dat elkeen sy opinie na sy klubvoorsitter deurgee of na die NERA kantoor. Ons moet teen eerskomende Woensdag 19 November 'n antwoord h� aangesien ons nog die ritte moet registreer indien die meerderheid voel hulle wil nog CEI ritte ry. Indien die Raad nie bevestiging kry van die 100 FEI lede nie, en dus nie FEI ritte registreer nie, mag 'n klub wel besluit om 'n FEI rit aan te bied deur die FEI gelde vir daardie rit aan die Raad oor te betaal. 'n 1* FEI rit se koste is ongeveer N$10 000.00 teen huidige wisselkoerse. Sodanige lede moet net in gedagte hou dat die FEI ruiter (N$300) en FEI perd (N$300) registrasiegelde ook nog van toepassing is.
Should there be less than 100 riders wishing to do FEI rides in 2015, NERA will not register any rides for 2015. It is thus important that every rider give us an opinion either to the club chairman or to the NERA office. We have to know by Wednesday 19 November as we still have to register rides with the FEI should the majority vote for CEI rides. Clubs are free to register FEI rides on their own, but will be responsible for the registration fee to the FEI which is in the region of N$10 000.00 for a CEI* ride. Members should also bear in mind that horse and rider registration fees of N$300 each are also still applicable when doing FEI rides.
Indien 'n lid nie FEI ry nie hoef jy en jou perd nie geregistreer te wees nie.
Please study the new NERA pricelist
Committee Decisions - 10 May 2014
Committee Decisions - 16 November 2013
Hiermee die Raadsbesluite soos geneem op ons vergadering van 16 November 2013.
Council decisions taken at our meeting of 16 November 2013
'n Mosie van Gelukwensing aan die Schanskraalspan (Hannelie Coetzee, Sarina Bosch, Sam Kriel, Alice Krenz, Susan Badenhorst) wat die 160km 3* FEI Spankompetisie tussen Suid Afrika, New Zealand en Namibi� gewen het. Ons is geweldig trots op ons ruiters wat bereid was om op kort kennisgewing aan hierdie strawwe kompetisie te gaan deelneem.
Die Raad het ook 'n mosie van medelye aanvaar vir die Du Preez familie met die heengaan van Francois du Preez van Suid Afrika wat 'n goeie vriend van NERA en al die ruiters in Namibi� was.
A motion of congratulations to the Schanskraal team (Hannelie Coetzee, Sarina Bosch, Sam Kriel, Alice Krenz, Susan Badenhorst) that won the 160km 3* FEI team competition against South Africa, New Zealand and Namibia. We are very proud of our riders who competed in this very challenging competition at very short notice.
The NERA council would also like to express our condolences to the family of Francois du Preez from South Africa who died tragically of a heart attack this week.
Shanie het die FEI kongres in Switzerland bygewoon en ons het die goeie nuus dat die huidige �Group 9� FEI paspoorte dieselfde sal bly vir CEI* en CEI** ritte in die Groep 9 Lande. Die goedkeuring is reeds voorlopig aan Groep 9 lande gemaak en spesifiek aan Namibie en SA en sal amptelik goedgekeur word by die volgende FEI vergadering op 9 Februarie 2014 te Lucerne, Switserland. Ruiters wat aan 'n CEI*** wil deelneem sal 'n FEI omslag ten bedrae van �n eenmalige N$ 2,000.00 moet koop by die FEI wat dan om die huidige �Groep 9� paspoort gesit moet word Hierdie omslag is te koop by Nera by ons FEI beampte, Shanie Fourie.
Shanie attended the FEI congress in Switzerland. We did receive the good news that the FEI agreed that our current Group 9 FEI passports will still be accepted for CEI* and CEI** rides within the Group 9 area. This commitment was made especially to the Namibian and SA delegation and it will be officially approved at the next FEI meeting scheduled for 9 February 2014 at Lucerne. Only CEI*** rides will require a special FEI cover. This FEI cover can be purchased from our FEI official, Shanie, at a once-off cost of N$ 2,000.00. At present there is no indication that such a cover has to be renewed at any stage.
Die FEI beveel sterk aan dat Novice ritte in volgorder gery word van eers die korter novice afstande en dan die langer afstande, maar dit is nie n FEI vereiste nie. Novice ritte mag dus in enige volgorde gery word, soos verwoord in die FEI reels.
The FEI strongly recommends novice distances be ridden from the shorter to the longer distances, but it is not a standing rule. Novice qualification distance may therefore be ridden in any way.
Die name, NERA, Namibia Endurance Ride Association en Namibia Endurance word almal as korrek aanvaar.
The names NERA, Namibia Endurance Ride Association and Namibia Endurance are accepted as correct.
Net NERA volopbetaalde lede mag korporatiewe lidmaatskap uitneem.
Korporatiewe lidmaatskap sal net op die betrokke lid se perde van toepassing wees. (Mag net vir daardie lid se perde gebruik word)
Korporatiewe lidmaatskap het nie stemreg nie.
Only NERA fully paid up members may take out corporate membership.
Corporate membership will only be available to the active member's horses.
Corporate membership has no vote.
Opbetaalde Nera lede vanaf die ouderdom van 18 jaar het stemreg en mag die AJV bywoon.
Fully paid Nera members from the age of 18 have a vote and may attend the AGM.
Kinderruiters sal van nou af plek toekennings kry ongeag in watter groep en of tyd hulle wegspring. Die afgelope jaar het kinder ruiters by sommige klubs net �n "voltooi / completion� sertifikaat ontvang.
Child riders will now receive placing certificates irrespective of the group and / or time of departure. During the last year only completion certificates were issued to child riders at certain clubs.
Fooie vir 2014 is nie verhoog nie.
Fees will not increase for 2014

Die Raad het alle afstande oopgemaak op FEI ritte, vir Nera ruiters wat aan die FEI rit en afstand wil deelneem, maar wat nie in die FEI kategorie wil deelneem nie. Vir Nera ruiters wat aan die NERA afstand soortgelyk as die FEI afstand wil deelneem is �n nuwe prysstruktuur bepaal wat ho�r is as die gewone Nera Klubritgelde, maar wat laer is as die FEI ritgelde. Ruiters wat die FEI afstande as NERA ruiters wil ry moet aan al die FEI kwalifikasies voldoen ten opsigte novice kwalifikasies, afstande voltooi, ouderdom van perde asook spuite.
The Council has decided to open all distances at FEI rides for Nera riders who wish not to compete in the FEI category. For such riders a new price structure was proposed and accepted with higher than normal NERA Club Ride fees, but lower than the FEI fees. NERA riders competing at CEI rides will be expected to conform to CEI/FEI rules and regulations as well as ensuring that their horses conform with the FEI novice rules and regulations with regards to completed distances, speed, horse age, up to date vaccinations and any other FEI rule that may apply.

Die Raad het op ons onlangse vergadering besluit om die 30km kwessie na die AJV te verwys vir verdere bespreking deur die lede.
There was decided by Council to award riders who have completed more than 10 Walvis Bay rides.  To receive such an award please forward proof the rides -  which can be either copies of the certificates or a copy of your rider book.
Council has also decided to refer the 30km rides as a point of discussion to the AGM at Walvis Bay.
The following points were discussed at the NERA Coucil Meeting of 11/5/2011.
-  30km Riders should have proof of a horse sickness vaccination   when participating.  This can be given by the owner himself but proof needs to be given that the horse was injected.  This rule has been implemented due to the high incidence of Horse sickness in Namibia.
-  An invitational team will be sent to Fauresmith.  Jan Fourie will be the team manager. Entry fees will be sponsored by SA.
-  The Katjapia ride of 28 May has been cancelled due to horse sickness
-  No 30km rides will be allowed at * and ** CEI rides.
-  The Junior World Championship will take place in Abu Dhabi in December. Riders interested should contact Annette.
The following decisions were taken at the AGM in Walvis Bay
-  The Financial Statements of NERA will be mailed to all members after being approved by
-  It was decided that each OC of a ride can decide whether they want to give a discount to
riders who enter more than 4 horses for a ride.
-  Clubs should adhere to the colors of the loops as they have always been.
-  Team members riding for the National Team will be informed before the start of
competition whether they are in the team of the day or not.
-  In principle it was decided that the Walvis Bay ride will stay in Walvis Bay and not
-  The 2 x 30km rides will remain.  For any ride shorter than 40km a rider does not have to
be a member of a club, no vaccinations are required for the horse and no books are
required.  The rider will however pay the entry fee of the day and adhere to the rules of
NERA.  This is done to make the sport more accessible for new riders.
The problem with vaccinations that have to be done by a veterinarian will be taken up with the Veterinary Council of Namibia, by Mike to verify whether a medical practitioner may sign off the vaccination.

Welfare of the horse. OC's are requested to supervise this at club rides.
