Lock these dates in your diary because the final events of 2026 are officially locked in — and they’ll come around faster than our little speed riders flying through a jump night round 🐴💨

We cannot wait for more fun, more excitement, more late-night laughs and of course, plenty more ribbons and prizes along the way ✨

See you there!

🤍 Happy Mother’s Day to the incredible CPEC mums, grandmothers, step mums and horsey mother figures 🐴✨

The ones arriving before sunrise with coffees in hand, holding horses, plaiting manes, finding missing gloves, calming nervous riders and somehow keeping the entire day running smoothly 💁‍♀️💨

You are groom, chauffeur, strapper, photographer, snack provider, therapist, financial sponsor… and often the reason many of us get to do what we love ❤️

Whether you’re standing ringside at a competition, helping at pony club, cheering from the warm-up or simply supporting from home — thank you for everything you do for our riders, our horses and our community.

And for those mums no longer with us, but still felt in every early morning, every ribbon and every ride — today we celebrate you too 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at CPEC Members Club ❤️

Suzy Jarrett has written countless stories over the years capturing the people, horses and history that make our sport so special — and this beautiful piece on John Leckie is no exception. 🤍🐴

For so many at CPEC, John is part of the fabric of our centre. His knowledge, horsemanship and contribution to the equestrian community span generations, and this article is a wonderful reminder of the rich history that exists within our gates.

Take a moment to have a read and learn more about John’s incredible career and the legacy of one of CPEC’s true horsemen ✨

It takes a special horseman to personify the unique equestrian hub that is steeped in Sydney’s riding history, and that horseman is Milton John Leckie.

In loving memory of Sigrid Schaerf, founder and owner of Papillon Riding Stables, whose extraordinary contribution to our centre spanned more than 30 years.

As one of the centre’s longstanding licence holders, Sigrid was not only a constant presence at CPEC, but a cornerstone of its community. Through Papillon, she created a place of learning, care and connection for generations of riders and horses, always guided by deep knowledge, dedication and genuine kindness. Her commitment to her clients, her horses and the life of the centre helped shape the culture we value so strongly today.

Sigrid’s legacy is woven into the history of this place and will continue to live on through Papillon and the many people whose lives she influenced.

May her memory always remain part of our centre 🕊️

We are incredibly proud to share that Milton “John” Leckie has been awarded Honorary Life Membership with the CPEC Members Club 🤍

There are many who support a club, but only a rare few who shape its very existence. John is one of those people.

Long before we had a Members Club to call our own, it was John’s unwavering belief, quiet determination and steadfast advocacy that helped turn possibility into reality. Through his efforts, the Royal Agricultural Society entrusted the keys to the Trust, allowing for permanent borders and laying the foundation for the home we now enjoy every day. Without John, there would be no club as we know it, and likely no centre at all.

What makes this contribution so remarkable is not just what John did, but how he did it, with humility, generosity and a genuine care for the people and horses that make up our community.

As John steps back following an extraordinary career of over 50 years in business, we take this moment to recognise the profound and lasting impact he has had on CPEC. The environment we ride in, the community we belong to, and the opportunities we now have all carry his imprint.

Honorary Life Membership is a small gesture in comparison to what he has given, but it is offered with sincere appreciation and respect.

Please join us in celebrating John, and in thanking him for the legacy he has created for our club 🤍
