Email: marilyn.costigan@hotmail.com
Marilyn joined the Maryborough Active Riders Club in 1977, the year after its inception.
"I met a couple who had started the local Active Riders Club, Clem and Andy Kelly, when I first moved to Maryborough from Charleville and mentioned to them that we had a couple of ponies that my children rode in Pony Club and that I was interested in learning to ride". They encouraged me to come along to Active Riders on my kids pony and so began the long road to where I am now with my wonderful mare, Maggie (Indigo Girl) who is competing in Dressage at Elementary level and training at Medium. Maggie was an eventer and show jumper when I purchased her in 2006.
Over the years I have held just about every position on the committee of M.A.R.C. President for 12 years, Secretary for 3 years, Treasurer for 1 year, Newsletter Editor for 3 years and Dressage Convenor for 30 years.
