At the first Rylstone-Kandos Show on 14 April 1937 Miss Neata Pitt won the award for best lady rider over 18. The Mudgee Guardian wrote these congratulatory comments: “This talented young lady added further to her wonderful successes by annexing the ‘Dixon Cup’ and gave a fine performance of horsemanship”.
I dare say quite a few readers will recognise that young lady, who is now Neata Keech, still living, seventy six years later, on the outskirts of Rylstone.

Four things about me. I like reading, writing, researching and living in the country. In particular I like living at Kandos, where we have been for more than a decade. I have deep roots in this part of the country. My mother spent her early life in Kandos. My father was born at Rylstone. My grandparents were pioneers of Kandos and Rylstone. And I was born at Lue - and went to school in Mudgee. The history of this area excites me and I would like to share it with you.
Currently I am writing fortnightly blogs. If you "Follow" and give your email address the blogs will be automatically sent to you.
