The organisers of this event hope to maintain the 'friendly competition' (or should that be 'competitive friendly'?) format that they enjoyed at the inaugural competition last year.

 

Please get all entry details & cheques to me asap. Five Acres, Theobalds Road, Burgess Hill, W Sx, RH15 0SX.

Junior campers!

Please could all those that attended Junior Camp at Town Place, either as a camper or helper, please double check they have the correct hat.

The "mislaid" hat is a new Charles Owen size 56 with a white hat tag - however left behind was a Champion size 1.5 with a purple hat tag at the rear.  Both hats had black silks and could easily have been picked up by mistake.

Please could you all recheck your childs hats so the above hats can be reunited with their rightful owners, especially as the owner of the Charles Owen hat does not have a hat to ride in!

Many thanks

Pony for loan

*** FOR FULL LOAN

Name: Tango 
Colour: chestnut roan
Gender: mare
Height: 13.2hh
Age: 21
Breed: welsh X

Tango is a super pony who is looking for a new loan home, Very kind and safe, not spooky but she can be strong so needs a confident rider. She has given me loads of fun and confidence in all disciplines- showjumping, cross country, dressage and hunting!! But now I have sadly outgrown her and need to move onto horses. 
Hacks alone or in company going first or last. Excellent in the heaviest traffic, good to shoe, box (trailer or lorry), catch (comes when called) .
Safe in open fields and will happily canter alongside others. Jumps fillers and basically everything.
Very easy at shows.

Happy for her to move yards but would like her to stay in East Sussex so I can come visit. Comes with all tack,rugs, etc

Area Dressage Report from Xanthe Fairhead

Our thanks to Xanthe for sending in a report and some pictures.  We're always please to receive news from members - more please!!  Congratulations to our members too.

Mike


On the 5th of July two teams of brilliant Southdown Hunt East members competed at the area dressage competition.  We took two teams - Alice Reffin, Chloe Fry and Sophie Duffield made up the Gold team; Xanthe Fairhead, Francesca Fairhead, Eleanor Reffin and Livvy Logan made up the Navy team. Everyone was amazing and really supportive of each other and because of this we had some great results.  Sophie finished 5th, Chloe also did very well coming 6th and Alice 8th.   As a combined effort, the whole team finished a very creditable 5th out of 26 teams.   Well done!!   Although the Navy team didn't get placed everyone did brilliantly; Cesca was on a new horse and it was his 3rd ever test, Livvy did really well on a borrowed pony, Eleanor came an excellent 3rd, and I was amazed to discover that Louis and I had won our arena and qualified for the championships as an individual though unfortunately I won't be able to make the finals.   There was a really good team atmosphere and all the mums made a combined effort to create the best picnic ever.   We were very lucky to have Polly Thom (with baby Florence) and Anne Cook there to support us.   Thank you everyone for a lovely day and can't wait to see you at camp.
