******CALLING ALL POTENTIAL FIRST TIME SENIOR CAMPERS ******

The invitation below from Stuart is hopefully in good time to place the date in your diary.  The camp invitation and booking instructions e-mail will be sent shortly.

Mike


Hi All,

 

This year we thought we would repeat that apparent success of last year by holding another a pre Senior Camp meeting.

 

The purpose of this meeting is that we want to be able to provide the opportunity for our new members and our potential first time campers to get an overview of what Senior camp life and activities are all about.

 

Based on last year's attendance there were a lot of first time campers and we are expecting the same again this year. Realising that for many, this will be the first time away from home without parents we wanted to try and give you an idea of what to expect. Hopefully, the benefit of this meeting will help you make an informed decision as to whether Camp is up your street.

 

Even if you came to Camp last year for the first time and you would like to revisit the routine you are more than welcome.

 

The meeting will be held at Plumpton Racecourse in The Paddock Bar on Tuesday 21st February. 7.15pm for 7.30 start. There will be light refreshments available and maybe a piece of cake or two floating around.  There's a map attached to show where the meeting will be held which might help if you have never visited the racecourse before.

 

It is intended that the evening will take the format of an introduction to the staff and overview of Camp life followed by a short Q & A session.

 

We would very much like an idea of numbers so if you are able to attend could I ask that you drop a line to stuart.fellingham@ntlworld.com confirming you attendance.

 

Look forward to hearing from and meeting you all shortly.

 

Kind regards

 

Stuart & The Senior Camp Team

Ardingly thankyou

I would just like to thank everyone who helped at Ardingly at the weekend. I know some of you got rather wet!  We had a great two days with a lot of our members competing with excellent results.  As Candy has already said   the funds we raise go towards subsidising rallies and camps and also buying new equipment but we cant run our events without your help so please make a note of our future dates and support the branch.  Many thanks.  Anne  

Ardingly last weekend

Well it was cold, wet, windy, icy and with remnants of snow but that did not stop SDHE members coming to represent their branch at our 2 day jumping show at Ardingly over the weekend.

Saturday saw the mini mini and mini team and scurry classes with a hotly contested mini/major relay for a bit of fun.

In the mini mini scurry George McCaldin riding Roo finished in 2nd place, with Arabella Goodwin riding Humbug in 3rd and Daisy Burgess riding Eaglehurst Batman in 4th out of just under 40 starters -  well done to you all.

Our mini mini "blue" team came 5th out of 11 teams (Daisy Burgess – Eaglehurst Batman, Jess McCaldin – Daisy, Emily Allardyce Bassett – Ellie, Lily Musson – Madam) and our "red" team came 6th (Arabella Goodwin – Humbug, George McCaldin – Roo, Maddie Owen – Daisy, Florence Goodwin – Jack).

There were 15 pairs and a very impressive performance from Jess and George McCaldin won them the class, with Theo and Ethan Collins finishing in 4th.

The mini scurry had 40 starters and Anna Currie and the gorgeous Parsley went one better than last year and won the class!  Tilly Appleyard and Malones Mate were runners up – well done girls!

The mini "green" team of Ethan Collins riding Matley Tizza, Rhianna Hawkins riding Monty, Charlotte Subedar riding Blarney and Ella Currie riding Prince finished in 6th place out of 9 teams.  Our "yellow" team were not placed but consisted of: Anna Curry riding Parsley, Jack Pincus riding Panda, Lily Taylor Martin riding Forest Fire and Tilly Appleyard riding Malones Mate.

Sunday….. more ice, lots of rain, freezing cold…… Keep smiling!

The small novice class with an individual incorporated had 13 teams but sadly none of our members were placed. It was a hotly contested class and nobody disgraced themselves, just an unlucky day in testing conditions.

The Debut Dengie (new class for the season) was very popular with around 50 starters. Although our members were out of the ribbons, there were some really good rounds and fast too.

The Novice team and individual had 12 teams with our team finishing in 5th place. Charlie Pincus riding Ollie was elected jump off for the placings, and headed the team of Jess Fry – Dan, Abigail Johnson – Oscar and Chloe Macdonald – Tricks.

The Winter League Dengie had 40 starters, with 7 members entered but not in the placings.

There was not an Intermediate team but Tallulah Haycock and Dolly finished in 3rd place as an individual.

The Puissance had 10 starters and after 5 rounds, 3 riders shared 1st place with Katie Vaughan and Dooncaha Ranger being one of them, clearing the wall at 1/40mt!

 

Despite the disgusting weather the show was a great success for the branch.  Huge thanks go to ALL that helped over the weekend as it is these events that raise funds for our branch and subsidise rallies and the camps, all of which our members enjoy going to.

Help is always much needed, even an hour is fantastic and you do get fed and watered! It is also fun. Please support your branch this year and pop the following dates into your diary so you can both compete and help. Without help, we can't run events and without events we would not be able to keep costs down.

Sunday 14th May – Hunter Trial at Wiveldsen Farm

Sunday 11th June – One Day Event at Wivelsden Farm

Sunday 16th July – Branch Show at Plumpton Racecourse

Sunday 10th September  - Hunter Trial at Wivelsden Farm

Sunday 24th September – Mini One Day Event at Wivelsden Farm

Requests for help and the type of help needed will be circulated nearer the event – please help!

 

More Interbranch competitions will be circulated very shortly.

pony wanted on loan


WANTED On LOAN a 13:2-14hh pony
We are searching for a genuine first pony for our 11yr old daughter. The pony would be kept at our small yard, behind our house, in Plumpton. Hannah is a quiet & confident rider but, for the sanity of her parents, she requires a kind & sensible pony! We already have a very knowledgeable livery owner at our yard and Hannah receives regular lessons (currently on privately owned pony club pony) so we are well supported.
Hannah wishes to do pony club activities and Grassroots SJ for her school.
Please phone Stephanie on  07769977055 or email stephaniebutler14@gmail.com

wanted - trailer on loan


Wanted - trailer on loan


This may sound a bit mad but I have been successfully loaning a trailer for the last 2 years as the owner didn't want to sell it but she also knew that she wouldn't be using it for a while and she didn't want it sitting there not being used. So she lent it to me (with a full loan agreement) - I was responsible for its upkeep and servicing and it was mine to use but on the proviso that it would be returned within a day's notice.  The owner bought herself a new horse at the beginning of December so the trailer went back as agreed.


I would love to buy myself a trailer but have very limited funds - does anyone out there have a trailer that they use very little but don't want to sell and would be willing to loan out?  I promise to take the utmost care of it, have it regularly serviced and keep it clean and tidy.  The benefits to you is that your trailer gets regular use (which as we all know is better for trailers than sitting there doing nothing for months on end) and free servicing but remains your property so you can have it back at any time.
