Tetrathlon - from Nicky Collins

Hi Candy

Please could you circulate for me.

It would be good to have a few more entries for the Mid Surrey TET on Sun 23rd April. Riding can be done on Sat 22nd as an option.

So far I have:
Class 8 (8&under on day if show) 
Arabella Goodwin (jumping on 22nd)
Florence Goodwin (jumping on 22nd)

Need at least one more for a team. Great fun!

Class 4 (mini boys)
Ethan Collins

There are Tri classes for all ages if siblings wish to compete but not ride. These classes are also good for children without a suitable pony.

This a very friendly event and the jumps aren't big at all. Alternative options available on XC. Younger classes ride in arena.

All replies and for more information please contact Nicky Collins, nicky.collins@waitrose.com , 07710 086126.

Ride & Road Safety

To all PC members




Ride & Road Safety



 

With spring and summer fast approaching (yay) tests begin to take place. Pony club recently have made several changes to what is required before you can take some tests. One change is to when ride and road safety awards are taken. 


 

If you are starting out and are looking to take your D test the mini achievement badge is required. 

 

In order to take the C test children who have completed their D+ need to take (and pass) their Road Safety achievement badge.


All awards will involve an unmounted session, mounted training and then for the achievement badge (not mini), a test. 


 

If your child needs to complete these awards please contact me so I can compile a list. 


 

We have 2 dates secured and places will be limited so please get forms and payment back to me asap. 

 

Wednesday 12th April - Afternoon @ South Brockwells Farm, Nr Lewes.

 

Tuesday 30th May - Morning @ Vixengrove Farm, Chailey.
