The season of shows is fast approaching us and therefore we will be offering a block of 3 rallies to cover WHP classes. As you know we offer these classes at our branch show and they are available at other competitions. Although attendance in these classes is noticeably fewer over the past few years. Therefore we'd like to introduce you to this discipline as not only does your horse/pony need to perform well on the flat, they also have to perform well in hand and jumping a course of natural fences. There is an art to this and we are hoping over the 3 sessions we will be able to teach you and your pony that art.
The sessions are on the Thursday evenings on the 18th, 25th May and 1st June from 5.00PM to 6.00pm at South Brockwells Farm, Little Horsted. Michelle is the instructor who spent many years competing and producing top class WHP.
18th May 2017 - Flat and in-hand
This session will work on trotting your pony up in-hand so you show the best parts of your pony to the judge. Learning to make you pony stand correctly and producing a good show.
25th May 2017 - jumping phase
Going over what was learnt on session 1 and riding the natural fences. Again learning how best for you and your pony to ride the course to gain maximum marks. As this section gains the most points out of the 3 phases.
1st June 2017 - Completion of all 3 phases
Run through of all 3 phases with the possibility of a 2nd judge added to the mix. With a small competition to see how you have progressed throughout the sessions
To gain maximum benefit from these sessions the numbers will be limited. If the event is popular I am happy to organise more sessions. Open to all ages and abilities.
Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information. Could you please send your rally forms BACS payment confirmation or cheques made payable to SDHEPC to Mrs H Burgess, 83 Eastbourne Road, Lower Willingdon, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN20 9NR
Look forward to seeing you
Helen
