LAST APPEAL FOR FENCE JUDGES TO ENABLE OUR MINI ODE TO GO AHEAD ON SUNDAY

Hello everyone

On Sunday we have our Mini One Day Event which is a great opportunity for the youngsters to put into practice all of the hard work they've put in at PC rallies over the year.

All the organisation is carried out by a small number of volunteers and we also NEED VOLUNTEERS TO HELP OUT ON THE DAY.  If you or your child has taken part in any of the PC events or activities over the year and you have a spare few hours on Sunday please come and help.  You can do morning or afternoon if you can't spare a full day, all help is very much appreciated.

I'm collecting names for fence judges.  It's an easy job to do.... bring a deck chair, or sit in your car and watch all the youngsters bomb past on their cute ponies or the parents, puffing along behind . Kids can help fence judging with you, it's fun!  and training is given

So far I have the names below.... and its not enough.....please help.

help with horse in Plumpton needed - from Jane Walsh


CAN YOU HELP ?

We are looking for help with turnout/bring in for 1 horse and a pony on Wednesdays and Fridays (morning and evening) and occasional mucking out and holiday cover.  Based near the shop in Plumpton.   Must be confident and knowledgeable.  Payment per horse per session.   Please contact  Jane Walsh 07719695615

VERY SHORT OF FENCE JUDGES TO ENABLE OUR ODE TO GO AHEAD THIS SUNDAY! PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR BRANCH AND HELP!!!!!

ello everyone AGAIN.

So far, following several requests we have  only 5 volunteers to fence judge at the mini ODE on Sunday.

We cannot allow riders to jump the course without the proper number of judges to make sure that all riders are safe and so  if we don't get enough numbers then this event cannot go ahead. This would be a shame for all the little ones who look forward to their event at the end of the year. 

PLEASE try to give up some time for us this weekend.  Morning or afternoon.  It will be much appreciated and we will look after you with refreshments.

Looking forward to hearing from you all. ??

Johnno - Pony Club horse for sale

Please note, allowing members and others to post adverts for members is a service which Southdown East branch of the Pony Club is offering to members as a benefit of membership.  It is done in good faith and without any liability on the part of the Pony Club.  If you enter into any arrangement advertised or purchase any item following an advertisement listed by the branch, you do so as a private individual, without recourse to the Pony Club, and must satisfy yourself that any product or arrangement is suitable for your circumstances.


Johnno is a 14.3, 13 year old grey Connemara gelding who is very sadly up for sale due to me taking a gap year and planning to go exploring! Johnno is a regular member of the pony club teams, having represented SDHW many times in the last few years: Novice showjumping in 2015, 2016 and 2017, regularly giving the team a valuable clear round. Intermediate dressage areas in 2015 (8th place), 2016 and 2017 finishing in the middle of the field. Novice eventing, coming 6th at the Petersfield ODE earlier in the year, he has also represented the branch at novice area eventing. Recently, he came 4th at the unaffiliated horse trials at Borde Hill, finishing on 36.5 and exactly on the optimum time despite being the smallest in his section – he really is a machine cross country, a real point and go pony. Ideally, he will go to a home where he can continue to be an active member of the Pony Club, doing all the things he loves most! He is good to hack, load, travel, clip and is one of the easiest ponies to have around. He can be strong and fast so not suitable for a novice rider although he would never buck, spin, rear or bolt. We are in no rush to sell him so homes will be thoroughly vetted to ensure Johnno goes to the best home possible! He will come with all his tack and rugs.
