SDHE Table top tack sale Friday 10th May

We are organising a table top tack sale on Friday 10th May at Scaynes Hill Village Hall.

Tables are £10 each and are open to anyone.

This is a good opportunity to come along and have a clear out before the start of the year, and perhaps find what you never knew you needed! 

Get the kids to dig out the old jodhpurs and boot, head collars and numnahs from the depths of the tack room. It's also a good chance to catch up with Pony clubbers old and new. Cakes and drinks are on offer on the night. Please circulate to your yards and friends so that we can make this event a success and raise some club funds.

Don't have enough stuff for a table?  Why not get together with others from your yard and have a joint table.

We will also be running a SDHE table selling new sweatshirts/jackets ties etc and ALSO giving you the opportunity to sell on some of your gear even if you don't have a table of your own.  For a small commission of 50p per item, you can let us have your bits and pieces, let us know how much you'd like to sell it for, and we'll do all the work for you.  Proceeds to club funds. 

Please contact Sally Harper if you'd like to book a table, get us to sell on for you, or to let us know if you're coming along.  We're also on the scrounge for cakes to sell to the hoards of people we are hoping will come.  

Please call 07753777072    or e-mail sallyannharper@me.com

Help needed at our Branch run Hunter Trials Sunday 19th May

Hello Everyone

It's only three weeks before we have our first Branch event of the year, our Spring Hunter Trials is being held on Sunday 19th May.  Planning is well under way and entries are coming in already.

As always, we need help from parents and members in order to run our events properly, and many hands really do make light work.

Your help can come in many ways:

Help us to set up beforehand, putting out safety ropes and poles, flagging the course, and putting up our new marquee to protect us from the rain (or hopefully sun) on the day.

Come along and fence judge for us on the day. This can be a whole day, or a morning\afternoon session.  This is a really important, but simple to learn, job.  We really cannot run our event without the people who sit by each jump ensuring that every rider gets over safely. You have to be over 16 to do this by yourself, but bring your youngsters with you and let them see what the day is all about.  They can help you in your job, and you just tick the boxes.  It's fun and we'll make sure you're fed and watered while you help.

Help on the day, we need someone to come round and take refreshments to our helpers.  Bake a cake or something savoury to keep the helpers sustained during the day.

Stay behind for a little while or come back later to help put all the ropes/posts/tent etc away. 

It's a long day and every offer of help really is very much appreciated.

If you'd like to help, please contact Sally Harper who is our volunteers coordinator.

Can't wait to hear from you!

Grass reseeding using direct drilling

If your paddocks / fields have taken a hammering this winter and you do not want to do a full reseed. Why not use the direct drilling system?

Its main advantages are:

1.       One pass with a tractor and drill into the existing grass fields/paddocks.

2.        Can Rejuvenate damaged grass fields/paddocks for the season

3.       Saves on costs to that of more traditional methods

4.       Also capable of doing full reseeds
