Team information for jumping at Hickstead this Saturday

Team jumping hosted by Southdown West at Hickstead this Saturday

Venue!

Southdown Hunt West ask that all competitors treat the venue with due respect.  In particular, if anyone is found in the International Arena (mounted or unmounted) the whole branch may be asked to leave immediately.

 

Passports:  Please bring your horses passport – 6 month boosters must be in place and a clear 7 days from last vaccination and day of show

 

Parking for boxes and trailers is via Hickstead Village turnoff from the A23 and follow the signs into the stable field.

No haynets or horses to be tied up outside boxes/trailers. Dogs to be kept on leads. Both horse and dog droppings to be picked up.

Tack check opens from 8.15 and is usually at the bottom of the stable field on route to the arena's – please have passports at this point for checking – tack check must be done mounted.

 

Competitors must be ready to jump when requested – if not present after one minute, they will be eliminated. Competitors must enter and leave the ring as directed by the stewards. Any breach of these instructions will result in elimination.  Each pony club will jump as a team and in the drawn order.

 A fall eliminates horse and rider – the rider may not attempt another fence but must leave the arena immediately, mounted or dismounted.

 

All classes are being run as single phase.  There is an individual competition incorporated into the teams so double the chance of a placing!

 

70cm teams – Polo Arena

 

Class starts 1.00.  23 teams in class. There is a second course walk and we are the second team to jump after the second course walk which I estimate to be around 2.15/2.30 – Sonia will be coming straight from senior camp to walk the course and warm you all –please meet at the arena at that time. You will need to be tacked up, tacked checked and ponies waiting at the ringside as not long to warm up before you jump. Sonia will try and get there slightly earlier so it will help if you are all  ready for her.

 

Jumping order is:

 

Lily Musson – Smartie

Sophia Jeffrey – Monty

Daisy Burgess – Bracken

Florence Goodwin – Jack

 

 

 

 

80cm teams:  Ring 3, Equine America – new all weather

 

Class starts at 9.00.  There are 33 teams and we are the 4^th team to jump. You will need to be mounted and tack checked pretty promptly!  Briosa will be there to walk the course with you – please meet at the ringside at 7.45 prompt.

 

Jumping order is:

 

Arabella Goodwin – Babe

Ben Burgess – Oates

Emily Allardyce Bassett – Heather

Ella Currie – Drumgeeny Arthur

 

 

90cm teams: Ring 4 – Airowear original all weather

 

There are 30 teams in this class and we are the 6^th team to jump. You will need to be mounted and tack checked pretty promptly too!  Briosa will be there to walk the course with you – please meet at the ringside at 8.00 prompt!

 

Jumping order is:

 

Anna Currie – Domino III

Emma Robbins – White Orchid

Abigail Johnson – Midwych Skylla

Tilly Appleyard – Malone's Mate

 

Hope this essay covers most points.  Please ensure you and your horse are spotless and all horses must be plaited – SDHE prides itself on the turnout of its'  members.  Please wear your SDHE saddlecloth, they are available to buy or you can borrow with a deposit of £20 per cloth, as we have lost so many over the years.

Any problems with lameness, fitness etc., please let myself or Tracy Collins know asap so we can organise reserves.  If you have not paid the entry fee of £20 please send a cheque to Candy or Bacs  before Saturday – thankyou.

 

On the day, as part of the 90^th Anniversary celebrations of the Pony Club, all classes will be stopping just before midday and as many pony clubbers and volunteers as possible are invited to gather in the International Arena to form a human 90, photographed by drone. Please be at the arena at 12.00 and classes should be resumed at 1.00pm.  Members to wear pony club sweatshirts.

 

Most importantly have a great day out – whatever happens keep smiling, there is always another day and competing is supposed to be a pleasure, not a punishment. Thanking the organisers of the event always goes down well too!

 

Happy jumping,

 

Candy  & Tracey

Re-union Thursday 1st August at Plumpton Racecourse

Just a little reminder of our re-union picnic taking place at Plumpton Racecourse on Thursday 1^st August, from 6.00pm.

 

Please come and join us in celebrating  "90" years of the Pony Club – bring a picnic and join in creating a giant '90' on the grandstand steps, a game of stool ball or rounders, and have a good reminisce about the good old days with fellow members past and present.

If possible please bring as many old photographs as you can.

 

Our reunion will be filmed and then set to music composed by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber for the occasion. This will be uploaded to HQ for inclusion in the Ride Around The World day taking place at midday on Saturday 3^rd August, which kicks off in Australia! The Pony Club hopes to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest gathering of young people and it is in the interests of all of us to raise the profile of our organisation showing our membership that they are part of an organisation with global connections, all sharing the same passion for horses, having fun and creating friendship opportunities that continue long after we cease being a pony club member.

 

Hope to see lots of you there and please pass this on to any ex camp connections you may have.
