The Pc syllabus for C test is, http://www.pcuk.org/…/tests_and_ac…/efficiency_tests/c_test/ please make sure that you have revised all the stable management before coming to the run through. The Manual of Horsemanship and Trish Adams a Working Notebook for C Test are both useful references especially if you haven't made it to many stable management rallies.

I am working on dates for the actual test and aiming at October half term. If you haven't already please can you email me your daughters half term dates, taylor4@sky.com.

Next Sunday 22nd September is Southdown East Pony Club's Hunter Trail at Wivelsden Farm. I hope lots of you have put your entries in but to run this event and NOT CANCEL IT THIS TIME WE NEED FENCE JUDGES ( 25 ).
Please can you EMAIL ME ( CLAIRE FRY - clairemfry@hotmail.co.uk ) ASAP if you can help. I will make sure you have plenty of food, cake and hot drinks. The weather is looking good too so come and have a relaxing day watching the riders and ticking a few boxes. It Doesn't Matter if you have never fence judged before it is very simple.

Also is there anyone who could make the lunches for next Sunday and we need lots of cakes so please get baking everyone ( or cheat and buy one! )

Turton Hunter Trials - Wivelsden 22nd September

The Turton Hunter Trials, our last event of the season at Wivelsden, is taking place next Sunday, 22nd September with classes from 50 – 80cm, including pairs.  The full schedule can be found on our website: sdhepc.org

Please come and support "your" club by competing at the event and/or by helping  set up beforehand, clearing up at the end of the day, or helping on the day with fence judging (a separate e-mail will be circulated for help with these tasks).

As you will be aware, our last event had to be canceled due to low entries and the fact only 4 people offered to help!  It is by running these fund raising events we are able to subsidise the cost of rallies and camps – if they were not run, we would not be able to continue to subsidise rallies and events and these costs would have to be met by the membership.

If every family within the membership gave a couple of hours of their time to our events it would make life easier and more enjoyable for the select few that do. Fence judging, for instance, is good fun and a family affair. Sit in a chair, hopefully in the sunshine, watch competitors enjoying our course and place a tick or X against their number on a score sheet for your allocated fence (full instructions will be given on the day) whilst eating a picnic – what is there not to enjoy about that! It is very sociable and the children love helping Mums and Dads with it (you do need to be over 18 to fence judge). For those members that are too young to fence judge there are plenty of other things to help with – arena party for show jumping courses when we hold ODE's, dressage score sheet collecting, tea and cake runs……   Please, please, come and support "your club".

Area eventing teams - from Rebekah Walker

Many thanks

Cancellation of ODE 8th September

It is with great disappointment that we have no option but to cancel our One Day Event scheduled  to take place at Wivelsden on 8th September, due to very low entries (29) and lack of helpers (4!).

As organisers, and as a Branch, we are all very disappointed but hope that by canceling now those entered will be able to enter other events and we will of course refund your entries asap.

We won't let this dampen our spirits and very much hope you will be able to come to our Hunter Trial at Wivelsden on 22nd September
