Coronavirus

Hi All

 

I am writing this email to let everyone know that I rang Pony Club Headquarters yesterday and their policy on the Coronavirus is to follow the advice given on the NHS website.

 

This sets out all areas where there is a higher risk of Coronavirus. We feel that we have a responsibility to all our members and because things are changing so quickly, we have made the decision that anyone returning from these areas should self-isolate for 14 days even if they have no symptoms, so will not be able to attend any rallies during this time.

 

If you require more help, please call the NHS helpline 111.

Looking for a pony!

 

Looking for pony up to 14.1hh school master type, no vices for my eldest daughter. Need a steady, safe pony who enjoys PC activities, hacking, show-jumping and cross country for a rider who isn't gung-ho but loves her riding and is keen to do more. We offer a 5* knowledgeable home and with two other daughters potentially long term home for the right pony.

 

Please call Sarah Day 07789 985804
