Future dates coming up

Busy few weeks with something for everyone- camps, picnic rides and Area comps. Congratulations to everyone out enjoying their ponies having fun and improving their knowledge. We all love the pics and good news.

Next up:

Team SJ practice for Branch show in October. All levels

Test training - particularly D plus and C plus.

Winter Area Dressage training about to start- opportunity for all levels to train during these winter months ready for 2023. All levels, 4 teams to Area 2022, was brilliant.

Badge work and socials ongoing.

PLUS - I have provisionally booked a 'racing rally' for this Autumn. I'm just working on the format but there will be opportunity to have a ride up some gallops and learn all about racing. We have several older members who have gone into racing as a career so please let me know on here if interested- all levels - so I can sort dates etc.

PLUS - congrats to our members who did the Blue Cross Care. We would like to offer this in 2023 to all of our members and will coordinate the training alongside test training starting in the New Year. Previous years I've been involved in the judging of this and would be keen to support this competition for all levels.

The badge rallies are especially helpful and great opportunity to learn/catch up with friends.

Any other ideas please let your organisers/Instructors know …..
