Training towards B test

Hello everyone!    I am starting to organise rallies for people interested in working toward, or training at the level of the B test.    The B test is aimed at riders around the age of 16 upward and follows on from the C+.     If your son or daughter is interested in training at B level please let me know and I will add you to the what's app group. They do not have to have passed the C+ test to join the training, although the suggested age would be 14 years plus.     Our first rally will be Saturday 18th February, 12-1pm at plumpton, with the brilliant Polly Thom instructing. Please book on the website.    Lucy Hemsley??    Sent from my iPhone

Polite message!

Please could we politely ask that members and parents clear up all of their mess when attending venues.

We had a super fun Christmas rally at Chelwood Equestrian last weekend which has now been marred by receiving a complaint from the venue about the state the lorry park and yard near the indoor school was left in - they have never seen such an amount of droppings left.

Please, please clear up all droppings, hay, litter when attending any venue - we really enjoy using the fantastic facilities they offer and  don't want to lose them.

Horse for Sale

Please note, allowing members and others to post adverts for members is a service which Southdown East branch of the Pony Club is offering to members as a benefit of membership.  It is done in good faith and without any liability on the part of the Pony Club.  If you enter into any arrangement advertised or purchase any item following an advertisement listed by the branch, you do so as a private individual, without recourse to the Pony Club, and must satisfy yourself that any product or arrangement is suitable for your circumstances.


Our beautiful 16.1 8 year old gelding is for sale. He would suit a mainly hacking home with the odd clinic/ fun ride/ hunting thrown in. He needs a calm and confident rider. He is well mannered (most of the time - may throw a little buck when excited), snaffle mouthed, great in open spaces, with traffic and to travel in a trailer or lorry.

 

He is a gorgeous soul who we are extremely sad to part with and will only go to a 5* home. He has some medical history but is good for many years of enjoyment yet! He is priced to reflect this and I am happy to share full details. He is for sale as my daughter wishes to progress with competing.

 

Please call Rachael on 07784912645.

Interbranch show jumping 15th October at Golden Cross

Sdhepc are hosting a show jumping competition on the 15th October at Golden Cross equestrian centre.
Heights start from x poles, 60cm, 70cm, 80cm and 90cm. 
If your child is interested in either joining a team or going as an individual then please either email me, katieandaiden@hotmail.com or message me 07881404542 no later than 10th September.
Sonia will have the final decision with regards to team members and priority will be given to those who regularly attend rallies.
You can only enter 2 classes, either 2 teams on 2 different horses or 1 team and 1 individual on the same horse, or of course you can just enter the 1 class. 
We had some great results last year so would be good to get as many entries as possible.
We have a practice rally on the 23rd September at GC so please do try and attend if you can.
Any questions please ask!
