show jumping competition at Hickstead 3rd August

Thankyou to those that have expressed an interest in taking part in the show jumping competition at Hickstead on 3rd August, hosted by Southdown West Pony Club

We have lots of interest among the younger members who will be competing as individuals as sadly there is no team competition until you reach the 70cm class.  The 70cm, 80cm and 90cm classes do have a team competition but again sadly nobody has committed to taking part so all interested combinations will be competing as individuals.

Now is the time for you all to make your entries - this is done via MY RIDING LIFE  (https://myridinglife.com/eventdetails.aspx?id=468138)   as the hosts will not accept entries via any other means.

Please do this asap as although entries officially close 1st August, SDW will close earlier if over subscribed.

Any problems please contact Katie Wright 07881 404542  katieandadien@hotmail.com

Many thanks

Camp 2024 invite

 

3 DAY CAMP

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                               

 

 

To:         All Members who want to go to 3 DAY CAMP

 

 

From:    Candy Robbins – Branch and Camp Secretary

 

Camp arrangements for 2024 are underway!  This will take place at Bucklands Farm, Balcombe, Tuesday 30^th July – Thursday 1^st August.  This is a 3 day non residential camp and will make full use of the fantastic facilities that Bucklands Farm has to offer, including their cross country course.

The cost will be £225.  To secure a place I will need to receive your non-refundable deposit of £75 by 8^th June – the balance of £175 will be due by 30^th June at the very latest.

 

Fees are kept as low as possible as we don't plan to make a profit out of camps, but they usually  require some cross-subsidy from Branch funds.

 

I am happy to receive bookings by e-mail backed by payment direct into the Branch Account (20-49-76 30810541) Places are allocated on a first come, first served basis and bookings will not be treated as confirmed until supported by the non refundable deposit as above.  You will receive an e-mail notification after both your application and payment have been received.

Camp numbers will be capped – should there be any spaces as of 8^th June these will be offered to members from neighbouring branches who have expressed an interest in joining us. Sadly 2 of our closest branches are not able to run any form of camp this year due to lack of interest, so we are all very lucky to be able to go ahead with ours.

 

After your application has been received, you will be sent paperwork asking for pony and rider details and also medical information.

If you would like any further information at this point please feel free to contact me - 0781 6580322

Arena eventing rally 23rd March

At present there are only 3 people booked for the arena eventing rally at Hickstead on Saturday 23^rd March.  This is so disappointing as we listen to what members would like to do and booked this specially.

The Branch has paid for all the arena hire in advance and will need to cancel unwanted spaces by this Thursday to avoid losing a lot of money. We also need to give the instructor notice of hours not wanted so they have the chance to earn a living elsewhere.

Please if you want to take part could you book by this Wednesday lunchtime at the latest.

Use it, or lose it!

Camp 2024

Good and bad news!

 

Bad news – Camp will not be going ahead at Plumpton Racecourse this year.

The camp organisers are really sad at this news, as apart from covid years, it has been a traditional part of our branch to have a camp at this location for over 60 years.

The decision has not been taken lightly. Numbers have declined and whilst the Branch would (and always has) subsidise the deficit in fees, putting on such a huge event is not viable with so few able to attend. The camp atmosphere would not be the same and it would mean extra kitchen shifts for the parents of those attending.

We fully intend to resume camp at Plumpton Racecourse in 2025

 

Good news – We are very excited to offer a 3 day "day camp" that will run Tuesday 30^th July – Thursday 1^st August,  at Bucklands Farm in Balcombe. This will be a slightly different format from the usual and will include the use of their  wonderful cross country course, show jumping and dressage  facilities they offer as well as hacking on site for the mini people, mounted games and achievement badges.

More information will follow shortly. The cost is likely to be around £225 (this equates to £12.50 per hour for expert tuition and care of your darlings – both pony and rider!)

If this is of interest or you would like more information, please e-mail Candy on candyrobbins06@gmail.com  It would be good to have all interest registered by 10th March so we can continue with planning.

 

Pony Club, along with other organisations such as Guides/Scouts is in decline. We all lead busy lives and finances are also an issue.  However, as a Branch, we are passionate in keeping this organisation going. It forms such a fantastic foundation for learning and enjoying all aspects of equestrian activities. It creates friendships for life  as well as teaching social skills.  Please continue to support our Branch and therefore the Pony Club as a whole.

All Day Rally

All Day Rally at Bucklands Farm, Balcombe - Sunday 21st April - 10.00-3.00pm

A fun day of cross country, show jumping, flatwork, grid and achievement badges.

All levels and abilities are welcome - £70 for a full day of activities

Arena eventing rallies

We're very excited to be able to offer Arena Eventing rallies at the fabulous Hickstead show ground.

Along with the xc fences they also have a water complex, steps, ditches and banks.

Due to the height of the fences these rallies are open to all those jumping 70cm upwards.

There will be 2 groups with 4 riders in each at a price of £40. 

Rally date is the 23rd March 2-4pm with the very experienced Polly Thom teaching. Please ensure you book in plenty of time as bookings will close 10 days before the event and no tickets will be available after this date.

Look forward to seeing lots of you there and as always, any questions please ask.

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
