Horse for Sale

Please note that circulation of this advertisement by the Pony Club does not imply any endorsement or warranty of any kind.


Please see the attached advert submitted by the Willman family.

Hi Mike, I have attached an ad for a horse for sale.  She is a fantastic mare but needs a competent & strong rider.  My daughter doesn't have the confidence to ride her which is a real shame. 

 

Would you mind advertising to the club please?

 

Thanks

PLEASE READ URGENTLY

Well I am sure that they are, and so they should be. Pony Club offers children opportunities to make treasured childhood memories, special life long friendships and gives them so many wonderful riding opportunities. However, I just want to make you all aware that it is the same little group of people that run the three camps, that organise the events to help towards funding them and rallies. Ok, so I really HATE to get stroppy with our Pony Club members and parents and don't wish to patronise you but in the 12 years of being heavily involved with our PC I have never known such little support for our branch.  With approx. 200 members why is it we have only about 15 that have volunteered to help on Sunday at the One Day Event???? We need approx. 60 to run the event professionally and efficiently. I am increasingly frustrated at most peoples lack of support for THEIR branch (but thank you so much to those that do support and willingly help, you know who you are and my goodness your help does make such a difference xx). It seems everyone is willing to attend rallies (at a small fee) and events that others have organised but very few are actually willing to join the events committee of step forward to help at events. I can not tell you how frustrating it is to constantly be chasing and nagging for help. What a waste of mine and others time.

It is so unfair on us, the small group of organisers to be doing all this work for the branch,  whilst working full time and juggling other commitments, to be worrying about how we are ever going to run the events with so few helpers. We work tirelessly to organise events, rallies, training sessions, teams for other events and PC camps for your children to enjoy. If you want this PC branch to continue then you need to step up now. Bar two parents with young children the whole main and events committee is made up of parents with children that are or will soon be too old for PC. What sort of future to you see for your branch?

So, this Sunday if you/your child is competing then why not bring a hay net and help in the next class. My horse and kids will be there for 10 hours on Sunday as will others! Or come and help set up or clear away at the end of the day. Or you can provide someone else to fence judge for a couple of hours for you! DO YOUR BIT, PLEASE! I bet we will be inundated with parents, grandparents and older siblings on the first/last day of PC camps. Our little group of organisers feel like pack donkeys doing all the work for the majority to enjoy. 

 If I have offended you by this comment then do please ring me. I am more than happy to discuss this with you! 01825 765163

Please do email me your suggestions for ways forward for your branch and offers of help.

Heidi

Desperate for fence judges!

We are holding a ODE kindly sponsored by CDMS (Sussex) Ltd this Sunday, 22nd June

WE are desperately short of fence judges and will be unable to run the event if we donot get anymore judges come forward with an offer to help which will be a huge shame as the course looks superb and we have over 175 entries!

You will be fed and watered, and we hope to offer lots of sunshine for you to sit and relax in.

If you are able to help. for however long. please reply to Claire Fry who co-ordinates the fence judges.  No experience is necessary, but you do need to be 18 or over.

Please, please come and support our branch by helping in this way.

ODE HELPERS!

Hello to you all,

Firstly, thank you to all our members and helpers that supported and helped at our Branch Show! I think all that attended will agree that it was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.

As you know, we are hosting our One Day Event on Sunday 22nd June, which is kindly sponsored by CDMS (Sussex). There are classes from 60cm to 1m05.

THE COURSE WILL BE PROFESSIONALLY AERATED IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE GOING.

We are thrilled to have received 90 entries already so some of the classes are nearly full! We also have some new cross country jumps that will be used for the first time at this event!!! But I am really surprised that only five of them are from our branch members. We run these events primarily to offer our members the opportunity to compete and to raise funds to support other branch activities. WE WOULD SO LOVE TO SEE MORE OF OUR MEMBERS COMPETING ON THE DAY! Entries strictly close this Friday. Please see our website for details.

In order to efficiently run the ODE's we need approx 60 helpers on the day, plus more to set up/clear away. Please do volunteer your time for your branch, for the jobs below. We would especially like to see parents of our younger members volunteer for this event, as we appreciate that the classes may be too big for them to compete in. It would also be really inspiring for them to watch our older members competing!

* XC fence judges from 10.30am - a lovely job that your children can enjoy doing with you! Please let Claire Fry know of your availability for this role:  Clairemfry@hotmail.co.uk
* Show jumping steward x 2 am/pm
* Show jumping tack steward x 2 am/pm
* Cross Country tack check x 2 am/pm
* Arena party for the SJ ring from 10.30am (this would be a great job for our members aged 12 +)
* 10 adults (plus children of course!) to set up on Saturday and to clear away at the end of the day on Sunday.

Please remember that Wivelsden farm is a working farm and dogs are strictly NOT allowed there.

With many thanks,

Heidi x
