Help needed at our Branch run Hunter Trials Sunday 19th May

Hello folks.

I'm following up on my previous request for help.

We've only a week to go and still need help.

We need fence judges, collecting ring and car park help on the day.  This is a great opportunity to bring along younger members, who may be thinking about taking part in the September event, to watch and see what's involved.

Thursday evening, help to set up/rope and flag the course

Saturday afternoon, last minute help and putting up our marquee.

ALL help, in whatever form is gratefully received. We run these events as fund raisers for the Branch to keep the costs of rallies and camps down but we can't run them without a lot of help from volunteers. 

Please contact Sally  on branchshow@sdhepc.org or 07753777072

Thanks so much

Sally

 

 

___________________________________________________________________________

Hello Everyone

It's only three weeks before we have our first Branch event of the year, our Spring Hunter Trials is being held on Sunday 19th May.  Planning is well under way and entries are coming in already.

As always, we need help from parents and members in order to run our events properly, and many hands really do make light work.

Your help can come in many ways:

Help us to set up beforehand, putting out safety ropes and poles, flagging the course, and putting up our new marquee to protect us from the rain (or hopefully sun) on the day.

Come along and fence judge for us on the day. This can be a whole day, or a morning\afternoon session.  This is a really important, but simple to learn, job.  We really cannot run our event without the people who sit by each jump ensuring that every rider gets over safely. You have to be over 16 to do this by yourself, but bring your youngsters with you and let them see what the day is all about.  They can help you in your job, and you just tick the boxes.  It's fun and we'll make sure you're fed and watered while you help.

Help on the day, we need someone to come round and take refreshments to our helpers.  Bake a cake or something savoury to keep the helpers sustained during the day.

Stay behind for a little while or come back later to help put all the ropes/posts/tent etc away. 

It's a long day and every offer of help really is very much appreciated.

If you'd like to help, please contact Sally Harper who is our volunteers coordinator.  

email: sallyannharper@me.com  or call \ text 07753777072

Can't wait to hear from you!

Pony Club 90th Anniversary celebrations

This year the Pony Club is celebrating its' 90^th Anniversary. A 'Round The World' event has been created to take place at noon on Saturday 3^rd August and will be the key moment of the celebrations. The Pony Club hope to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest gathering of young people and it is in all our interests to raise the profile of our organisation showing our membership that they are part of an organisation with global connections, all sharing the same passion for horses, having fun and creating friendship opportunities that continue long after we cease being a pony club member.

Head Quarters would like all Branches to upload photographs/videos as near to noon as possible on 3^rd August showing their own celebrations.

Saturday 3^rd August coincides with the last day of senior camp and the interbranch jumping event being hosted by Southdown Hunt West at Hickstead. SDHW are proposing to create a giant "90" with 10/20 unmounted members from each branch within Area 11 in the main arena.

We would like to create our own "90" and would like to invite all present and ex members to join us at Plumpton Racecourse on the evening of Thursday 1^st August. More details will follow shortly, but we propose to meet around 6.00 after evening stables and would like everyone to bring a picnic and join the campers and camp staff for the evening to celebrate.  The plan is to have this filmed by drone, along with the 'horse shoe' on the final day of camp and have it uploaded to HQ as our part of the celebrations.

Please try and keep the evening of 1^st August free and help Southdown Hunt East with their celebrations – it will also be a great time to catch up with fellow  present and past members.

Camp reminder

We are in the process of taking bookings for our camps, all of which are being held at Plumpton Racecourse.

Senior Camp  -  Saturday 29^th July – Saturday 3^rd August    £425  - deposit of £100

Junior Camp -  Monday 5^th – Friday 9^th August    £200  - deposit of £50

Mini camp   - Tuesday 6^th – Friday 9^th August      £160 – deposit of £50

 

Senior camp is fully residential, where horses are stabled within the secure yard at the racecourse and campers sleep in dormitories within the grandstand which is patrolled by security staff overnight.

 

Junior and mini campers come daily, with the ponies being stabled in the racecourse yard. This year there will be an open morning when parents are invited to stay and watch their children ride.

 

First, and foremost, camp is about having fun, improving your riding and creating new friendships.

All riding, yard and activities earn points for the campers and their yard groups and go towards many awards that are presented on the last day of camp following a demonstration to parents of their riding skills.

 

Instruction includes jumping, flatwork, stable management, working hunter and grid work sessions.

Campers and their ponies are taken to our cross country course at Wivelsden Farm.

However it is not all about riding and stable duties. We have various demonstrations, where in previous years we have had visits from the British Racing School, packs of foxhounds, pilates classes and for senior campers a visiting vet has dissected various parts of horses! There are games afternoons and during hot weather a very popular water slide!

During the evenings at senior camp there are games such as it's a knockout, landrover pull and a disco with karaoke on the last night.

 

If you are interested in any of the above camps or would like to discuss which camp is best for your child please contact Candy Robbins, camp secretary, on 0781 658 0322 or candyrobbins@w-com.net

Hunter Trial 19th May - ideas needed for dressing our cross country fences

With our first event of the year looming up on Sunday 19^th May, we are in the process of getting the course prepared.

The fences always look fantastic when "dressed".   If you have any ideas and are feeling creative, please join us on Wednesday 8^th May, 7.00pm,  at Wivelsden Farm. The idea would be for you to choose a fence, put forward for approval what you would like to do to it and with what, and then come along on the evening of 16^th May to carry out the dressing.

Hope to see lots of you there.

Candy Robbins
