Tetrathlon from Nicky Collins

All replies and for more information please contact Nicky Collins, nicky.collins@waitrose.com , 07710 086126.

 

Tetrathlon

Well done to all those who competed at the Mid Surrey TET on Sunday. After the initial snow (!) the weather was very kind to us. I would recommend this event to anyone thinking of trying Tetrathlon in the future. It is a very friendly & helpful event. It is also very easy to get to as straight up the M23, then jct 8 of M25 – it took my 50mins from my house in Wivelsfield.The jumping for the under 8s is cross poles in an arena and the XC for the other classes is very kind with plenty of alternatives. Ethan Collins on Harry got around clear at his first proper XC at Mini Boys level (under 12 years) which is up to 80cm. However, at Mid Surrey most of the course was 60cm with only a few larger or more difficult fences which had alternatives. Riders can always opt to jump a smaller size course, which is the class below them, for a small penalty: this is quite common especially for riders who have just moved up an age bracket.

It is with regret that we write to inform you that we have today had to make the decision to cancel the planned Combined Training event on the 2nd May 2016 at Plumpton Racecourse.

Once again, we apologise for any disappointment that this decision may have caused, but hopefully we look forward to seeing lots of you on the 15th May at the Hunter Trials at Wivelsden Farm.  
 
Best regards

Camp setting rally reminder for those wanting to go to any of the camps

On behalf of the camp committee, please can I remind any one hoping to go to one of the camps this summer, that is a condition of going to camp that you attend a camp standard setting rally so that you can be assessed and put in to the correct group for your riding ability.  In addition you will need to have attended 2 mounted working rallies in this current year, ideally on the horse you are hoping to take to camp.

Wedneday 1st June is the next available  setting rally and a limited number of spaces at the remaining rally on Saturday 25th June. Both of these are being held at Chelwood Equestrian and cost £12.50. To book, please post me a completed rally booking form and your payment. (If paying by BACS please attach a copy of the transaction with your rally form.)

Whilst camp may seem a way off, it isn't  from an organising point of view and we do want to accommodate all of you wanting to go to camp.  If you need any help or have questions with this, please contact me.

Many thanks in anticipation of your co-operation with this.

C+/B training - reply to Hazel Perry

Dear All

I am hoping to set up some regular stable management rallies for those working towards their C+ or B tests. I am thinking a weekday evening would work best and I am aiming to hold at least one a month. Each session will cover a specific topic which will enable members to read up in advance and bring along anything they might find useful.

If you think this might be of interest to you please could you let me know your preferred evening and I will do my best to make it fair for everyone. My email address is hazelperry@live.com.

Many thanks
Hazel

Camp setting rallies

Camp standard setting rallies

 

 

Please could all those who have asked for spaces on the 1st and 25th June camp rallies send me their completed rally forms and payment! 

 

Anyone who has not yet booked one of the above standard setting rallies, please do so asap., so we can accommodate all of you wanting to go to one of the camps.

 

It is a condition of going to camp that one of these standard setting rallies is attended so that you can be assessed and put into the correct riding ability group.  In addition you will need to have attended a further 2 mounted working rallies in this current year ideally on the pony that you are taking to camp.

 

All rally forms are to be posted or hand delivered, NOT E-MAILED!  If paying by BACS please remember to attach a copy of the transaction with the form to support payment and to make the job of myself and Mike, our treasurer, much easier.

The camp booking forms themselves will be with you very shortly and again will need to be returned in full by post or hand.  Senior camp itself involves 14 forms to be returned x 72 campers and that is far too much printing for me to do!  

 

Many thanks in anticipation of you co-operation.
