It is being held at Sands Farm, near Horsham, which is a lovely big INDOOR venue with loads of hardstanding parking and an easy drive - don't be put off by the distance as it really doesn't take too long to get there.

 

It's being run by Clare Bassett, the DC of East Sussex Pony Club who has huge experience and enthusiasm for mounted games. Please see all the information you need to book in below. Please book in sooner rather than later as places are limited. Any questions, please contact  Clare.

4. Senior 11 yrs and older on 01.01.22 and any junior age members who are experienced mounted games riders

 
Junior & Seniors will have two sessions

• Session 1 will give coaching and practice time of different races
• Session 2 will be a friendly "race-off" giving riders an opportunity to try out their skills against pairs/teams of a similar ability

 
Parents, coordinators and coaches will be encouraged to get involved, find out and share knowledge about the duties of the arena party and line stewards - an essential part of mounted games training and competitions.

Pony wanted for loan or share

This is on behalf of a new member to our Branch:

 

 

I am looking for a pony for my 13 year old daughter Lexie to share or loan part time.  She is 150cm (4 foot 11 inches) in height.  We are looking in the Brighton/Lewes direction . We live on the east side of Brighton. We are open to a place to keep a pony which ideally would be with other children who Lexie can ride with. Lexie has about 4 years riding experience where she has had lessons weekly and helped in a livery yard.     

 

Lexie wants to attend the senior camp at Plumpton college 31^st July to the 5^th August so would need the pony for that full week and she would like to attend  rallies.  Please contact me on my mobile number Maria Hawton-Mead 07973616710.

 

Best wishes,  

 

Maria Hawton-Mead
