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

Booking via our website

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.

Polite message!

Please could we politely ask that members and parents clear up all of their mess when attending venues.

We had a super fun Christmas rally at Chelwood Equestrian last weekend which has now been marred by receiving a complaint from the venue about the state the lorry park and yard near the indoor school was left in - they have never seen such an amount of droppings left.

Please, please clear up all droppings, hay, litter when attending any venue - we really enjoy using the fantastic facilities they offer and  don't want to lose them.
