Thanks to everyone who attended the Presentation Night – it was a great night and everyone did really well, especially Megan Howson and Casper winning the overall Championship! Well it’s now the run up to Christmas and to follow a smattering of clinics to keep you all occupied when you are not pounding the streets looking for the perfect Christmas gift for your four legged friend.
As we move into Autumn, the nights are drawing in, the rugs are back from cleaning, the ponies are starting to get shaggy again, ah well it had to end at some point!
Anyway, all of us who attended the XC training day had a great time, jumped our socks off and were provided with a great lunch – including Cheesecake to die for… with that under our belts (not the cheesecake) we are all off to do a One Day Event shortly – so watch this space.
As a reminder – the last SHOW is on Sunday 27th so please come along & top-up your points for this year’s Trophies! To help, the usual smattering of clinics – including some from Mark Taylor, who showed us all how it was done “Western” style at the demo last month, so we thought you might like to try it yourselves.
Congratulations to Niamh Wright who was picked out of the hat by Tracy for coming up with the winning caption ‘One big trump by me or the horse and over the hedge we go!’.
Niamh wins a ticket to the Natural Horsemanship, Western Riding and Barrell Racing Demo on Friday 14th August.
There are still a few tickets for the evening left so call Tracy on 07980 135 519 if you want one! Or see the web site for more infomation.
The updated championship points are now available on the Homestead web site. It’s getting close at the top of the table – with just two shows to go there are only three points separating the top two championship contenders.
Many of the individual class trophies are also still very much up for grabs – so if you have your eye on some silverware, make doubly sure you’re at our additional show on August 23rd!
We hope you had a successful outing at the show today – thankfully, despite the odd shower the weather held off just long enough for us to have a great day!
Due to popular demand we are adding another points show to our calendar this year. So, cross out anything else you were planning on doing this Sunday August 23rd and we’ll see you then!
Win a ticket to the Western Riding Riding and Natural Horsemanship Demo by Mark Taylor on Friday 14th August 2009!
