Where is Spring?! It’s much to cold to be April, hopefully May will bring some sunshine and we can get out the fly-spray again! Anyway, May and June also bring the start of the competition season, with Shows and Dressage/Combined Training as well as the usual Clinics for flat work & jumping. The clinics have been moved to evening slots to keep the weekends free for competing – so here goes…
Would anyone be interested in going to a first aid for riders session on 14th April? It’s at 6.30pm in Harrogate - if you’d like to come, please contact James (james@golfbravo.co.uk) or Tracy ASAP so we can let them know numbers.
The event is being organised by Joanna Joyce-Gray, who took a nasty tumble while out hunting with the West of Yore and realised she hadn’t a clue what to do should she come across someone else in a similar situation. Donations on the night to the Air Ambulance.
Here’s the article from last week’s Equestrian Post…
No doubt some of your New Years resolutions have been made and broken by now, however for those who decided this would be their year for Dressage, Show-Jumping, X-Country or just simply improving your riding skills, this is the club for you. We have an action packed year planned – including Clinics for flatwork & jumping, Points Shows, Dressage & Combined Training Competitions and even a Show-Cross Event for all you budding Pippas & Williams!
Goodness – December once again! Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to all members two footed & four legged! Anyone who attended the Trophy Presentation Evening will agree it was a great night out & for the die-hards amongst us the need to exercise our vocal cords was just too great – thankfully only a few were actually listening to what could only loosely be described as singing!
Congratulations to everyone in receipt of a Trophy and thanks for your support at the shows last year. The Riding Club membership for 2008 is due in January – so don’t forget to get ready for next years season!
A happy new year to all our friends, two and four legged alike. We hope you like the revised web site - you can sign up to be emailed whenever the site is updated using the form opposite (if you signed up to the old site you don’t need to do anything else), or if you register you can add your own comments to posts on the site.
We’re excited about making 2008 another special year for the club - well let’s face it, the weather this coming summer can only be an improvement on the biblical lows we saw in 2007, when the jumping paddock more often than not resembled Lake Windermere.
Before then, though, we have to get to the other side of winter, and there’s snow on the way - so rug up warm and remember there are still lessons and club activites on the go.
Speaking of which, it’s your riding club - so get your thinking caps on and let us know what activities and events you’d like to see happen this year.
And finally… don’t forget to send in your 2008 club membership renewals!
