Club News – September & October 2009
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.
