Homestead Livery and Riding Club

Despite rumours to the contrary the June show went ahead, and although a few of the Show Jumping classes had to be cut short due to the wind throwing some of the jump wings around (not to mention the odd tree) like skittles  we managed another great show - thanks again to everyone who came! For future reference, it’s very rare that we actually cancel a show but if you’re unsure over the weather please do call the yard on 07973 528 732 to double check.

Photos are up on the jumpforit.co.uk and A&R web sites now!

The longest day of the year of the year has been and gone and we are now into the balmy days of summer and the school holidays. But there won’t be any school breaks for our four-legged friends - certainly not for the Homestead members as we have plenty of clincs, shows, dressage days & show jumping evenings to look forward to!

A big thanks to everyone who braved the rain and turned up on the 1st. Here are the results from the day:

Well, what a great start to the ‘08 show season that was! A warm welcome to new club members joining us on the day, and of course well done to everyone who took part and extra special congratulations if you came away with rosettes and/or silverware.

Photos from the in-hand and ridden classes are now available at jumpforit.co.uk, our show photographers this season, with a range of print options at very reasonable prices. Show jumpers might like to keep an eye on the A&R site - unless of course, like some of us, you had a round that you’d rather forget…

Thanks to everyone who turned up, and if you didn’t make it - what kept you? Put a big red circle around June 22nd in your diary!

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…

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!
