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!
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!
