Club News – September & October 2008

September 14th, 2008

Summer is over, what Summer I hear you all cry! At least we had the Olympics this year to inspire us, especially the Event Team and Tina Cook. Personally, I’m trying to be Dressage Star Emma Hindle, although I’m not sure Norman is on the same wavelength!

I don’t know about you but I think there is definitely a nip in the air though – I’m off to hunt out the rugs… As usual here’s the list of clinics and events for the next 2 months:

Show cross cancelled

August 31st, 2008

Unfortunately the cross country field is still waterlogged and will not be fit to host the show cross event planned for the 7th. Apologies if you were planning on coming – but we still hope to see you at the final summer show on September 28th!

Championship points from 22nd June show

July 8th, 2008

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!

Club News – July & August 2008

June 20th, 2008

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!

Photos from 18th May show

May 20th, 2008

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!
