We had an excellent evening with listed judge Jo Glover on April 24^th – very individually tailored which was great – we had feedback and constructive comment/practice where we needed it most – very different requirements from early Prelim times to Medium.  Jo is very willing to adapt your session to whatever you would like to do – you do not have to ride a test, although we found that most useful last time.  Just a reminder that there are spaces on the May sessions (6^th and 29^th) – please contact Libby to book in.

Vyrnwy Valley RC and Tanatside PC are hosting a horse trials at Llanymynech on 8th June. See here for more details.

Don’t forget there is dressage (test) training with Jo Glover on April 24th and show jumping training with Tyler on May 1st – contact Libby to book your place. It’s hard to prioritise spaces for members if we don’t hear from you til the last minute so the sooner you enquire the better!

Please note the show jumping training at Crossmere Farm with Tyler Cassells, originally planned for 30th April will now be held on 1st May, starting at 6pm – all other details remain the same.

Intrepid four – Nikki Toomer, Lucy Filby, Sally Vickers and Juliet Foden set off into the mountains of Wales to compete in the Team Competition organised by Llandudno RC. The weather was surprisingly good considering all the rain we had during the previous days; so was the going.

Our Team won!

Thus qualifying for the Championships at Aston-Le-Wolds at the end of May.

Sally won the preliminary section with a good dressage and clear round; Juliet came fifth. Nikki was third in the novice section. The team was ably supported by Lucy who was unplaced.

Thanks to Libby who acted as chef d’equip and helper. Also many thanks to all those who came to cheer us on!

Unfortunately, the show jumping due to be held on Saturday April 5th has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.
