An email containing Horse Trials information has been sent out by the Chef D’Equipe (Lisa Deaville) to all those expressing an interest and requires a quick response.
Very well done to the ECCTG Arrows, one of our Senior Challenge FOTH teams – they have qualified for the BRC Festival of the Horse Championships at Aston-le-Walls on June 1st 2013. Great riding from Sally Filby, Sally Vickers, Andrew Stout and Catriona Henderson. All supporters most welcome – it is great for the Club to be represented at the national championships once again in this discipline.
ECCTG has got a growing endurance team and would like to grow it even further! The team qualified for the national championships in 2012 (read the full report in our results section) and are looking to recreate this success for 2013. There are plenty of 20 mile qualifying rides within reasonable distance eg. near Burton – on – Trent in June, Wirral in July, Lancs in August & Delamere Forest in Sept before the final on October 6th at Builth Wells. If we have a squad of 5 or 6 then every rider need not compete at every qualifier if they prefer not to. For further details, see the Endurance team page or contact Chef D’Equipe Pat Guerin (01477 534194).
ECCTG would like to congratulate all of our members who competed at Kelsall Hill HT this weekend. We can proudly say that three of our members won their sections…not to mention many others who picked up placings! Congratulations Brook Butler, Amy Lennon and Louise Chell on your wins.
