The Olympic Eventing at Greenwich was very exciting (and enjoyed by many of our members in the beautiful park itself) but we all know the really important competition is the National Horse Trials Championships at Aston-Le-Walls this weekend! Sadly, the event has had to change to short format due to the weather but we’re sure it will be a fantastic weekend nonetheless. Good luck to all of our members (Jo Glover (twice!), Hannah Mulliner, Hannah Leech, Amy Lennon, and Nicki Toomer) who are competing.

The next training opportunity coming up is Michael Owen – cross country/showjumping training at Arcid, July 27th

To all members, please be aware:

1. Entries for show jumping competitions can be made on the day, but any entries made after the preceding Wednesday will incur an additional £2 fee.

2. Entries should be made by calling the event organiser. Please respect organiser’s are all volunteers and have their own lives to lead so don’t call before 9am or after 9pm.

3. Please check when your duty days are (you can use the search facility on this site to find them) and ensure you contact the organiser at least a week in advance of the event to report for your duty. If you are not available on the day you have been allocated, it is your responsibility to find a suitable substitute or swop days with another member, and to inform the organiser.

If you are interested in taking part in the Area 20 dressage to music qualifier (Sunday 19th August), get in touch with Juliet Foden now to let her know; prelim entries must be in by 30th June.

Prelim entries for the area show jumping and style jumping need to be in by mid June so anyone interested in representing the club needs to get in touch with Gwen (01477535985) asap. More details are available on the Team pages.

East Cheshire Pony Club are calling for fence judges and dressage helpers for the Cheshire Shield at Somerford on Sunday 1st July. All helpers will get a fantastic home made lunch! Anyone interested please contact Liz Thomas (07798633347 or email).

If anyone would like to have a trade stand at the event they can email Elly Miller.

Thank you to all the competitors and helpers who made the ECCTG Summer Games a success! Results are now online and we’ve received some really positive feedback:

Had a great day. Lovely atmosphere and everybody I spoke to enjoyed it. Well done.

Thanks for a lovely day.

I’m just glad it wasn’t raining!

We hope everybody had as much fun as us and we look forward to seeing you at the next ECCTG event!
