POINTS BOARD
Remember that there are trophies and awards to be won based on the Club points’ system. You will receive one
point for competing in an Area competition, and points for being placed in any Area or Club show or competition.
The points so far are currently being tallied following the recent area competitions and will be published next month
FUN SHOW
At the Fortune Centre, Avon Tyrrell on Saturday 13 March 2010
This is out first show of the year and this is always a good time to introduce young stock to the show ring, as it has a very relaxed atmosphere. It is also a good idea to bring along your older horses and ponies to give them a taste of the year to come, or get them used to an indoor school.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible there (collecting points!). The schedule was enclosed with the last newsletter.

Entries are on the day.
EVENING TALK
At Exbury Club, Exbury on Tuesday 23 March 2010, 7.30pm
We have two speakers for the evening. Richard Simpson (who trains people with horse boxes) will be giving a talk on trailers and the laws on trailers and horseboxes. Richard will be accompanied by Allison Tilbury (whom I know most of you know from our local Police), who will help us with the best way to secure our boxes.
This will be followed by Jenny Tilyer who is a very knowledgeable lady, to talk about Stallions used on the Forest.
This should be a very enjoyable and interesting evening. The talk is open to members and non members at £2.00 per head. There is a bar at Exbury, which opens at 7.00pm.
COME FOR A HACK
Janesmoor Pond, Fritham – Sunday 27 March 2010
Meet in the car park at Janesmoor Pond at 10.30am. Please arrive early enough to tack up etc., ready to ride at 11.00am. Anne Pearce will be leading this ride of approx 1 ½ hours, returning to the start point. The pace will be leisurely and should suit everyone who would like to take part.
If you are interested please give Anne a ring on 07810 158096 or email her – clippyclop@talktalk.net. This is just to give Anne some idea of the people who would like to come. If you have any favourite rides you would like to share for future hacks, Anne would also be pleased to hear from you.
SPRING DRESSAGE
At Woodington Training Centre, East Wellow on Sunday 11 April 2010
The Schedule is attached for the Dressage Competition. Please enter early as classes fill very quickly.
We are offering a "Have a Go Pairs" as a fun class ‐ just find someone to ride Prelim 7 with, that’s all. Don’t worry about matching horses and riders, and you can have it called ‐ just give it a try. It may encourage us to enter Members at the Areas as a Pair. If you would like to try but have no one to ride with give Anne a call on 07810 158096 and she can put people in touch.
We are also having a Draw again which worked really well at our Autumn Competition. £1.00 per ticket to win a Training Session with Heather Ashley (List 2a Judge) ‐ she will help you whatever your level of riding, whether you are competitive or not ‐ she is a very sympathetic trainer. Tickets are available on the day ‐ proceeds are going towards a Prize Fund for the future.
