Those “beady eyed” amongst you may have noticed a change at the very top of the newsletter! 

Having stepped into the huge gap filled by Alison Russell’s departure as Chairwoman last year, Pam Horrigan has been acting chairwoman since then.  Pam had always planned that this would be a temporary solution so we have been delighted that she has kept the role until now. 

I am sure you will join the committee in thanking her for all her hard work over the last 6 months.  Here are a few words from our new chair, Janet Sheen.   

“Hi.  I  have been asked to take on the role as Chairwoman of the New Forest Riding Club.  For my sins I have been riding since the age of 15 (probably too long to remember) and have actively helped with the Pony Club and Riding Club for many years.  In this time I have seen many changes certainly in terms of horse quality, and the numbers of people participating in our sport.  The days of riding two up with my daughter to a show are now certainly over, however, they were great days even though we were not always successful.  I believe as a club we have some great values, and I am lucky enough to have a strong committee who are active and very involved.  If there are issues or topics you would like discussed please do not hesitate to drop me a line.”
