It was great to see so many of you at the AGM, with loads of ideas for 2022. Thanks so much to Sarah Bowden for her talk on equine sports massage.
Area Dressage Qualifier
Well done to the VOU RC members who took part in this on Sunday 28th November, at Kings.
We had team 5th - well done to Donna Harris, Emma Bevan, Julie Lees and Kirstie Kirk. And Emma Bevan and Donna Harris had individual places too. A great end to the year! But that’s it now for the 2021 qualifiers – we’re looking forward to 2022!
Area Dressage Qualifiers - 25/7/21
I'm sat with a cup of tea I thought I would do a mega shout out to the ladies who competed for the Vale of Usk RC family yesterday.
Our prelim team are off on the Lincoln road trip yay ! But what a massive achievement it is - and they are....
Ellen Morgan has two very little girls and is still breast feeding dear little Jenny - who had to come along for the road trip to the area eventing, but luckily she is now starting to take a bottle so Ellen can leave her for a little while! Hats off to you Ellen & lovely Todd
Coral Ducroq is on Bailey who is just massive and a baby it was her 1st outing on grass on him and she did brilliantly - despite her dog being in the vets all weekend really poorly! He’s home now though I believe poor Bailey has got to do the long road trip but I know you will have sooo much fun on him xx
Judith Powell hasn’t taken her pony anywhere for two years and she came out the test still bouncing!! Super proud of you Judith xxx
And Emma Bevan who is the busiest lady I’ve ever met! She's flat out selling her gorgeous ponies and beautiful Steely does a cracking test and she’s been celebrating her birthday all weekend too! Happy birthday Emma!
Ladies you are going to have a blast let’s hope the sj teams can join you they are all off jumping next weekend !!
Then our novice team!
Julie Lees has the most beautiful Ted ! He’s just lovely to watch and she rode the Novice 39. OMG I read it and was like no way could I do that test !!! She smashed it and is such a team player when she didn’t want to run him on the ground. Thank you!
Judith again bringing the fabulous 20-year-old Stagamore out to play, she was brilliant he’s still got it!
And lastly Johnny & I. We had a go a Novice 28 which I quite like really and he tried his heart out for me and I was mega proud of him.
Our team was 3rd!!
To each and every one of you who went road and spent your Sunday riding for us I thank you sooo much
The ground was soo dry and hard and cracks and no grass cover. It was lumpy bumpy and very very strange to ride on!
I do think we need to re-think the summer dressage and show jumping. I know it’s supposed to be run on grass but if it has rained, like it was due to, the ground would of been unrideable! I think in fact we were very lucky it was dry.
But anyhow... onto the show jumping, which I’m sure is on old pasture ground and will be perfect. I am absolutely gutted I’m not coming and to all our members competing, HAVE FUN!
