REPORT ON WINTER DRESSAGE EVENING

Held at Rodbaston College on 5th February, the event proved to be another success.  Excellent facilities meant there was plenty of room for parking and unloading, whilst the quality surface in the warm up arena gave you the impression that your horse had really got the hang of lightness and cadence!   Everyone who took part was given a BHS rosette in addition to those awarded to the top placed riders.

Results for Class 1: (Walk/Trot Test)
 1st – Lisa Burton – Trefnant Prince
2nd=  Sue Insul – Diamond Minstrel
2nd=  Nikita Del Giudice – Morbar Katie Hanna
4th – Jo Broadhurst – Cobweb

 Winner of Class 2: (Prelim)
Catherine Starkey – Coral Bay

Thanks once again to all those who helped to steward the event.

Report on Spring Pleasure Ride
Despite the rain, 44 riders turned out for the spring Pleasure Ride across Cannock Chase.  Ten miles of well planned route provided an excellent ride with scenic views and one or two excellent spots for a good canter!  Despite coming back looking like drown rats, it was all good fun.  Thanks once again to Lesley Simmons for organising, and to all the stewards who ensured safe road crossings.
