We have a full year of events as you will see on the events page, but may we remind you that these events can only go ahead if we get the support. 

We would like thank those of you that came to the A.G.M, it was a shame that more of you weren't there to collect your rosettes, but our congratulations go to all of you, we would also like to thank Margaret Newing of West Kent Saddles 07889275988 info@westkentsaddles.co.uk, for sponsoring our Championship Points Rosettes once again. A big thank you to Liz Akenhead and Anne Newman who have resigned from the committee and will be greatly missed.

Permissive Ride

We are sorry to inform you that Mr Ovary has withdrawn the ride at Pixot Hill. This is very unfortunate as our main aim is to promote off road riding and we are always trying to secure more rides, please contact us if you know of any landowners who would be willing to let us have a permissive ride.

If you would like to know more or where our rides are please contact  us.

Clear Round

Our thanks go once again to Terry and Caroline for the use of there facilities, the morning was a great success and very busy. That brings us on to the next Clear Round on the 5th July we will now be holding this at Terrys , we apologize for this change. If there is anyone that is unable to get to Terrys then please email us and we will see if we can help. 

Dressage at Sandhurst Farm

The day went very well, with a good turn out of members, doing well in the walk and trot. Our thanks go to Jo Walker for the use of the venue, and also to Kerry Balmer and Marilyn Green not forgetting Marilyns husband!  check out your placings on results page and photos in the gallery or at: www.photoevents.org.uk.             

Showing Demo At Claybrook Farm

There was a good turn out and the weather was kind to us, Nicole started of by given us some showing tips then brought in her 2 ponies Reg and Magic and showed us how she would get them ready for a show, after tea and biscuits, we were given a short demo in the sand school. See pictures in Gallery

Quiz night At Tudeley Oak

We had about 40 people split into 10 teams competing- just shows you how the mention of "pub" and "grub" can motivate our members!!!

The evening began at 7pm when everyone turned up to have a pre-quiz snack and chat. The quiz kicked off at 8ish and I have discovered I have been blessed with the voice of a fog-horn! lt became apparent that one of the only good things to come out of having had 3 kids, is the ability to SHOUT! you were all very lucky that mid-shout, l didn't go into "nagging mum" mode and send you all up to tidy your rooms!

There was only 1 point between 1st and 2nd place, and the fact that jenny's team 'JAFA' came 1st and my sister's 'FRED's team came 2nd was. l promise, a complete fluke- they were banned from Kent whilst l printed out the questions!

John and Becky (Landlords) were really sweet and donated food vouchers for a prize.As the Alzheimer's society is just around the corner from the pub they are very supportive to the charity and were more than happy to accommodate us all at no cost. We raised just over £100 for the charity. The society does wonderful work, not only with the sufferers of Alzheimer's, but also with their carers and to some they are a much needed life-line and sanity saver.

So a BIG thankyou for coming, and to Helen for doing the scoring and to the staff at the pub for coping with us all.

l hope Kerry and her team are making good use of the poo-picking gloves and l would like to publicly apologise to Peter Male- you were right the seats in the House of Lords are red, but hey, you wouldn't have won even with an extra point!!!Can't always trust the internet!

Many thanks to those who participated and helped make the evening a success.

Rib and Ann

We will be trying to run the Dressage to music as this had to be cancelled at Christmas. We have also introduced a showing demo and 2 dates for clear round, and of course the dressage's, summer show, challenge and hunter trials.

It is also time to start thinking about a worming regime for 2008.Any yearly worming regime should include two important aspects: 1. Accurate weight estimation 2.The importance of running worm egg counts at the beginning and end of grazing season. Your vet can give you all the information you need.
