Emma makes the trip to Royal Windsor


Club member Emma Mealing made the trip to Royal Windsor Horse show last weekend, after qualifiying for the Topscore earlier in the year. After a 2am start (that's commitment for you!) to get to Windsor for 6am, Emma and her pony Rod did really well to come 9th in the first round.

They didn't qualify for the Championships but a lovely day was had by all. Bet they slept well when they got home!

Becky Daniels and Plum Gregg also made the trip to Windsor - watch this space to see how they got on.

Help please!

As you know we can't run events without your help - we really need people to help run the Area SJ on Sunday 30 May.

We need writers to help the BSJA judges, tack checkers and ring stewards. If you can only spare a few hours we need people for the Style ring which will start at around 10am and finish around 2pm - for this we need a writer, tack checker and ring steward. The intermediate / open and novice rings start around 9.30 and finish around 4pm.

Refreshments will be provided throughout the day - yes we know cake goes a long way in bribing people!

We also need help for a couple of hours on Saturday 29 May to help set up. We'll start at 10am and with plenty of hands on deck it should only take a couple of hours.

Please contact Cindie if you can help cindiebunce@sky.com or 07810 178520
