Badge Report<\/h4>\n

Nearly 40 of our Flint & Denbigh members achieved their mini and main clipping badges. All of the members were fantastic with our older members all having a go at clipping a pony. Huge thanks to Ruth for being brave enough to lend us a fluffy pony, and also to Bethan and Mari for allowing us to turn their yard into a pony hair salon!<\/p>\n

We are now looking for members to join us for the Pony Club quiz in February. Please email Suzanne if interested. We will have some training sessions beforehand which are always lots of fun.<\/p>\n

Halloween Fun at Ystrad<\/h4>\n

Members had lots of Halloween fun at Ystrad with our very scary witchy instructor and her black cat! They played lots of fun spooky games, helped the witch find ingredients for a horrible soup and finished off by eating bats (made of chocolate!)! Older members were slightly more sophisticated and practiced their dressage tests for Sunday\u2019s Area competition!<\/p>\n

Thank you so much to Debbie for being worthy of an Oscar with her hilarious performance!<\/p>\n

Ella Dowber<\/h4>\n

Ella (a former member of the branch) will be taking part in a BYS charity race. The race takes place at Newbury and Wetherby racecourse this November. 19 riders are stepping far beyond their comfort zones to take on the challenge of a lifetime, racing a mile on the flat.<\/p>\n

Winter League Show Jumping – Results<\/h4>\n

On Saturday the Winter League Show Jumping teams had a great day at Kelsall Hill. The courses were full up and cleverly built to test out all the riders. As usual, our members rode with skill and determination, and handled the day’s ups and downs incredibly well. Our members are always a credit to our branch in their riding, team spirit, resilience, and turnout! Kelsall is a great venue, and when things don’t go quite to plan on the pony, chips in the caf\u00e9 with friends soon get rid of the disappointment! Thanks to the Tanatside and Berwyn & Dee Pony Clubs for hosting a great day.<\/p>\n

Next Sunday is our turn to host and give back to other Pony Clubs. The children had a great time helping last year, so please make sure you put your name down on the app to help. This is also a great opportunity for all our members to come and see what WL is all about. All are welcome to come and get involved! See you all there.<\/p>\n
