Joanna and Ronan qualified here for the nationals, but we heard earlier this week that Austin has been selected to represent the new stepping stones competition at the champs. He will be part of a team of eight for the central region, of which only two come from Area 7 and against really stiff competition. Well done Austin!

It has been 2 whole years since we have been able to do a face to face awards evening, so we thought what better way to celebrate than to combine it with a branch celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
It will take place on Friday, 3rd June at Woodland Grange, Leamington Spa.
So that our younger members can join in, it will start at 1.30pm and we then plan a buffet lunch, presentation of 2021 awards and some fun indoor and outdoor activities.
So please put Friday 3rdJune in your diary. More details will follow including how to book your places.

Well Done to all of our Eventers at the Arena Eventing spring qualifier at Dallas Burston.
There were rosettes in the 70cm for Ella Mae Woods and Lucy Talbot with some great riding from Sam Grindal, Freddie Spicer, Jasmine Staveley and Myla Reeves
In the 80cm Sammy Borland rode a great round to come 3rd and Qualify for the Spring Festival. There were also some great rounds from Lilly Cullen, Ellie Miller Lillia hart, Ruby Hicks, Harriet Billyeald, Heidi Wager, Lucy Talbot, Daisy Walters, Ella Mae Woods and Freddie Spicer.
Sammy in the 80cm
In the very competitive and soggy 90cm Leila Ogilvie won with a brilliant round. Sammy Borland and Ellie Miller both rode beautiful rounds but just missed qualifying by a few seconds. Lilly Cullen rode another great round as did Harriet Billyeald in spite of a few naughty antics by her pony. Abi Gillard and Lilli Parker also rode very well as did Joanna Leadley.
Leila in the 90cm
Finally in the 100cm Ellie Miller rode an impeccable round to be placed 4th though sadly missed out on qualifying by 7 seconds.
Well Done to every rider, horse and their support teams!
