BRANCH NEWS JANUARY 2021
Dear Members & Parents,
I hope you are all keeping well and safe,
I am so sorry that again we have had to cancel some of our PC activities. However, looking ahead, we have compiled our calendar to mid summer and so there is something we can all look forward to along with long sunny days and dry fields.
Membership is now handled by PCHQ. Please check when your Renewal is due as the flagging system is not always reliable and if you are not rejoined you are not covered by Pony Club insurance.
Wishing you all good health and happiness for 2021. I am very much looking forward to seeing you all again.
Heather
(District Commissioner)

Winter Pop Up Dressage Series!
We are delighted to bring you all the Winter Pop Up Dressage Series (info and entry form below) this is open to everyone so get your friends & family to join in there are tests for all.
Great fun to do, (especially in lockdown) really good to see your progression through the series and your marks improving. We have included the area dressage tests and the area eventing tests this time, so anyone thinking of putting their name forward for teams in 2021, this is a fantastic way to get started by entering the relevant class and you can then work with your coach to improve your marks!
Due to November lockdown, the November tests don’t need to be in until mid December to enable you to get out to an arena if you need to. Should the lockdown be extended the closing date will extend too so that nobody misses out.
Any questions just get in touch kelliedava@aol.com/07525627744
I will look forward to receiving your entries!
Kind regards

NEWS FROM 2019 BELOW
..AREA EVENTING RESULTS 2019
This year the Area Eventing was held at Alnwick Ford, hosted/run by Morpeth, North Northumberland and Newcastle & North Durham Branches who ran a very well organised and successful event for us all. Thank you also to the helpers from our own branch who spent their day jump judging and helping out behind the scenes. Without these people giving up their time the rest of us would not have had a competition to take part in. Also thanks to Ashley Suddes and Barbie Clarkson for time spent training teams.
We had an extremely successful day with our members, some of whom had had a very quick change from Zone Games on Saturday in Scotland to get to the Eventing with different horses on Sunday morning. As can always be predicted, we ended up with some members being unable to take part at the last minute through illness, injury or horse problems, they all have our utmost sympathy as it is a bitter blow to have trained and been selected to take part and then be unable to be there on the day.
NOVICE 90
Our two Novice teams were both placed and one is off to The Championships. There were many novice individual placings too.
TEAM 2nd PLACE – QUALIFIED FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
Ava Marsden 4th
Laura Ridley 2nd
Charlee Rayson
Sally Dent 4th
TEAM 6TH PLACE
Fern Anderson
Abby Forsyth

Emily Davidson 3rd – QUALIFIED FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
Emily Holden
Fin Marsden 5th
Abby Foster
Cameron Crawford 6th
Katie Wood 5th
SENIOR OPEN 90

Georgina Clarkson 1st – QUALIFIED FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
Emi Rowell 2nd – QUALIFIED FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS
Jack Donaldson
OPEN 110
Lucy Bailey 2nd – QUALIFIED FOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

ZONE GAMES
Well the South Northumberland Games crew did us proud at the Pony Club Mounted Games Zones Final in Scotland.
Seniors were up first, the As came 8th and Qualified for the Pony Club Championships and the Bs came 12th. I’d like to make a special mention to Milles Dacosta Evans who rode at Zones in her first games competition after only 3 intense training sessions. Millie you were fab and an asset to the team well done!
Juniors were next and started with a fabulous win in the tack and turnout. Our team was not only the cleanest but the politest team at the Zone final which we all need to be very proud of.
Juniors came 4th and also qualified for Pony Club Championships.
Pairs round off the day in what can only be described as the most fast and furious competition I’ve seen in a while. The competition was dominated by exceptionally good Scottish teams with all Area 2 teams clustered together in the final placing. Our pair rode very well and came 10th.
The members that will represent our club in PC Games at the Pony Club Championships this August are:
Seniors: Ella Pigg, Jemima Stewart, Sally Dent, Tessa Stephenson, Ava Marsden and Connie Henderson.
Juniors: Nancy Pigg, Sarah Willey, Megan Fort, Charlie Bailey and Bea Stephenson.
Well done all from a very proud Lisa Quinn.x
