All points have now been updated and include the August show. We would like to thank you for your patience and apologise for any delay. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday for the Trophy show!

Hi folks,

Well it’s come to that time of year, the final show of the season…. We are busy collating and checking the points so far. Please don’t worry if you have a points discrepancy on the website, we are aware, and anyone who has emailed us with the details, we are sorting it!

It was a fantastic North West Showjumping champs over August Bank Holiday. Well done to all our members who attended, and represented the club so well.

It will soon be time to order your tickets for Presentation Night!

I will be sending a form out with the points winners list, but in the meantime we will get an order form onto the website asap. We will also have order forms at the show on 27th.

This month’s charities

Are HAPPA, I’m sure you are all aware of the fantastic work they do for horses and ponies, and for our human charity we have the British Lung Foundation. This was suggested by Lisa Kirwan, who sadly lost a family member to
lung cancer recently. Our thoughts go to you and your family, Lisa, and we hope our donation will help this worthwhile cause.

September is Championship time!

There will be 12 championships at the final show, with shashes, rosettes and trophies to Champion and Reserve, and medals to all forward. Main Ring, Ring 1 and Handy Pony will all be decided on a points system, but the other rings will require 1st and 2nd places to return for their respective championships. There will be a WH champion, separate In Hand and Ridden championships for both Showing and Family, Equitation, Ridden Hunter, separate Pony and Horse champions in Main Ring, separate Junior and Senior champions in Ring 1, and the highest score over all 4 classes in Handy Pony will take the Championship there. Are we good to you or what?! Let’s have a fantastic final
show for 2009!

Please don’t forget to return any perpetual trophies at the last show, in a clean condition please, and professional machine engraving only.

Thank you all for coming along this year and giving us a great season, I will see you all at the final show!

Hi everyone!

Well done to all of you who braved the horrid weather forecast and came to the July show. It worked out pretty good in the end, everyone was very sensible in the showjumping ring and didn’t go hell for leather in the jump offs to give Becky and myself a heart attack. Well done all, we do appreciate it!

By the way, our jumps are now officially becoming famous. There is a thread on the Horse and Hound online forum from someone who came to the show and was terrified, but jumped well over some very scary fences. Do go and have a look, and you can all have your say too!

The Facebook page is getting more popular, with loads putting up photos and commenting on the shows. I urge you all to join, it’s great fun.

So enjoy your newsletter, and see you all on the 23rd.
