Hi folks!

Summer is merrily bowling along, and it’s hard to believe that we have had four shows already! The points tables are shaping up nicely, you can see these on the website. Remember we present 1st – 4th overall, so there is always the chance of a trophy at the end of the year! A printed version of the points book will be at the next show, for those of you who want a browse on the day.

Details of our Training/ Fun Day are featured in this newsletter too. I’m sure the clinic places will go like mad, so get your entries in quickly! You can download the Training Day entry form here.

Our car park has returned to normal, as the haylage has finally been cut and baled. I will still ask that all cars park by the hedges, away from the horsebox lines for safety purposes, but you will have more room now for both parking and working in!

Read the newsletter for details of extra jumping classes to pick teams, and details of the training day.

See you on the 24th!

We are delighted to have been awarded a grant from the Manchester Airport Community Trust Fund towards safety cups and new jumps for the showjumping rings. These will purchased in the coming months.

Thank you so much to Manchester Airport, this allows us to invest even more into the club.

Hey all,

Here we are kicking on through the season and it’s already June! We are getting geared up toward the second half of the season now, and have been busily organizing the prizes, rosettes and sashes for the North West Show Jumping Finals, the North West Working Hunter Finals and the Blue Chip Showing Finals.

They all look absolutely stunning, and I am proud to say that no competitor will go home without a rosette and prize of the medal/trophy/ commemorative badge variety. We like to make a fuss of our competitors! So I wish all of you the best of luck in qualifying for these fab finals. I promise you will NOT be disappointed.

We will be having some new jumps arriving before the finals (had my design head on again), and I look forward to seeing you try them out…

Get those pre-entries in, and see you on show day!!

Everything you need to know for our next show!

Sunday 26th June 2011 @ Cheshire Riding School Showground

After our very windy show in May we return on Sunday 26th June with a Medal Show. We had a huge number of emails from you saying how much you enjoyed the show and a lot of people got involved on Horse Gossip to say what a great show you had. Thank you as always for your support.

We return on Sunday 26th June with a medal show. All class winners take home a medal. Qualifiers include UK Showing, Midarc, Beaver Hall Championships, Equifest, Blue Chip North West Showing Championships, North West Working Hunter Championships and North West Show Jumping Championships.

If you’re coming along let us know at our Facebook event page!

The photographer will be Geminieye.

We’ve got ShowJumping, Working Hunter, Showing, Equitation, Handy Pony, Gymkhana and don’t forget our new classes which include Racehorse to Riding Horse and Foreign Breeds. Unfortunately we cannot say what time individual classes will start as it depends on how busy each class is!

All classes are £8 to non-members. If you would like to become a member of Bridgewater Riding Club ask the show secretary on the day or check out the memberships page.

4. What are your rules? Read the schedule information carefully and check out the rules page.

5. Is the show on? Only in the event of bad weather will we cancel. A decision is made on Friday evening. We will post on the website, Facebook and Twitter if the show is cancelled by Saturday morning.

We look forward to welcoming you all on Sunday 26th June!!

We have had to take the unfortunate step of cancelling our Saturday 4th June Fun Day.

We have had a record breaking start to year with our monthly shows and clinics being incredibly busy, this together with promoting the North West Showjumping & Working Hunter Championships in August and Blue Chip North West Showing Championships in September. As such we unfortunately don’t have the capacity and time to organise the Fun Day next Saturday.

For those of you who attend our shows (and read the recent feedback on Horse Gossip and Facebook) will know we never put on a show half heartedly. We are a 100% committed to running quality shows which are value for money and improve our members’ ability. With the limited time available it would be unjust for us to run the Fun Day on June 4th.

We have decided to concentrate on the August 13^th Fun Day instead. There will be a dressage competition, clear round, and Show Jumping, Showing and Working Hunter clinics. The Working Hunter clinic in August will be with Jo Callwood, who is the HOYS Working Hunter Champion!

We are very sorry to everyone who was considering coming along but we look forward to seeing you at our Sunday 26th June Medal Show and of course the Saturday 13th August Fun Day!
