We have quite a number of junior members with the Riding Club so please read this advice from Cheshire Police as there is a man acting suspiciously in Northwich at the moment. Mums and Dads please pass on the message. Even if you don’t live in Northwich, remember to never accept lift from strangers.

Hi folks,
Well the weather held beautifully, didn’t it? Lots of lovely sunshine in April gave us a fantastic first two shows. So lovely to see old friends and also to make new ones. Welcome to all you new members and welcome back to you familiar faces!
R.I.P…to our old caravan! I’m afraid age and being buried in the ground (very mobile) finally caught up with our old ‘secretary’s office’, and he has shuffled off to the scrapyard in the sky. Our new operations hub is a little more glamorous, as you will see at the next show!! We’re very pleased with it.
Plenty of stuff going on in this newsletter, so have a good read. Fun day details, last chance for Lynn Russell places, charity details and of course our fantastic junior hope it’s providing important information on pony care as well as the usual fun and games.
So best of luck to you for May, get you pre entries in to make life easier on show morning!!

An experienced knowledgeable home is looking for a Lead Rein / 1st Ridden Pony for on loan. A semi/retired PC/RC pony would be perfect.
Your pony would be loved and well cared for on a quiet, privately owned yard alongside 2 others (a horse and pony). The yard is near Northwich, Cheshire.
Should you know anyone or are someone please contact Carol Brougham 0790 229 0509
After 2 back to back shows in April, it seems like a very long time since our last show! Our last 2 shows have been incredible, our Easter Show was one of the best ever and that isn’t just us saying that. We had a huge number of emails from you saying how much you enjoyed the show. Thank you as always for your support.
We return on Sunday 22nd May with a trophy show. All class winners take home a trophy. 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.
This show will have Traditional Gypsy Cob Association (TGCA) ridden qualifier before lunch in the equitation ring, and in-hand directly after the judge has had a lunch break. There are rosettes to the highest placed solid colour too!
If you’re coming along let us know at our Facebook event page!
The photographer will be Geminieye.
