Small jump rally at Lanes Farm, October 31st
Feedback on Facebook from Pamela on the rally:
AWSOME SDRC baby / small jump clinic this morning with Whiskers . A great clinic for young / green horses or for riders like me who haven’t jumped for a long while and want to take it slow and low. Whiskers loves jumping and we are just starting out together in this phase, it’s a great safe place with lots of encouragement and a small nudge out of comfort zone.. which could be something as simple as a jump down the ‘long side’. Thanks Caron for coaching and guidance … I think we all came away smiling. Well done Emma and Carly .. was great to meet you both. Would love to do another , fab winter training!

First Timer Cross country at Rabson Manor, October 23rd
Christina, Rachel and Sara had a great time at Rabson Manor in a first timer cross country rally. It was not all jumping, and all three horses went happily through the water, in and out of the sunken road, and over the ditch. Sara's horse was not at all sure of the ditch and so Caron walked him over it a few times, with and without Sara to familiarise him with it. A good lesson that a cross country course has all sorts of questions to ask, even away from the jumps.

Huge congratulations to Claire Burton and The Musketeer on coming 4th at the Riding Club DTM championships at Bury Farm on Sunday. Claire and Mouse scored over 70% and were less than 1% behind the winner in a massive class in what was only her second time riding this test in public. All the practise at home paid off with obviously expert coaching and guidance from Caron Roberts .
Fantastic performance.
Fantastic performance.

BRC National Eventing Championships, August 7th
Ben Newman with CHF Chloe
Ben Newman with CHF Chloe
National Champions again; this time with CHF Chloe!
A competitive outing at the RC National eventing championships saw us finishing 1st in our arena and 2nd overall, on our dressage score of 32.
After going up and down hills on a long, hard course, and then being held just before the water due to a fall from the rider in front, I couldn’t be more proud of this young mare.
Who would believe that this was just her sixth ever event, having came over from Ireland last October, having done nothing prior to that! She’s just a star
Thank you ground Crew Eleanor, Kathryn, Sarah, and Tina.
Up to the 100’s now

Area 9 Show Jumping Qualifier, July 25th
Today 4 SDRC members headed off to Rectory Farm for the area showjumping qualifiers. Fiona Symes, Tina Starling, and Eleanor Newman for the team 80cm, Ben Newman for the individual 90cm and Fiona also did the 75cm style jumping.
Firstly BIG congratulations to Fiona for winning the style jumping.
Tina and I were chuffed with 2 clear rounds and a very speedy jump off, 2 seconds between us! Unfortunately Fiona had a ‘senior moment’ and missed a jump, we’ve all been there and done it but this meant no team result.
Ben had a very stylish 2 rounds on his young horse sadly rolling a couple of poles.
As usual we all enjoyed the team spirit and you can’t have an outing without cake!

Well done to our Senior Horse Trials Team, Fiona Symes, Naomi Wright and Tina Starling - 3 double clears and 5th place.
And for Ben Newman it was a successful day out. An improved dressage for 33, 1 unfortunate pole show jumping, and another super clear round of cross country.
A well deserved win for CHF Chloe, so we’re off to the championships, in August
