4th February 2018 - Winter Intermediate SJ Qualifiers
A very successful day for SDRC riders at the Winter Intermediate SJ Qualifiers. Starting with the Junior team who came 2nd as a team and Alex (Jane Neilson) 6th & Lou (Siobhan Smith) 5th both had individual placings and Lowenna Davis Won individually :-) Then it was time for the Senior riders who matched them with another team 2nd, missing out on the win by just 1 point ! More individual placings, Clio 4th, Jo 5th and Matt 6th :-) Amy George was competing as an individual for us in the 100 class, poor Amy was fighting the 'lurgy' and managed to jump the first round but was unfortunately not up to jumping the second round, get well soon. Well done all, more great riding and results for the club and thanks to all our supporters. Another fun team outing

The team were Megan Field, Nic Davis, Sarah Tingey, Jo Vincent & Eleanor Newman coming 9th overall out of 27 teams an excellent result. Nic also was 11th overall as individual and 7th in her arena.

A great week of results for club members. Sue & Jaz come 2nd at WWEC on 22nd October in dressage, Faith Jolley also scooped rosettes at WWEC coming 1st & 2nd in her jumping classes.

Lucie took her mum's horse Max out for a turn whilst her horse Steve is off after his fetlock operation; she won the 2'7 with a 7second lead above 2nd place, great result considering Max hasn't jumped for over a year. Nic & Ranny strutted their stuff at Rein & Shine winning the Prelim 7, proving that even starting a hunting season he can still be level headed enough to be collected when required.
Well done everybody, keep your results & achievements coming in.

Results for June
Faith did her first ever ODE. Best Dressage score and a lovely clear round SJ put them in the lead up to the XC phase, sadly a tricky skinny finished them 7th. NSEA Showjumping saw a 2nd place in the 50-60 and a qualification to the Regional Championships. An unlucky pole in the 60-70 and a stop in the 70-80 but a brilliant experience around a 14 jump affiliated track.
Faith has now also qualified for the WPS championships held at Stoneleigh this year with no less than three first prizes in the qualifiers at Northleach. |

Combined Training Championship Aston Le Walls
After a successful qualifier at Rabson Manor SDRC sent two teams to the National Championships on 31st May, held at Aston Le Walls nr Daventry.
Red team was made up of Laura Wall, Sarah Tingey, Eleanor Newman & Lynn Hawkins. Blue team were Nic Davis, Demi Davis, Lucie Humphries & Amanda Fitzgerald.
This was a very long day with some riders getting up at 4.45am to prepare for a start at 10.15, course had to be walked and inspections of horses to match passports undertaken. Demi's horse was also randomly selected for dope testing involving blood tests taken on the spot.
The day ran fairly smoothly with all riders completing their dressage tests (although horses were a little spooky) and then heading off to the show jump ring. There were 32 teams in total and riders were staggered throughout the day with Laura going at 17.10 to finish off. A very complex scoring system of dressage, show jumping & individual scoring meant eventually Blue team came 24th & Red team came 29th. Amanda Fitzgerald on her young horse Max gained an individual 10th place, which is fantastic.
A big thank you must go out to Sarah's daughter Amelia & Clare Macleod for being our volunteers for the proceedings, without them teams would not be able to compete.

This consists of approx. 12 show-jumps followed straight away by around 22 cross country obstacles. Ran on an optimum time for both the sj & xc with 0.4 of a second being added for any time over or under a 10second lea-way. With the best 3 scores counting it was extremely close at the top, there was a little discussion as to whether a step back had been made at one fence thus incurring 20 penalties, SDRC came 2nd overall narrowly missing out on qualification to the championships, Jo & Wonk also got individual 6th place, a great day out for all & the sun shone :-)!

Winter Intermediate Dressage 1st March
SDRC had a trip to Leyland Court in Bristol today for the
intermediate dressage. After lots of teething problems and just a team of 3, we
finally made it and enjoyed a beautiful morning in the sun with Bella riding
her new horse Lotta for the prelim test, only their 2nd competition together
and what a super future they are going to have, fabulous young horse in the
making. Jo and Wonk rode the team novice test and did a lovely test with just a
small sat nav issue and Demi and Stella rode Novice as an Individual, a
beautiful test which I think deserved a better mark. Unfortunately no pretty
ribbons won but some fantastic tests ridden. Then it was all change!! Lynne was
on this afternoon riding elementary and the heavens opened! Lynne, Bubbles
& myself were soaked to the skin (&I had waterproofs on), despite the
sideways rain & hail they pulled off a tremendous test for 70.94% and 6th

This was the first time she had travelled her 6yr old horse Steve on such a long journey, leaving Portsmouth on the overnight ferry at 6pm arriving in St Peters Port at 3am. She had a police escort to the show ground as her lorry (only 7.5t) was too large for the narrow island roads.
Competing on the Friday as part of the team in the 1st round they were in 3rd place. On Saturday she competed in the 1m.20 but was unplaced, Steve also gave the Puissance Wall ago but took a block out at 4ft, it ended at 5'7" seriously big! On Sunday they were down to only 3 members as a horse was lame but all jumped fantastic gaining them overall 2nd position. |

Trip to Lincoln by Demi Davis
considering I had got to bed that morning at 4am after going to a young farmers ball the night before, I was up bright and early to get Stella ready for the long weekend ahead. We left at 1:00pm and arrived around
5pm, just in time to get our stables. I slept like a rock that night but in the morning it was freezing! Whilst mum went to start plaiting up I went and walked both show jumping courses, it was soon time for my first dressage test which went really well to get a team 8th and an individual 6th with 73%, then it was
time for my second dressage test which also went well to get us a team 4th!!
Show jumping we had 1 pole down in each round which was very pleasing. Hopefully
I will get to go again soon but with the senior teams!!

My Trip to Horse Trials Champs by Kerry Alexander
All home safely from the BRC Horse Trials Champs at Swalcliffe. What a fantastic weekend for SDRC and various posts are up for how each horse individually went lots of success stories! I am so very proud of my boys. They behaved impeccably in a very different setting that neither has experienced before! Both were 2nd after dressage. Both had a show jump down and both went clear xc, but with a few time pens, but I wouldn't have ridden any of it any differently.
Jake was a superstar dealing with the roads and tracks and steeplechase. All my fears of whether my little stocky cob could manage it were allayed!! We stormed round the steeplechase with 0.8 of a time pen! He was very confused as to what was going on, going for a nice hack and then jumping in parts!? We pulled in to the 10 min box full of running and the vet only had to check his heart rate once! We then flew round the xc with foot to the floor, although 13 secs over, his little legs had gone as very fast as poss!! I then got off and cried like a baby! He had given me his all, what more could I have asked!?
We have lots of happy memories to keep and all just got on so well, had lots of laughs, and the weather stayed so nice for us!! My thanks go to my fellow team members, Tina, Kerrie and Pip who came in straight after a night shift to make up our team!! We came 4th. Also to Lucie, so pleased Sherrie sound, Kerrie and Lynn on my other team. We came 5th.
Bray individually came 5th in his section and Jake's time dropped us to 13th individually. Also not forgetting Katy and Wonk in the 100 class. Then our team manager Amanda, who did an amazing job also our support
and fellow campers, Jo, Tracy, Sally and family and Demi. Also to Pam for travelling up both days to help, Alex, and to Fran, who's horse has gone lame but still came to support us on the Fri. Thanks to Angela and Teresa & our other members who came up to fill the official helping roles which we have to provide to
enable the teams to compete. Hoping I haven't left anyone out!! Onwards and upwards for SDRC..........!!
