[Equihunter] A very hot sunny Sunday afternoon saw a really successful day for Team Equihunter this Sunday. Our team rider Libby Newman came in first twice in the same afternoon. Well done to Libby.

With temperature soaring to 30 degrees locally and with no wind or clouds to provide any respite, jumping conditions were challenging for both horses and riders at the Felbridge Showground.

The young rider entered two classes, Class 6, the Blue Chip Feed Balancer Pony Newcomers 1st Round and then, Class 7, the Squib Demolition Pony Foxhunter 1st Round … and we are pleased to say that it was a very successful day when Libby gained a first place at both Double Firstheights.

When asked what was the most challenging part of the competition was Libby said that she was most concerned about the ponies getting overheated and made sure that there was plenty of water available for them straight after the competition came to a close.

A lot of hard work and training has gone into making this day such a success and that

It was a late finish on the day for both seniors and juniors as jumping was still progressing well into the early evening, but with the cloudless sky continuing late into the day, some riders took full advantage of the the slightly cooler evening air temperatures to continue with the more demanding competition classes.

 

Felbridge next holds affiliated competitions for Seniors on Saturday 20th July (further details and schedule here) … and also on Sunday 21st July (schedule here).

[Equihunter] Saturday was somewhat how we like to remember English summers to be, warm, dry, a slight breeze and just a light dusting of cotton wool clouds in the sky above.

To make a good day a perfect one, our sponsored rider Libby Newman scored a first place in the British Showjumping Discovery Class.

We took the relatively short drive from the Felbridge Show Ground towards Brighton and set off in glorious dry and warm conditions. The traffic was kind too.

The Royal Leisure Centre is located in part of the South Downs National Park, with stunning views of the Sussex countryside. Look to the south of the outdoor arena, towards the rolling chalk hills of the Downs and you could clearly see the myriad of Para-gliders circling in the warm thermals above the famous Devil’s Dyke.

It was a a busy day with a very full schedule and The Royal Leisure Centre attracted a good attendance.

Well done to all those who were there on the day and a special mention to all those that were placed.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE SURREY SPRING SHOW SOCIETY

We all know of Cancer, it happens to other people. The Surrey Spring Show has been established by a group of friends who have all been touched by this disease. The idea to raise money with a charity show began when dear friends Sam Holland & Sue Alkin were both diagnosed. The Show is being run to raise funds for The Royal Marsden Hospital (where Sam continues to receive her excellent treatment); and St.Catherine’s Hospice (Crawley) that cared so wonderfully for Sue. The committee and everyone involved have given their time for free and every penny of the proceeds will go to the two charities. Thank you for your kind and generous support.
