DC Report

~ DC Report ~

Hi everyone,

At our last rally, (4th June, 2017), we had 4, with 21riders taking part. The weather

was kind to us, and, as usual, it was a busy rally. As always, riders enjoyed the

barrel work, as well as testing their skills over some different cross country jumps;

Nicki challenged riders with their Flat work, while Sue had another interesting pole

grid to try.

We had:-

Nicki Chalmers- Flatwork

Mel Gillespie- Cross Country

Pat Collins- Barrel Racing

Sue Hutson- Pole Work.

Next rally- Look out for the program for this rally. You will all ride a dressage test

and be judged, then do a SJ course and a Cross Country round. We will be having a

set up day on Saturday (July 1st) from 1pm, to number, flag and clean up some of

the XC Course. Hopefully, with enough helpers, it won’t take too long. Nicki will

also talk about the help needed, and work out a roster, for the upcoming HT & CT

Event. This will be a big weekend, but hopefully be a great learning day for all.

Julie Robins

MPC Members Out ‘n’ About

~ MDHPC Winter Woollies Gymkhana 2017 ~

Ella H, and her pony, Abby, recently attended the MDHPC Gymkhana They placed

in 7 out of 8 events, in both pony club and open rings. This was their first

competition together. Super effort girls

Elly C took her new horse, Ashmead Mansfield, for his first ever outing, to the

MDHPC WW Gymkhana. Literally coming straight from the ‘breakers’, un-brushed

(even had hay in his tail, lol), and wearing a head-stall, (we don’t normally attend

‘shows’). Manny behaved impeccably, and the combination received a ribbon for

their efforts. Elly is very excited about the future with her new boy.

HT & CT Working Bee- Saturday July 22

Our upcoming HT & CT will be a fantastic event, and a great way to ‘show off’ our

‘ALL HANDS ON DECK’

We need as many people as possible, Club members, family, friends, (anyone

really), to help out for the whole weekend, PLEASE. If you could set aside just an

would you kindly let Nicki know, to assist her with planning details.
