Since the last newsletter there have been no horse trials to report, but a brilliant win in the Novice Section of the<br />
Meon Riding <strong>Club</strong> Hunter Trials at Iping has rounded off a fantastic season for Amy Giraudet and Badger - 1<br />
second over the optimum time. How good was that! Also on good form this year was Tara Kelly and Apple, who<br />
came 3rd in the open class of the last Hunter Trial at Fair Oak.<br />
Tara and Amy were joined by Penny Ibbott on Mozart and Amy Leather on Calypso for the Team Chase at Fair Oak<br />
where they came 7th out of about 16 teams.<br />
Although Horse Trials go quiet over the winter period there are plenty of indoor Dressage and Show Jumping<br />
competitions being held - so go out and get some practise in ready for the spring. Also, don't forget our show jumping<br />
and dressage training sessions, to help brush up on your skills under instruction.<br />
We will start our cross country training on Sunday 25 March 2012 at Fair Oak, Rogate. This will be for all levels,<br />
including minimus, as Fair Oak have a lovely little 1'6" course in their first field. Our next training date will be 2 June<br />
2012 at Coombelands, Pulborough for Mini, Novice and Intermediate levels.<br />
If you are wanting to enter our competitions held at both these venues this is a very good opportunity to practise over<br />
the cross country fences.<br />
For training you need to be under control in a wide open space with a good positive attitude!<br />
Don't forget to get THREE starred rallies at any of the winter activity days if you are hoping to do team competitions<br />
next year.<br />
