GOSLING CUP<br />
I have taken over as Gosling Cup Team Manager and would love to hear from anyone who is keen to<br />
take part in the Gosling Cup this August. <strong>The</strong>re have been a few rules changes this year (still to be<br />
confirmed at time of printing).<br />
<strong>The</strong> Gosling Cup is a competition for a team of four and there is also an individual section. <strong>The</strong> team<br />
event consists of Tack and Turnout; Individual Dressage; Team Ride altogether; SJ and XC. All four<br />
scores count throughout the competition which has been running since 1945.<br />
This year the course will be 85 cms and is open to riders who are 16 years and under on the day of the<br />
competition, with one senior rider allowed in a team, on ponies not exceeding 15.2hh. Combinations<br />
who are competing at Intermediate Eventing at Area level are no longer allowed to compete in the<br />
Gosling Cup.<br />
We will need to get together to practice the Team Ride and to see how the ponies get along with each<br />
other - some ponies dont like the Team Ride!! Please let me know if you would like to be considered<br />
for this competition. It is unique with it's own scoring system, which makes it quite special. <strong>The</strong>re is<br />
no need to rush out and buy new equipment or clothing for the turnout - you just need to be really<br />
clean, and there will be lots of help available.<br />
Many thanks, Anne May may13@tinyworld.co.uk<br />
Hunting Report - Children’s Meet<br />
<strong>The</strong> Children’s Meet was held at Street Farm, Long Melford courtesy of Lady Hyde Parker. Monica<br />
very kindly provided nibbles at the meet and it was nice to see so many members out. Sadly due to<br />
the very soggy conditions we were rather curtailed as to where we could go, but Lineage Wood<br />
contained plenty of foxes and provided some action, hopefully some fun was had by all!<br />
