Eventer Trail - 9th September
The weather was hot and although we did not have the numbers we would have liked, everyone had a good time. Peter Stowe was there to help the more Novice riders get over any jumps with which they had a problem in their competitive round, so most went home with a smile on their face!! Class 3 (2'6") was generously sponsored by Coral Herbert - who is sponsored by Smeeth Saddlery of Roman Bank Wisbech and Roman Bank Eventing - Holly Hetherington on Penelope Pitstop was the winner of this Class in a time of 52.79, with a Double Clear; along with her prize money she also received a numnah from the sponsor. In 2nd place Holly on her other pony Ginny, 3rd was Charlotte Pell on Maiden Adventure, 4th Jackie Pell on Bobby's Girl, 5th was Mark Hawkes on Divines Loss and 6th place went to Lisa McConnell. So well done to all our competitors and thank you to our sponsors Smeeth Saddlery and Roman Bank Eventing. The Eventer Course is available for hire up to the 23rd September, give Ann a ring should you want to book it. |

A few of you already know that son, Ben has married his sweetheart and the wedding was held at home. So Nick picked up the "loos" on the teleporter and moved them over to the paddock for the occasion, therefore the "girls" in the yard lost their facilities. Very soon after Nick picked them up again and they moved to a friends farm for his daughter's 21st; we then found this poem on our Livery Notice Board:
Dear Nick
