Welcome to Nidd  Valley Riding Club…

Founded in 1967 by Ruth Cuthbertson and Romola Webster.  The club originally met in a field belonging to John Webster on what is now the site of St James' Retail Park at Knaresborough.

 

The Riding Club caters for senior members only.  Currently we have over 100 members with interests in a wide range of equestrian activities including Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country.

Show Jumping Team Event Report -  Richmond 18th July

 

Firstly a very big thank you to Judith Charlesworth, Hazel Padgett, Di O’Toole and Connie for giving up there valuable time to help at the event.  All the team members very much appreciated the help, also to Sarah Williams who came and supported and helped on the day after her ride went unsound.

 

Novice Team

 

Gerald Dawson – Narrow Escape

Louise Hannington – Mr Darcy the Optamist

Pam Smith - Ben

Rachel Mackie – King of Swing

 

The novice teamed was place 6th overall

 

Intermediate Team-

 

Rebecca Dent – Jarva Lily

Sarah Gill – Rupert

Sara Bryant – College Diamond

 

The intermediate team were down to 3 members but came 6th with Sara Bryant also being placed 3rd as an individual.

 

The days leading up to the event were a bit fraught to say the least!! Louise’s ride went lame and she took on Gerald Dawson,s ride and made it look very easy even though she had only ridden Darcy a few times.

Rachel’s ride was a young 4 year old who took it all in his stride, and many thanks to Pam who stepped in at the very last minute.

Sarah Gill had to drag Rupert out of semi retirement at the very last minute to compete.

 

All the final results of the day will be posted on the web site when they become available

As with all equestrian activities, we accept there is an element of risk when competing no matter what the level.  An incident with a horse and rider occurred at the Combined Event.  Sophia Mills would like to thank all those who helped on the day, with special thanks to “the first is Sara Bryant for looking after Harry while I got taken to hospital and also to a girl called Mel who did the dressage in the morning for driving me to the hospital and another girl who also just did the dressage in the morning called Annette (I think) and also if you can, would you put a thank you in the news letter as many more people helped me.” Thank you, Sophia Mills.

 

Nidd Valley Riding Club would like to extend our thanks to everyone who assisted Sophia on the day.  We wish Sophia a speedy recovery and we look forward to seeing her again at future events.
