Winter Team Dressage Sunday 14th November Area Dressage Round Up
Our team came 12th on Sunday out of 25 teams entered, a good result considering the day! The journey was made very difficult by the closure of the A1 northbound so everyone had to make a serious detour in order to reach REC. So many thanks to Rachel, Sara, Kate and Louise for making the journey and also to Rachel and Sara who had more than enough time to wait between classes!
Individually, congratulations to Rachel Mackie who came 2nd in her warm up test and =4th in the qualifier after arriving at about the time she was due in! great result. Sara Williams came 5th in her warm up test and =11th in the qualifier after having had her riding boots stitched up between tests! Kate Birkett didn't do a warm up but still managed =11th in her section and unfortunately Louise had a bit of a "naughty pony" day and is putting it down to experience!
Several of the judges have commented on the exceptionally high standard this year and think that some of the competitors should be doing affiliated. For full results click

Team Event Report - 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 Dressage and Show Jumping Event FULL RESULTS NOW AVAILABLE Classes 1 3 5 & 7 click

JUNE 2010 at Red House Estate Moor Monkton, York YO26 8JQ By kind permission of Major and Mrs A Gordon 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.

Riding Clubs Dressage 18th July 2009 Prelim team: Novice team: Riding Test team: Well done and many thanks to those involved, particularly
Judith who stepped in last minute for the prelim team at short notice, and
Trish for upgrading at short notice to the Novice team due to illness - this
meant we could still have a team entry as it was best of 3 scores to count. In addition thanks to those who stayed and helped
steward/write at the event, it was much appreciated and helps the event run
smoothly. Area Horse trials Bishop Burton
