We thank all competitors who competed at our venue today, which all went well and to time. Today we would like to feature Tina Price who we nickname ‘Marathon Woman’ as she owns at least 10 horses and today she competed on three of her horses and did six tests.  Tina competed on her horses ‘Ghilley’, ‘Bo’ and ‘Cheeky’ and we show a picture below of her in action in Class 3 on her horse – Cheeky.

We hope all who attended our show jumping competion on the 18th March found it challenging especially with the two double sets of jumps which were not for the faint hearted.  We provide the results below and look forward to seeing you all again: Results from Hartpury Qualifier Show Jumping Competition held on Sunday 18th March 2012 Class 1  2’0-2’3 Place Rider Horse 1st Megan Tisshaw Stroodorps Fuliette 2nd Ellie Hall Star 3rd Bethan Doel Billy 4th Libby O’Brian Southern Rose 5th Rosie Williams Gaoth 6th Sally Ingram Twinkel   Class 2  2’3-2’6 Place Rider Horse 1st Amelia Williams Copper J 2nd Megan Tisshaw Stroodorps Fuliette 3rd Sally Ingram Twinkel 4th Lana Robinson Ebony 5th Libby O’Brian Southern Rose 6th Ellie Hall Star   Class 3 – 2’6-2’9 Place Rider Horse 1st Louise king Fred Astare 2nd Amelia Williams Copper J 3rd Megan Tisshaw Stroodorps Fuliette 4th Lana Robinson Ebony

We have just added this new page which will shortly be developed, and hope we will receive feedback from interested Parents.

We are pleased to advise that we have added some photographs to our Events Gallery taken at our ‘Hartpury College Qualifier’ competition, so have a look and see if one is of you! We intend doing this on a regular basis, but you need to attend to get a picture! We offer this as a free service and hope this will become popular with those photogenic riders in action! From this show we feature today Megan Tisshaw.  We were advised by her mother that Megan had a great day on her new pony, and what a lovely pony she is to, BUT she has an almost impossible name for Jilly to pronounce.  Poor Jilly had great fun with her trusted companion – Rachie, trying to pronounce the name ‘Stroodorps Fuliette’.  However, Jilly did try with varying degrees of success much to the amusement of Megan and her mum – Tara.

We are pleased to advise that we are now able to offer BHS Stage 1, 2 and 3 training programmes in 4 week blocks commencing from Thursday 17th May 2012 for Stage 1.  These courses are intended to be progressive through to Stage 3 between the hours of 9.30 am to 2.30pm, for one day a week. Please click on the link below to enable you to obtain further details of the course syllabus with T&C and print off as necessary. We are offering the use of our facilities to Becci Trower BHS1 (regd) UKCC 3 (generic) who will be the course instructor and will be providing all necessary course content, handouts and instruction. It is intended that the theory side of the syllabus will be carried out in our viewing gallery at our indoor arena, with stable management and other practical training being carried out at our stable yard

Remember the Octopus which predicted the winners of each round for the World Cup, well we received a call today from Radio 5 Live who were attending and featuring the 2012 Cheltenham Festival at the Race Course this week and decided they would contact a local equestrian centre so they could arrange for a horse or pony to predict winners for the Queen Mother Champion Chase today, the World Hurdle tomorrow and the Gold Cup on Friday.  The good news is that they chose us and Kauto Stone was chosen by our resident pony ‘Angus’ for today’s winner. Radio 5 Live will be mentioning our venue and the predicted winner each day, so listen out and you may be a winner! We thank Kevin Day (Presenter) and Emily Croydon from Radio 5 Live for approaching us and for Charlotte lending us the use of her pony, with assistance from Jackie
