Many congratulations to Hatty Ford who competed as an individual at the PC championships and came 4th in her arena.Ī fantastic achievement, well done!

Josh Moore and Katie Hale also successfully competed in the Novice eventing. Clarissa Burnell-Price, Josh Moore, George Grassly and Katie Hale competed in the Novice Showjumping and although were not placed all enjoyed the experience of jumping in full view of the Castle. Katie Hale was placed 1st in her section in the Novice dressage thus qualifying for the Championships ride off where she finished 7th. We all had a most enjoyable barbecue on the Saturday evening with over 30 SUPC representatives eating delicious meat cooked by Chris Burnell-Price and Chris Thompson.Ī fun few days were spent at Cholmondeley Castle in Cheshire by members of the Surrey Union Pony Club. Not only did she watch everyone (arriving 10 seconds before Alice’s 1st showjumping round), she beautifully plaited some of the horses and gave much help and advice. Many thanks should go to all the competitors, families and friends who made the weekend such an enjoyable experience and special thanks goes to Debby Winchester for travelling all the way to Cheshire by train to support and help us all.
