VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR PRIZE...
As the new year begins, we would like to remind members that we cannot run our shows without help from volunteers. It's fun and friendly and if you're with us for the whole day, lunch is provided. If you'd like to help for a morning or afternoon, coffee, tea, water and biscuits are provided. We give you training before you start, then it's up to you to have fun and get to meet other members. NOT ONLY THAT, each volunteer session is noted and the member who has helped the most wins a fabulous Hamper, presented at the AGM & Awards Evening.
Last year, the rather large Christmas Hamper was deservedly won by Vanessa Greg, who was quite a regular pole picking at the show jumping shows at Aylesford!
Please either phone or email Claire Lowbridge who is our Volunteer Co-Ordinator with any dates that you would like to help. Thank you.

A Super Day At Our Dressage Champs on 5th October...
New Dressage Show Date Added To The Calendar- 2nd November - & Double League Table Points Agreed For Last AE & SJ Shows of 2025.
Junior League Table Points Reviewed...
At the last committee meeting on 13th May, the allocation of League Table points for junior riders was reviewed and, in order to represent a fairer allocation of points for our junior members, the following was agreed.
When classes do not have enough junior and senior competitors and are therefore not split into junior and senior sections, points for the leagues will be allocated separately to both juniors and seniors with rosettes and placings on the day being allocated for the whole class as one section. League Tables will up backdated to reflect this decision.
50th Anniversary Dressage Championships
This will be an extra special Open Dressage Show with the championship classes running in addition to the existing classes which will still be open to all. You will need to qualify for the championship classes with 3 tests at 62.00% and above with the same horse and rider combination - Good Luck!
