The Branch Show went ahead last Sunday despite some rather damp and inclement weather. Thankfully nobody seemed put off by the intermittent rain and the event was well attended with many happy riders. Mary Emeny kept a record of who won in each class; a full listing is at the end of this post.
We are very grateful to the following organisations who kindly sponsored the event:
- Cassidy Sporthorses
- Dragons Green Livery
- Town Place Equestrian Trec
I’m happy to report that the event made a healthy profit which will be ploughed back into branch funds.
Craig Payne did his usual excellent job of photographing anything that moved or jumped, click here to visit his website and view proofs of the pictures which he will be delighted to sell you!
Downsview Farm chose a dreadful day to début their home made ice cream while Paul Taylor was kept busy supplying welcome hot food and drinks all day. John Bedford provided public address which made sure everyone was kept up to date with proceedings as well as helping set up and course building for the working hunters ring.
Special thanks go to the following members who worked tirelessly to help ‘the few’ set up on Saturday: Katie Beard, Rebecca England, Evie Pope and Ellie Tijou plus, of course, ‘the few’ themselves!
Of course the show would not have been possible without Mary Emeny (ably assisted by her family) who did all the behind the scenes arranging, took the entries, transported the jumps, roped the arenas, set up the courses and manned the secretaries caravan. Once again Debbie Medlicott supplied the judges and helpers with sandwiches and light refreshments and Trina Riley organised the rosettes.
Also thanks go to those who helped clear up very efficiently on Sunday afternoon and towed the jumps back to their lair.
Finally, a special thank you you Nick and Sonia Harvey for allowing us to hold the show at Wivelsden and who doubtless had other things to think about as it was the day of Nick’s 40th birthday and attendant celebrations. Happy Birthday Nick!
As you can see putting on a show is a team effort and a lot of people are involved but we could always do with some new faces so don’t be shy!
