Please support this petition

 

The Government is under pressure from riding groups to equal the number of bridleways in the country (currently approx 20,000 miles) up to the same level as footpaths (approx 91,000) miles to help reduce horses on the road/accidents while promoting outdoor activity and safe use of the countryside for all sexes and ages.
This will only happen if people sign the online petition. Please go to:- 
 
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/15341 
to sign and help get riders equal rights to walkers/ramblers. 
  
If they get 100,000 signatures they have to do something about it, so please pass this on to as many people as possible

AGM

 

Hope you all enjoyed the AGM, it was great to see so many Members there, the busniess side of things passed easily and quickly which left plenty of time for everyone to catch up with old friends, we all enjoyed the Quiz after supper and a big thanks to Luisa for her hard work in putting that together. 

 

Keysoe Members "out and about"

Let us know where you have been and wnat you have been up to

   

 

 These pictures were taken recently at Shuttleworth College, where members Sue Squirrell. Veronica Zwetsloot and Joy Jones were taking part in the first indoor driving competition of the season.  Doug Jones was judging paces, Liz and Jane judged precision in the dressage phase, there was also an obstacle and cone phase, none of which looked very easy, and Sue Squirrell went home with a third place!

 

 

Keysoe Klingons Team Chase team

 

Last year we ran a Team Chase teamat some of the more local team chases and had great fun, we need a team of 4 riders and horses- and if possible a few more in case of any misadventure! If you are interested please contact Helen Dawson (asap) on 07887 956302 and she will organise entries and a practice session.   You need to be able to jump a 2'9" course, horses must be over 4 yrs old and already partly or completely fit.  Possible outing include the Grafton

on23rd Oct, Cotswold on Oct 30th, Essex and Suffolk on Nov 6th and Pytchley on Nov 16th. 

 

Trec Competition 28th August 2001

 

Well after weeks of planning, discussion, walking bridle paths, the cross country course and several lunches out the day of the competition arrived.  We were very lucky with the weather and the rain held off so that everyone, helpers and competitors alike had the ideal weather conditions.  We had 34 starters and we managed not to lose anyone!  Judging by the favourable comments everyone had a really good day and enjoyed the cop, ptv course and the por ride.  Many thanks to all the volunteers and helpers without whom we could not have managed such an event.  Well done to all the competitors and your result sheets, rosettes and prizes will be posted to you shortly.  I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing despite several sleepless nights - and I would like to thank Sue Squirrel for giving up so much of her time to make this event successful. Without her input and help this event would not have happened.  Also a big thank you to Liz Mitchinson who on the day wrestled with the computer scoring system and after a couple of hiccups produced the results which you should have seen by now on the club website.  I would also like to thank Mary Weston who was our official BHS TD officer and her daughter Helen who assisted on the day.  We do hope to be able to stage another trec event next year and hope that we get the same level of support and help to make it even more successful.   (Hopefuly pics to follow soon)

Team Chasing
 

Anyone interested in forming a team chasing team? You need to be reasonably confident that your horse will jump a 3ft course and in control enough to be able to ride at a set position in the team. Please contact Helen Dawson 07887 956 302

 

First Aid Training

 

It was suggested by the committee that we organize a First Responder First Aid training session. Please let us know if you are interested in attending to gain this certificated qualification. As a club it is imperative that we have First Aiders attending our events and competitions in case of accidents.  We are also interested to know who many of our members already hold this qualification. Please be kind enough to contact a committee member and let us know.
