Good Morning All.

I know there are heaps of you who are trying to book September and October dates. HUGE apologies but they are not yet on Ec Pro. We are open for the rest of this week and then we are closed for a week as we do every year. Summer is incredibly busy and it is so important that our horses and ponies have a well deserved weeks holiday in the field before the weather turns, that our coaches get a well deserved week off from teaching and so the yard staff can be on reduced hours. It also gives us a time to tidy up and get ready for Autumn!!

This is also the time that we have a LOT of meetings and do a whole heap of planning! So please bear with us and I promise by the end of next week we will have as many September and October dates on as possible and hopefully lots of exciting plans to tell you all about 😊

Also, just a quick reminder about our End of Summer Awards evening on Saturday 12th September. EVERYONE is welcome so please do all come along. Friends and family are of course more than welcome. It’s a great chance to celebrate what an amazing past 12 months we have had, catch up with friends and celebrate those who have won an award (of which there are plenty!)

Day four of National Pony Club Champs.

Monday was changeover day here at Champs. This meant a day of no competition but plenty of comings and goings as we waved goodbye to some of our members and welcomed some more 🙂 There was also time to do a bit of chilling and have some fun off the ponies 😂

Today we have members competing in the Dressage, The Endurance Challenge and a whole minibus of our Pony Club members arriving later on today for the National Centres Sleepover 🫶. Busy busy busy!!

Day Two and Three of National Pony Club Champs. 🫶🫶🫶

We have had a jam packed weekend full of Polocrosse and Mounted Games. This has been our first year qualifying any teams for the Polocrosse so it has definitely been a learning curve for us all, but my goodness our Junior and Senior Teams have made us proud. They have all worked sooooo hard over the two days with a chukka every morning and afternoon. Our Junior Team were turned out beautifully managing a second in the Tack and Turnout and coming fourth overall, with our Senior team competing against some incredibly fast teams coming third overall.

Our games riders smashed their day on Saturday coming second in the Tack and Turnout and racing hard all afternoon against some insanely fast pairs. 🫶🫶 They held their own and looked amazing. We are so proud of them 💖💖

We now have a ‘Changeover Day’ tomorrow with some of our members leaving and some more arriving, then everything gets super busy again on Tuesday 😁

Day one of Pony Club National Champs.

We loaded and were heading out the gate at 3am this morning, we wanted to avoid the heat AND the traffic and we managed both!! We arrived at Champs before 9am which was great and we have spent a day of settling in and getting organised ready for a super busy day tomorrow.

We have two Polocrosse teams competing tomorrow who qualified at the area competition plus a pair competing in the mounted games who qualified at the Zone Finals. 🥰

The best day in the sunshine 😍😍😍

HUGE thanks to everyone who came along and supported us today….those who rode and those who came in hand, the people who came along to our dog show and all of the people who turned out in force to watch and support. We are so grateful for you all 🫶🫶🫶

The hugest thanks of course to the amazing Julia Powney Photography for capturing all of our Summer memories so so beautifully 💖💖
