Hi Folks,

Hope you are all having a good summer.  I know some of you have qualified for The Pony Club Championships, or the Novice Championships, so good luck to all of you, and to those of you who are doing the Charles Owen Pony Racing Series – hope to see you at a couple of the races and at Aintree for the finals in October.

As an area we are very well represented both in the Charles Owen and at Pony Club.

We now start to think of next seasons Pony Racing – the Pt to Pt dates are not finalized yet, but we will probably have 8 Pt to Pts hosting Pony Racing next season, with the Albrighton being the first one in February – this is a joint area meeting with the West Midlands.  Some of you will already have seen on the PRA web site that a PRA/PC Pony Racing training day has been organized for our area at Aintree on 28th October, this will count to your qualification for next season.  The day will again be for all levels from the first timer to the experienced Pony Racer with instructors for all levels.  The day consists of balance and fitness work – both pony and rider, work on the equisiser, what to expect at the races, saddling up, and work on the gallops.  Put this date in your diary.  Application forms will be available soon, but in the meantime should you wish to go send me an e-mail and I will put your name on the list.

Happy summer, hope to see you all soon.

Regards … Ruth
