Hat and Body Protector Rules

Please find attached the new hat and body protector rules for 2019. Amendments are shown in bold text.

Dressage

We have been invited to BDS NE Wales (British Driving Society) to watch them train, dressage and maybe some obstacle course. It is at Maelor this Sunday 27th January from 10am until 12pm. You will get the chance to ride on the back of a carriage, so hats and body protectors must be worn. Limited spaces. Cost £5. Contact Jane Grindal ASAP (07890 107492).

Dressage Anywhere

This is an excellent way to start for those of you who have never done a competition test, and excellent for those who want to improve. 

Dressage to Music

At the Pony Club Championship there is a Dressage to Music competition. At the minute its only open to Pony Club members who are also members of British Dressage. If anyone would like to put their name forward please contact Jane Grindal (dressage@fndponyclub.org.uk). Steph Bradley has kindly offered to train those wishing to compete.

Mold Triathlon

Once again Flint & Denbigh Branch was well represented at the Mold Triathlon with 19 competitors. There was a great atmosphere and team members supported each other. Only one person came home without a prize of some sort. There were 87 competitors and 20 Teams forward, and Flint & Denbigh were 2nd (Daisy Stone, Isabella Stone, Leah Lamb and Neisha Roberts) and 6th (Orla Kissane, Imogen Kissane, Lili Edwards and Eos Newton).

Individual achievements were:
