To all the Forest of Dean Stewards that volunteered at Crick over the last four days a big thank you, it was much appreciated. Our members had some good results too, Esther Rawlinson 3rd in Novice Pony, Richard Butt 1st in Novice Horse, Amelia Waddicor 6th in a strong Open Pony class. Some of our regular competitors also did well, Jane Hendy 1st in Gateway and Rowena Moyse 1st in Adv Horse Pairs, well done to everyone.
Thank you so much for making this possible, I So enjoyed driving my horses, and having you cheer us on was inspiring.
A massive thank you for all that helped over the weekend pleasure to work with you all.
Thank you Fodders for stewarding and Cheering us all on.. Great to see you all xx
You're welcome. I enjoyed writing and observing for obstacles. Thanks for great bacon rolls and lunches too. Ask me again any time 🙂
It was lovely seeing familiar faces as we went round.
Again next year 😁
Thank you so much for all your efforts so that we could compete. Henry and I had a ball
To all our members and supporters, do you want to try Gateway, there is still time to enter the competition at Cricklands on the 9th June, closing date for entries has been extended.
Gateway now starting at 11.30 for dressage in the Celtic Arena which is the grass arena over the old rail line with obstacles at 12 in the bottom field and 12.50 in the main arena for cones, approx time
Not sure exactly but come about 9/9.30 and you can watch the cones in the main competition as well as watching the Gateway.
What time does the gateway start on Sunday? We'd like to come and watch with a view to entering next time.
Go on,, you’ll have fun
Thank you to everyone who came to our Gateway competition yesterday and thank you to all my helpers who just about managed to stay dry , first time scoring yesterday so thanks to Nichola Waddicor for providing moral support. Just a few photos kindly taken by Jo.
Brilliant event, very well run. Stewards were so lovely 😍 ran like clockwork.. glad nobody got soaked. Brilliant parking arrangements on concrete so nobody got stuck. Excellent tea and cakes !! Fab obstacles to encourage smooth driving. Stabling offered to my young pony. So much hard work goes into the planning of such an event.. not helped by one driver changing mind on which ponies she's bringing 🤣🤣 so sorry about that .. it was all down to the last minute to try and sort transport issues. Thank you for your patience 🙏.. see you in the summer.. pray we get some sun between now and then! Well done Team Putloe 👏
Such a great venue. Well organised, everyone is so lovely and helpful/supportive. Can't thank everyone enough for making our day so joyful and fun. We look forward to seeing you all again next mth 🐴❤️
Thanks team for for all your hard work in organising such a great event. We had a fantastic time and Pepper is now king of the cones as he managed to slide into sitting position in the middle of a cone and not knock any balls off 😂😂😂
Thanks so much for all your time, effort and hardwork that went into a fantastic event . 👏 😁
Thank you for a great event. Fab! 🙂
Times can be adjusted
Thank you for giving Wilfred a lovely experience for his first time out. And thank you to everyone who helped get him back on the lorry, he obviously wanted to stay 😂
