RIDER ACHIEVEMENTS 2016
Apologies if I have excluded anyone. Please let me know.
In May, the Hadrian’s Challenge was held alongside rides at Eildons, which is a SERC Ride. Sarah Wilkinson got a team together to represent Durham & Teesside Group. Two team members dropped out but Sarah, Nicky Pink and Karen Fairbairn travelled up to Scotland to take part. Our team borrowed a Cumbria member, and so had our team of 4. Unfortunately, Nicky’s horse lost a shoe and she retired. Although Boy Blue passed the final vetting we could not count his score.
We did not win the competition but we did have a lot of fun and the opportunity to ride over some spectacular countyside. Thank you to Sarah for organising and Nicky for taking part.
Many congratulations to Nicky Pink who took part in the Lindum Spirit Team Event, 4x40 km relay. Nicky successfully completed her part of the relay.
Congratulations also to Sue Russell and Lynsey Bainbridge who also at Lindum won the Lindum Digger and were placed in the pairs.
Congratulations also to Leanne Manze and Lee Nichol who won the Lindum Roamer, and congratulations to Lee also as his horse won the best shod.
On an international level, many congratulations to Sarah Wilkinson and Leo III who were chosen to represent England in the Home International’s held in Ireland. They successfully completed their two day ride, and England came 2nd in the competition.
Thank you to Kate Cassidy, who owns Leo III for allowing him to represent not only England but also our Group.
Congratulations also to Sarah and Leo III who were included on the National Senior Championship list.
Northumberland & Tyneside held their annual meeting on Wednesday. Well done and congratulations to Sarah & Leo III who won The Urban Horse Award.
Congratulations to Ian Savage who has been this year the North Liasion Officer to the Director of Groups. Ian will continue in this role.
Congratulations to Kerry Dawson who is the National Groups Director.
Finally many congratulations to Ester Young who received the National Rosettes Direct Award, the “Unsung Hero” award.
Many congratulations to you all.
